- The continued gun violence that's happening across the city was up close to one man's home Monday. The violence has him frustrated over police presence that he says seems to come and go--here for big events like the Preakness, then diminishes, he says.
It was an alarming afternoon for Jimmy Harper. He shared his concerns while sitting on his porch with a friend on Oakley Avenue, with a crime scene in front of his home.
"Somebody need to do something about these guns...too many guns out here," said Harper.

Can't blame the school system for a lack of parenting, trash culture, and personal behavior.
Sure you can. When you vote for ppl based on race AND for crap policies, blame is the only thing you can do.
@bigmountain1970 That's an stupid
Don't forget proverty and parents that don't value education and who are miss educated as well.
@@SolidSnake-cn7mo ..he didnt forget it "lack of parenting, trash culture, and personal behavior."
Vicious cycle will continue generation after generation.
The people overwhelmingly voted for these people who seek to defund the police at the same time crying for more police! Make it make sense!
Defund the police"???? What is this 2020? that was an idea that was created when a now non existent BLM was running their mouths.... it was an Idea that never even happened and it was intended for the Rouge police that the public felt as though needed to be retrained after committing crimes against citizens not the actual good officers that really do their jobs correctly
Exactly!!
Same got damn thing I said. "Oh let's defund the police". "We can police our own city". Crime wave hits the city "oh my god where are the police". "We need help". "Somebody help us please". Very interesting
Exactly.
Nobody wants to defund the police just get rid of the psychopaths that have infiltrated the ranks there should be no reason for the senseless punching and kicking and tasing of mostly minor traffic offenders including women u see it on u tube everyday c'mon open your eyes I'm pro police but when I see cops dragging pregnant women and old sick men out of vehicles before giving them a chance it makes me sick
He blames guns not the people using them he's definitely a Democrat
I vote primarily Democrat and I believe it's the guns and the people using them.
@@mzturtle7673 I have over 4 firearms and they never acted out, not even once
Poor parenting is the problem! Where is the accountability? This is insane!
IS anyone going to Discuss how the community was Screaming "Defund the Police" during BLM... without knowing that it included fewer police on the street? Baltimore Streets cant have it both ways
@@c.morris402 Trust me, Everyone wasn't screaming "Defund the Police". The media just highlighted the ignorant few who were screaming that nonsense!
@@c.morris402 - Defund the police doesn't mean to get rid of the police. It's partially a call for the budget that the department currently has is reduced and that those funds are used in other areas like education, community outreach, social service programs etc... I mean why not try it and see? The current way isn't & hasn't been working for quite some time now. Personally, I think it's time to try something new.
@@mzturtle7673 Most of the crimes are being committed by youth. We can't keep brushing over that to then say "defund the police" to relocate the funds. Social programs can't replace Accountable adults. Now if parents decided to volunteer moor that could help.
@@mzturtle7673 because it’s fucking retarded? This reeks of privileged white person (I’m white.) shitty social programs have been tried and failed massively in this country. Whether it’s the war on poverty, sex education, or criminal justice reforms. Or even something like the safe streets program is shit. Hard on crime policies work, not feel-good programs that you can pat your back and talk about how woke and virtuous you are. YOUR POLICIES DONT WORK. You sit from your place of comfort and have the balls to destroy the community and then talk about how great you are
I wonder why Crump thinks its the teachers, and not the parent or parents. Funny how this accountability works. They call out guns,teachers,cops but not the criminal,the parent, or the courts.
Because that expose him as a grifter and race baiter.
Typical victim narrative: It's never, ever your own fault.
I agree that it’s the parents fault but the parents and grandparents also did not receive equitable education or opportunities either which contributes to their deficiencies as parents. I also recognize there are plenty of people from the same environment who are decent and raise decent kids so part of it is an individuals intellect, resilience, and will power to overcome their circumstances and that’s God given.
@@joyt458 they knew right from wrong, used to be way more two parent families in the 60's & early 70's. Now its all baby Mommas and baby Daddies. Add in schools just push "students" through its system, needs to stop too. But learning right from wrong is taught at home. So lets start by holding parents accountable.
