The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: I recommend every blue city go woke on crime. You'll love it.

(It's highly, highly, highly unlikely that's all they did).


Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article.

Here, for dimwits who cannot or will not read a short article:

In 2020 Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott created the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, which oversees city agencies and community partners working to reduce violence in the city and works in partnership with the Baltimore Police Department and the State’s Attorney’s Office, utilizes a collaboration between law enforcement, community members, and social services.

The city developed a Summer Youth Engagement Strategy and youth shooting victimizations decreased 66 percent and aggravated assault victimizations dropped 31 percent in 2024.

Safe Streets, which involves community members mediating conflicts in ten zones throughout the city that have historically had high gun violence rates “mediated over 2,300 conflicts” and “hosted 451 community mobilization events with 58,000+ total attendance, and on average, resulted in 32% lower homicide rates in the first four years.

Dope1Going woke on crime means that pregnant women are murdered in their cars.

Huh.

You sure you're not Stephen Miller who just yesterday was whining like you: "We have communities all across this nation that 20 years ago, before the era of open borders, were completely peaceful, completely stable. Look at a place like Minneapolis. Post mass migration they're unsafe, they're violent, you cannot use the public parks."

Well, I looked.

The city have seen crime rates fall significantly, including robberies (down 47%), carjackings (down 40%) and homicides (down 40%).
