The mayor of Baltimore is begging residents to stop shooting one another to allow doctors and nurses to focus on saving coronavirus patients and not gunshot wound victims. In a statement on Wednesday, the Mayor Jack Young said: 'I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently. 'We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime. 'For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it. 'We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.

He's going to make it a crime! Equal to using a racial slur.

Well, that’s mighty inconsiderate of these thugs to tie up vital hospital beds shooting people. If they have any kind of civic oblique, they should wait until after the emergency passes, then they can commence firing again.

a brief and passing moment of lucidity.... He (she? / it?) will soon come to their 'senses' and give the DinDuNuffins safe passage to assault, steal, and, hey, why not, kill.

It's only the bad guys that are doing the shooting. The good guys are unarmed.

Well to be honest, he probably hasn't ever said "Pretty please, with sugar on top" so maybe it will work.

It's not like he can increase already stringent gun control laws.

This situation is now heading toward utter absurdity. This story is quite hilarious and indicative of just how far parts of the country have fallen into blatant idiocy.
My daughter-in-law works for a company contracted to state govt. and her job is to visit many homes per day and inspect them to ensure they are providing approved care for foster children. This is obviously a situation that opens her up for infection and then turn her into an agent to infect many others. Yet there is no mention from her superiors about suspending operations for a time. On the other hand my son has been sent home, with pay, for two weeks with the intention of lessening the chance of spread of this disease. Of course he works for a private business.

LOL! Yeah, that will work. Hah!
Robert Heinlein had a number of "rules to live by" that he promulgated. One comes to mind.
"Never try to appeal to your enemy's better nature, he may not have one."
Yeah, that.

Now that's funny, I don't care who y'are. The low lifes need to be told to shoot straighter and hit the vital spots. No beds necessary.

What a joke.
The criminals are not idiots. They are dope addicts and soldiers in a billion dollar drug cartel. If the hizzoner had any will to confront them he'd have done it already.

Isn't it a little late for this? You probably needed to start this about 30 years ago, Mayor.

Seems to be more alarmed by a nothing virus than he is from daily shootings. Mayor Young has his priorities straight.

Never any concern about it until today. More people die from high velocity steel jacketed lead poisoning in the city every day than from CV.

This is right up there with ISIS telling their suicide bombers to stay out of Europe lest they catch the virus. I guess that Allah demands that jihadis be healthy when they martyr themselves or they don’t get their 72 goats.
Maybe Young should just tell them to make sure they kill and not just wound the other gang-bangers.

As I read this, they were tolerating this before and weren't going after the shooters? What's the I.Q. requirement to be a dim politician, 12?

Really, Really, what an idiot this mayor is. The gang members, drug dealers don’t care about life. To think for a minute that they care about their fellow man shows this mayor’s naivety. And the asinine comment were going to come after you, yeah like they’ve never heard that before. These people don’t care if they die. Just announce that if you are a gang member that is a casualty of a shooting we will no help you. Give us a call and we’ll send out the meat wagon to collect the body.

Man, that was the best laugh I've all week! The leaders of Baltimore are finally concerned about the shootings in their city because they take up too many beds! Progressives say the darnest things!

All that mayor has to do is declare no beds for shooting victims. Let them kill each other.