Baltimore is filled with clowns…..defund the police narrative now they looking for the police. Blaming everyone else except the ghetto trash that needs to be blamed!
Seriously who would put a business in crime ridden Baltimore? Your gonna lose money .
to launder dirty money of course.
Stop blaming the schools! Its the parents that should be blamed.
Exactly!!!🙄
Only the parents? Have you ALWAYS obeyed EVERY rule your parents set for you?!?!
@mzturtle7673 My parents had standards and expectations. I lived up to them. I'm a product of the Baltimore City public school system. I have a college degree from the University of Maryland. I now reside in Southern California. You couldn't pay me to move back to Baltimore. It's not because of the schools it's because of the parents. They make excuses for their wildin children. My youngest son was raised in California but he lives in Baltimore. He has a degree from an Ivy League school, he's not out there terrorizing the community. He wasn't raised that way. Baltimorons have always been Baltimorons.
No accountability, it’s not just on the schools. It’s on the parents and the teens to be just as committed.
The problem is that the parents are just as ignorant as their children. These are inherited behaviors will only end with the stiffest of punishments for the sole purpose of changing the cultural dynamics: Government benefits cut, Banned from subsidies for certain activities, Juveniles charged as adults and incarcerated appropriately for crimes.
Dats juss Dey cultcha bru
Not enough prisons it's millions of them can't cut off welfare there will be a revolution and it's only gonna get worse
Rob Black parents? More like sheeple who're so ignorant & immature they're already statistics by 14 yrs old. They have no skills whatsoever, no home training, no job experience, no discipline, no respect, play the victim, don't have any faith in God, have 4 or 5 kids at 18, out clubbing at night whilst Grandma raising thier kids. They're dependent on the system, no work ethic, can't read, but know the latest rap dance. To add insult to injury the baby daddy is either in jail, dead, or out stealing cars. This is f*___ BS is nothing knew in the hood, sadly!
@@Diggyace14 Dey wuz kangz n sheeit
If there was a dad, he was probably the one that gave the son the stolen gun. Lol.
The residents are concerned, but they won't change their voting habits!!
Sheila Dixon for mayor because it worked so well last time.
I agree, they should stop voting for republicans.
But they take the side of criminals and go against police all the damn time. What do they want?
ALL OUR GREAT BLACK CITY OFFICIALS RUNNING FROM QUESTIONS, LOOKS LIKE THE BLACK MAYOR REALLY CARES.
All I hear are excuses
Im so sick of a city that continues to blame everyone except for the folks that live right under their noses
How about the ones above their noses? In high places.
@@MoeFokah are they supposed to go in people's homes and do a gun search or are home owners supposed to do that???? You can't be that foolish!!!! But then again 🤔
There's definitely enough blame to be passed out. Up, down, left and right!!! These issues aren't just the fault of one group EVERYONE around is involved in a city or community's demise.
Not the guns. It's the criminals. Guns will always be around. Criminals can be jailed or deleted.
one minute its defund the police, next its we need more LOL
No criminals equals no prisons, equals less police and law enforcement, less need for laws and Govt. But aye, we all need a boogeyman I guess
@@blackreacher you got it backwards. More crime equals more government. That's why half our politicians are pro criminal and anti law.
We need vigilante justice
@@williamisner8759 just don't get caught or democrats will fry you.
Please fire everyone of these officials and get some real city officials.
IT SURELY ISN'T FROM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY BUT STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.....
They will just keep voting the same kind of officials over and over again.
All of this is coming down to black communities coming together to resolve gun violence in the community. The police cannot help the community. The only ones that can help the community is the community is self to combat the problem.
It's not just the officials, it's the standards set by the people.
It's not just the leaders, it's the statues that govern these officials. Parents need to account for kids as well. We need safe places for these kids. Many of these kids homes don't have adequate food, and basic things a child needs to learn.
These Government officals are so Pathetic! They Care more for Criminals then they do decent folks that live in this State and City!
Yet the voters elected them and will elect more of the same next election.
