    There are 26,000 comments on that story. That is incredible, right?

    I'm sure all 26,000 are totally intelligent and make totally rational points, too.

    It's depressing, really. "Protect and Serve"... until we decide to take our ball and go home, because you are being mean to us.

    "Any family losing loved ones in Baltimore should sue the heck out of the City Mayor, the City DA and any other 'officials' who are following Obama's plan for mutual destruction and total chaos. All part of the plan for people to think that they cannot live without massive Government control and a Federal Police Force."

    Not for nothing, but I know one woman who had six kids by the time she was 25. She had two sets of twins.

    I know a woman who has 19 kids. They live a very nice, quiet life in the Midwest somewheres.

    Baltimore's population had dropped nearly significantly in 40 years as well, from 900,000+ to 600,000+, so per capita, it's off the charts:

    With three men killed in eastside shootings on Sunday, Baltimore recorded its deadliest month in more than 40 years.

    The 43 killings in May surpassed the 42 homicides the city saw in August 1990, and left Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake defending police and her administration.
