With 37 murders in September, 231 on the year and a higher proportion of stabbing and beating deaths than normal, it seems that the Harm City Hoodrats are making a championship run. In light of the fact that Baltimore had twice as many kills per person as 2nd place Detroit did last year we might see another winning year, the not likely a record year.
However, the increased violence in the surrounding County and the more physical means of death, and also the fact that the gentrified enclave of South Baltimore, with its bulging hipster population and 4 cops, has now had three pale bodies dropped there in the last 12 months, two this past week, indicates that we will probably see a trend towards less killings of criminals and more beatings and robberies of civilians.
A young man was gunned down by muggers in front of his house on Riverside, a young woman’s body dumped not a mile away. It was discovered that this man had been robbed at that very spot this time last year and that the hipsters who drove out the old city hicks through skyrocketing property values now have none of the white trash protection that they once enjoyed, which is what made South Baltimore a viable ghost person enclave. Neighborhood people are saying that they no longer walk the streets at night.
It’s on, as they say.
In the meantime the FBI and BPD have ruled that the murder of detective David Suiter, on the street, in front of a witnesses, the day before his testimony in a federal drug case, was a suicide! I shit you not. Yes, he was probably dirty like a third of the BPD, but he had been detailed to investigate a Harlem Park murder with a substitute partner, was shot by a black man in a hooded sweatshirt in a greenspace with his own gun, and then, when the phony partner tried rushing him to the hospital, the car was T-boned in an accident.
I am so glad I just stopped into Baltimore for a beer and didn’t stay.
Opium deaths are up even higher than last year, including people I know.
A civilian was shot in a road rage crossfire on I-695 at noon on Sunday.
The BPD is only investigating itself.
And the only thing keeping the killings down below one a day seems to be heavy precipitation and deep cold… and Indian Summer is rolling in with 80-degrees and sunny in the forecast.
And what did The Baltimore Sun newspaper devote its front page and three interior pages to?
Not a mention of the current violence, but rather a falsified white guilt article on historic lynchings which claims Italians were not white and that the whites that were lynched were Hispanics…
Goddamn Harm City.
Here we go:
What is your prediction for Harm City kills this year?
Last year was 342, adjusted down from 343 and we are currently at 231.
A free PDF awaits the winning pick.
I am starting off with a prediction of 303 for 2018.

The whole thing is despicable.
300, Trump making things better even in the hood.
Speaking of killing, here’s some red meat for you James: newscientist.com/article/2180923-every-man-in-spain-was-wiped-out-4500-years-ago-by-hostile-invaders/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
Nothing we didn’t already know, the Sons of Arias slew all the men in Iberia, Gaul, Ireland and Britain, and now we all have R1b haplotype. Fun to read tho.
315 . Global warming is going to help the hood rats ! Go Baltimore Hoodrats ..🤽🏿♂️🐭
That is the number I would have predicted for 2018 in January.
Fun fact, we had a civil war here in Melanialand back in 1991 and the total official death toll was "only" 63 KIA (19 our side, 44 the Yugoslav army). So from my perspective you are essentially a war correspondent James! Covering the great hood wars...
Got your bullet proof press vest yet?
No, but I do have my lucky hat.
I'm going to go with 315, unless of course, an Indian Summer and nice fall weather extend out 30 plus days that make conditions ideal, for stabbings, beatings and multiple daily deaths. I'm going with a slightly less death than one a day...maybe .89 a day.
And, yea, what once was a DMZ (although, technically not) between the hipsters and the white trash; the hipsters lost the protection buffer and risk much greater exposure to predation. You'll have to adjust your map and corresponding predation zones, but not by much.
The Harm City Hoodrats have much better firearm skillz than the Chicongo Reparations Agents:

James, can you provide a link to the verdict in the Suiter "suicide" case? I thought there were eyewitnesses to him being shot. WTF?
Shep, I am afraid to report on this any further—seriously afraid.
There was a witness.
Tomorrow I'm posting a story about a witness in Baltimore.
I'm heading right back out of town—bro.
Take care of yourself!
I'm very skeptical about cop but you read this,"...murder of detective David Suiter, on the street, in front of a witnesses, the day before his testimony in a federal drug case, was a suicide..." and you have to wonder why would the cops do anything at all but eat doughnuts. With this kind of shit over their heads, why try at all? Is there any point in trying to be a decent cop? Where would it get you? This is shameful.