Why would anyone want to live in Baltimore City or even open a store
Because some people care. You can't run from everything. It's bad everywhere.
@@antonburley9004 not where I live
Start with holding yourself, kids, friends and family members accountable. Then you can hold these schools and government officials accountable.
The government will never care about you more then yourself.
Now this is the truth! There is way too many fingers being pointed..these kids have to live somewhere..these parents know there kids are out here being reckless & we are tired of seeing these same parents speak on how good their kid was..Quit being a problem & be the solution!
No single parent homes is feuling the prison pipeline ! Sending undisciplined kids to a school to baby sit , Teachers got to fight with your bad ass kids !
Facts
It begins at home. You could change the education all you want but if it's not being enforced at home then it's all for naught. The teachers are just passing along bad students because they don't care so there needs to be a mass evaluation of all the teachers in the system. Get rid of or re-train failing ones. Definitely get rid of the ones who don't care about the students.
there would be no teachers left. bad advice. teaching in the inner city is no different than working at an old school warehouse for 30yrs. you just embrace the suck for the pension
I'm getting tired of this Milk Dud headed hustler Crump. These neglectful parents need to be sued.
I’m tired of him too, he’s there only for the money!
You abandoned your children. You get what you deserve. You feel abandoned? Good! ❤
exactly!!!
each and everyone of them have 4-7 kids
@@samgriess438 - I'm black and I only have 2 children. As a matter of fact, I know very few black people with 4 to 7 kids. Where are you getting your information from?
@@mzturtle7673 stats, thankfully for people like you that bring those numbers down
sadly there are too many black men that cant count their children
@@mzturtle7673 CDC and Pew Research data show that nearly 60% of black mothers are single. It's like 25% for whites and hispanics. 15% for asians. You are way off.
You feel abandoned? Why do you continue to vote for the people
that abandon you?
They be the same color.
@@paulhare662 yeah blue
Bringing in business to be robbed and unsafe?? They need to make it safe first
You voted for this democrats.
What good is for brand new shopping center if nothing is done about the murder rate
Who with half a brain would ooen a new buisness in Baltimore let alone a mall. In my opinion its just a free party weekend for the politicians
Abandoned? Well, you could arm and defend yourself. No, wait, your new Governor has made that far too difficult and expensive.
It's failing parents not failing schools that's causing the problem. No one will stop you from destroying yourself if that's what you want to do.
PARENTS are failing THEIR children….PERIOD DOT.
The parents, the neighbors, the community, the family members, the schools, the politicians........
It's not the school need to hold these kids accountable for there actions. Keep pointing ☝️ at everyone else is the problem it's the kids
Get the fathers to teach!
Curfew should start at 6pm for younger children and 9pm for the youth, then parents can find something positive to do with their children in house. Let them deal with their child's behavior or stop having children all together.
That's generous. I'm thinking curfew at 7pm.
Parents need to teach kids to behave in school not act up all through their classes
Some schools are designed for the students to act up.
Crime will surely go down tremendously once Wes Moores gun bill is in effect, it has to. 😆
It's amazing how citizens of Maryland have to suffer from being able to protect themselves just because of what's going on in Baltimore City.
Yeah everybody knows criminals won't break the law and buy an illegal gun. Problem solved right ?
Parents need to be held accountable - guns are in their homes.
Who did you vote for? How can a school succeed or fail if the students don't show up and the single parent is absent in their child's life? Any chance Ben Crump can use his ( and BLM's ) $$$ to open a school?
Agree
He's in it for the money😂😂😂
Its not the firearm Its the persons mindset Don't get tricked for your Bill of Rights.
The only way to reduce crime is 1. Having a zero tolerance policy by prosecuting all crimes. 2. Harsher punishments. 3. Longer sentences. Anything else is just politics and lip service. People will only change their criminal behavior when it's costs them something, their freedom.
For instance:
Fleeing from police in a car should no less than 5 years in prison, straight time and no early release.
Fleeing police in a car where there are injuries should be no less than 10 years in prison. Kill someone while fleeing police should be life in prison with parole.
