MORE SIGNS THE OBAMA CRIME WAVE HAS BEGUN: 16 SHOT IN BALTIMORE IN ONE DAY

NYTIMES/AP: 12 Shot, Injured at Baltimore Cookout in Drug Feud

A gunman burst into a backyard cookout held in the memory of two men who'd been shot to death a year earlier, wounding 12 people in a shooting police say was sparked by a gang feud, Baltimore police said Monday.

In all, 16 people were shot in a period of about three hours on Sunday night and early Monday morning, police said. A pregnant 23-year-old and a 2-year-old girl were wounded at the cookout, but they were expected to recover.

Two men were killed in one of the later shootings, but it was apparently unrelated to the cookout attack.

The number of people shot in such a short period was unprecedented in the city's history, Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said.

''It stacks up pretty high,'' Bealefeld said. ''To have 12 people shot in one incident and (others) scattered around east Baltimore, it's just absolutely ridiculous.''

The cookout shooting and a drive-by shooting three hours later were both related to a long-running feud between rival drug gangs, Bealefeld said

WE PREDICTED A CRIME WAVE, HERE.

WE OFFERED PROOF IT HAD BEGUN EARLIER, HERE.

HOW DID WE KNOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN?

SIMPLE:

WHETHER IN FOREIGN POLICY OR DOMESTIC AFFAIRS, APPEASEMENT ONLY INVITES MORE BAD BEHAVIOR.

AND OBAMA AND THE LEFT ARE APPEASERS.

THEY AVE FOR DECADES LOVED TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR CRIMINAL - BY BLAMING SOCIETY AND NOT THE PERPS.

MORE ON THAT HERE. EXCERPTS:

... The liberals have handcuffed the police. Race-mongers [LIKE GATES AND SHARPTON AND JACKSON AND WRIGHT] intimidate the law-abiding with the bluster and buffoonery of an Al Sharpton, and the smooth sophistry of a Professor Loury.

THAT'S RIGHT: LIBERAL POLICIES AND LIBERAL LEADERS MAKE CRIME GO UP...

... inner city black communities have come to tolerate a level of lawlessness which the hard-working, church-going, family-raising black men and women who migrated from the deep South would never have allowed.

And there you have the problem in a nutshell. The black family survived slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, World Wars I & II, and the Depression. But the black family could not survive the liberal wrecking ball of the Great Society programs that facilitated illegitimacy and idleness. A once proud community of men and women whose seemingly infinite capacity for backbreaking work made them sought-after by industrial employers in the Northern cities, has been reduced to dependency by liberal politicians who created a socialistic plantation where docile, reliable Democratic voters were used to perpetuate their own helplessness. And reduced to a condition of tolerating the crime and mayhem that is tearing it apart.

Such is the America that socialistic liberals wish for us all.

OBAMA WANTS TO CHICAGO-IZE THE USA - AND CHICAGO, LIKE BALTIMORE, HAS A HORRIBLE MURDER RATE AND RAMPANT CRIME. AND CHICAGO AND BALTIMORE ARE DEMOCRAT RUN CITIES. THAT'S NO MERE COINCIDENCE.

... Criminals are not innocent victims of the law enforcement system [AS OBAMA AND THE LEFT SEE THEM], they are willful predators, who prey on the weak and the innocent in order to satisfy their own desires. And the purpose of incarcerating them is not punishment for punishment's sake, the purpose of incarceration is not punishment at all -- its purpose is simply to keep them off the street so that their innocent victims can have some respite time from their depredations.

OBAMA SEES ZELAYA AND CASTRO AND CHE AND IRAQ AND THE PALIS - AND YOUR AVERAGE RUN-OF-THE-MILL GUN-TOTING DRUG-DEALING HIP-HOPPING STREET THUG - AS VICTIMS, NOT BAD GUYS.

SO HE APPEASES THEM.

IT'S A ONE-WAY TICKET TO MORE CRIME.

AND IT HAS BEGUN.
