He chooses to break the law. Every time he went to the dirty jail, he chose to go there when he committed the crime. Don't buy into this pity party. This guy would steal your purse if he thought that he could get away with it. These guys have major entitlement issues. They think that they are owed something. They don't think that the laws or society and the county do not apply to them due to them being 'held down'. No one is holding anyone down today. No one. These guys love to paint themselves as victims. They want everything done for them. They will not work for anything. ..Instead of complaining about how dirty the jail is....how about you choose NOT to go to jail. It is really that simple. Don't go to jail and you won't have to deal with the conditions.

Praying for you Brother. When one realizes the power of his mind, and opportunity, and to the wisdom of educated prosperity, they are therefore free to grow to their potential. When we seek the voice that opposes the process to access, we limit the prospects to the best of ourselves. No man is and island, and we must share the individual burdens of progress without the misrepresentation of community genocide. Find your voice that adds to the democracy of participation and contribution, we have suffer enough voluntary disfranchisement. We have Love for you, but I plead you, make a choice that enriches the man in the mirror because many are called, and few are chosen. We need you…”NOW”…..make that choice Brother…the rest of your life is waiting someone different like you…..Be Blessed

One of the ran over my toes, another broke my rear wheel and drove away, another did an illegal turn in front of me then chased me to the next intersection cuz he thought I was at fault. One afternoon, a black teenager jumped out in front of my bike to scare me, then his friend punched me in the face to steal my cellphone. I, with broken glasses, begged them to return the phone. Asked people for help. No one came to my rescue. I just got my degree from Johns Hopkins and am ready to leave forever. I am happy I was not killed in this city.

Cherry Hill and Murphy Homes...do something with your life nake better choices. Your fault if you don't blame whatever you want. You choose to stay somewhere where there isnt anything.

marching with blm in retaliation to the police is the opposite of what this city needs. police brutality affects 1 out of a million, gangs affect probably 1 out of 3 people here.

Not true. Its slowly getting better. They are doing a lot of construction in the city so it's on the up and up. They just need to clean up the ghettos.

So, judging people is wrong, but it is PERFECTLY OKAY for YOU to judge them for being judgmental? Grow a brain. Get a good book on Logical Fallacies, and study it.

So - this guy is angry at how inmates are treated, but assaulted his wife (sorry 'mother of my children')... give me a break. Is she not 'human' too? Logic seems to be nowhere - it's like listening to a 5yo. How sad.

Hey kids. Don't get tattoos on your face, don't join or associate with gang members, and don't sell drugs. There are more ways to get respect than intimidating people or having a gun. Some of these guys need to live in a "third world country" to experience real poverty.

There are studies that indicate the violence in Baltimore for small black children is on par with bad places in Afghanistan or Iraq.