If a felon is caught with a gun it should be at least 10 years in prison. Anyone using a gun to commit crimes like car jackings and robberies should be at least 20 years. Some criminals are only getting probation for this !!!!!
I'm kinda with you on this. The only problem I have with it is that the system is so corrupt that it tends to be difficult for a person without the ability to not use a public defender to actually get a fair trial. I'm in no way saying that every public defender is trash. I am however saying that money makes the world go 'round and there are a ton of cases where innocent people have and continue to go to jail. Then we have the issue of when they are released......I mean it's not like most are rehabilitated while they're in there. I meannnnnnnn I agree that prison and jail shouldn't be a vacation that being said can't we at least attempt to get to the root of the problem while they're in there? Locking a dog up in a cage for running out of the yard doesn't make them less likely to run out of the yard when you release them. That's an animal and it doesn't work so why do people believe it would work on a human being?
I moved to this neighborhood about 50ft from the shooting in 1967. It was very beautiful. I left in 1981. What a shame. They just refuse to look in the mirror. The neighborhood rep was standing on West Garrison ave adjacent to the Enoch Pratt library. They ruined it.
Was I bad in 81 or did you move for other reasons?
@@FUNNYMANERICWHITE The crime increased starting in 1970 as more blacks moved into the neighborhood.
Only some…. You mean everyone….
How is it the school’s job to raise kids, that’s an orphanage’s job or the parents.. like no other country burdens schools to do that…
They feel abandon but will vote for the same officials everytime.
Everyone is concerned....police commissioner nor politicians care...only want your money
They are always wanting to blame instead of taking responsibility that they are just out of control ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Who is this"they" that you speak of?
Time for The Preakness to move their race to a safer neighborhood
Yeah I said the same thing. This Fcken clowns wanted police gone. NOW DEAL WITH IT OR VOTE DIFFERENT
Time to turn Pimlico into a dirt bike park.
@@paulhare662 yeah well you won't catch me at that track
Nothing will help. You can move Preakness to Ten buck Two, and you can best believe the chimps and gorillas will follow.😮😢
To quote the great Chris Rock if they try to bring this business to Baltimore "Grand opening, 3 weeks later...grand closing"
If parents would put their kids in check, none of this gun violent would be happening. The police and lawyers are not the problem, it's these children out here at random acting a damn fool. Parents only show up when their children are caught by law enforcement. Some parents have a nerve to condone their child's behavior and when they get deleted, want people to protest or get justice. Living in Baltimore city or county is off the hook now, with these hard-headed children.
Start giving out a money fine to the parents for their child's behavior and see how they like it.
The accountability is endless, overall moral decay has been occuring for decades.
Ask your neighbors why aren't they raising their kids and teaching them something.
Ben Crump sue the parents for not caring about there kids or sue the teachers union for not firing bad teachers.
TOO MANY CAREER CRIMINALS
WE NEED THE DEATH PENALTY BACK
And term limits.
Damn straight
& un4tunately, many career criminals r sitting n political seats & disguised as police officers. Couple that with non accountable parents & u have a disaster.
@@mistermilkman through in "capitalism" and you are spot on
Accountability is like kryptonite to my people smh 🤦🏾 these kids need parents and structure don’t blame the education system
Don't let them hear you tell that truth, you'll be called every koon and race traitor in the book.
Start blaming the parents, not the leaders.
This lawyer Disgraceful. Where are the parents.
It’s the grand city of the No-accountability culture
Parenting problem. Lack of morals/values. No fathers. Lack of education (by choice!). Lack of leadership. No accountability. Weak policies. No respect for authority. Lack of prosecution. Too many plea deals. Misplaced priorities. Drug addiction (by choice!). Voting democrat. Parenting problem. Parenting problem. Parenting problem. Parenting problem.
Bring back officer Carl Winslow and the crime will go down!!!
Last year people wanted no police, this year everyone wants more police. You get what you get…
Baltimore is doomed.
Now race hustler Crump weighing in.😂😂😂😂
Who did they vote for? How can a school succeed or fail if the students don't show up and the single parent is absent in their child's life? Any chance Ben Crump can use his ( and BLM's ) $$$ to open a school?
Why would any company want to bring their business to a crime riddled city?
U can't lock nobody up talking about more policing. Shut up old man. The minute you start locking sun men up they'll be back to screaming it's not fair😅
It's just part of culture.
Its not fair for gliders, hombritos, and tigers as well as the suns who are obeying the law to have to deal with this crap.
People will say that it's the parenting and justifiably so but the government is responsible too. Parents cannot corporally discipline their hard-headed children out of fear of going to jail if they do.
How about they get the crime in the city under control, before even thinking about introducing new retailers. This administration has their priorities completely messed up.
Why is no one calling out parents for having children and then not sticking to parenting?
I'm actually surprised they're not blaming Trump.
The city leaders told y'all they care and they are very concerned.
What more do want? WTH
It's not guns it's bad parenting period
Damn right the police abandoned these neighborhoods. The bad element are animals and need to be put down permanently. Sadly, many of the residents in these communities KNOW who the bad elements are and refuse to speak up. Oftentimes, the residents protect these degenerates by adhering to this stop snitching code. Imagine knowing the person who killed your loved ones but you refuse to speak up. You see the person walking freely everyday and you do nothing. Yet, they hold police responsible for not solving the crimes. And if the police finds a culprit, the neighborhoods vilify them and stand with the criminals. Talk about damaged! Let THAT SHIT BURN!
Exactly 🔥🔥🔥
I pray good folks in Baltimore get some peace. 🙏🏽
It's not lack of moral fiber that leads to a rising crime rate among black teens and young black adults. The real reasons are unwed black mother's, having multiple children's with multiple different partners, without moral standards or moral compass.

Hey ! You can’t spit facts like that! They don’t like it !
That guy feels abandoned like his mouth feels abandoned by his teeth.
He's old. Teeth fall out at that age. Not sure why you don't know that.
@@tiffnym 💊 and 💉 and having bad oral hygiene will make them fall out too. Not sure why you don't know that. Guess you've never seen a old person with a full set of their own teeth.
It’s not too many guns it’s too many criminals
"Feel abandoned" That's not right! You asked them to cut the police budget and they did. Now someone will have to spend this money somewhere and they chose Vegas.
Out of Control
What a proud culture.
Ugh. They need to stop surviving so much.
Dear Jimmy Harper. The cops won’t be coming. If not you then a lot of your fellow citizens want the cops gone. There is a price to be paid for everything.
Damn Baltimore city leaders are a joke 😂😂😂😂
Cant have them there if they wanting to defund them Doesn’t make sense
Need that back asap...
It's not the guns. It's parents that failed to educate their children on how to behave in society.
What is the name of the event he keeps saying ? Preet-nence? I’m almost sure that’s not it but I really cannot make out what he said and I have grandparents the speak the same way he does lol.
"Renowned civil rights attorney"-Well-known ambulance chaser.
Yeap, his net worth is $180 million.
It's embarrassing
It's definitely not the school's fault. There's no job
Parents always looking for a scapegoat. Raise your children. The school should be teaching math.
Failing parents. And a violence.
No one could handle it when DJT said the same thing. I’ll admit the President of the us shouldn’t call any city a “shithole” even if it’s a major shithole
People have to work so much they can't even take care of their children. We gotta fix this
as I'm sitting in my Baltimore home watching this like 😒
Baltimore still acting the same after The Wire aired😅
The city has to pay for those cops but they to cheap to give that money
Listen to that thug Scott is like Listen to the school teacher talking to Charlie Brown
Teaching starts in home
Baltimore people should carry guns and do there own secuirty because in law and life you are on your own
Too many thugs out here
Yep...many of them r government officials & politicians.
Failure starts from the top of you want results I don’t get them from the comfort of your porch or your computer
It's the schools, not defunding the police issue. Apple doesn't even fall from the tree in these hoods
Will never get me in Baltimore!!!!!
