![TRASH or PASS! Eminem ( Houdini ) [REACTION!!!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cB1WrZcMwMc/mqdefault.jpg)
Born and raised in Baltimore and when a cop asked me how old son was. I told him that my son was 8. He told me that he would be lockng him up soon, around 11-12. I was floored. My son and his friends were playing cops and robbers and my son was always the cop but a cop would target him?? Nah, not on my watch. I moved to Florida three months later. My son is now 23, live on his own, getting his master's in marine biology, no babies, no felonies!! I got the hell out of there to give my son a chance and I'm glad that I did
Very happy you took ACTION when a child predicts their Death we have to do something. Glad you did!!
I know that’s right!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Its systematic Racial profiling and discrimination thats feeding a fostering the criminal element of the city cause these corrupted police and politicians already instilled in their justice system that every minorities are predeterminined of being criminals they already plotting their downfall the system is corrupt
@@angeluvsvid TRUTH! Systematic racism is the root and primary culprit
Worked in Baltimore City Schools, the worst two years of my life. You expect teachers to work hard when students and parents cuss them out, assault, steal and then complain if the teacher gives the student an accurate grade. Lack of accountability on the parent's part, excuses, excuses, excuses. These kids' minds are destroyed before they even reach middle school except for a handful, the rest will drag them down like crabs in a barrel. Then they look at you strangely because you are not a violent maniac ready to kill at the drop of a dime.
Definitely lack of accountability on the parents part. My parents would've never cussed out a teacher in front of me if there was a need to. Mind you.....my parents have never cussed out a teacher and would only do so if a teacher had hit me. I once saw a parent cuss out a teacher in front of the child. The child was laughing and of course he never respected the teacher after that. The teacher of course ignored the child in class. I would've done the same.
I can definitely relate. I taught in the "high risk" quadrant of Washington, DC 18 years ago. All the kids did was fight and call each other the n word. And, at parent-teacher conference time guess how many parents showed up? Now i understand that parents have to work, but you have to have your priorities straight. Somebody needs to be checkin' up on what your kids are doing or not doing in school!!
Lack of accountability!! Nailed it, should be the poster for the democratic party. Liberal policies of if your a person of color blame everyone, and everything else...but god forbid owning your choices and having accountability for your actions!
Stop voting for democrats
Jesus 😢
My mom moved out of Baltimore in 1984 to save my life we moved to Connecticut. I probably would end up like this young man or I’ll be the killer. Best gift ever I thank her as often as I can for her bravery moving to a strange place and starting over to make sure I have a chance. I am now 53 yrs old I was 13 then.
It’s funny how you guys move near whitey to save yourselves and then complain how mean and racist he is..
Glad it worked out for you. God Bless you and your Mother.
I wish I left Baltimore and stayed away. Even as a minor, I knew there wasn't much here for me. I left Baltimore with my mom the summer of 2007 to move to North Carolina. Unfortunately, my mom was terribly paranoid and was showing signs of mental illness. We eventually returned to Baltimore in mid August 2008. To this day, I kick myself for not getting away from my mother when we lived down in NC. I could've told my old guidance counselor the truth about what was going on at home. I should've went to her myself. I could've went into foster care and gotten away from my mom for good. I probably would've never returned to Baltimore.
Salute to your Queen!
@@jessicasmith5728 wow Jessica I’m so sorry you had to experience that. I pray that you can still leave there to somewhere better.
I am and African American male, and let's face it, this is happening for the most part in our own communities. In Other words there is a lot of BAD!!! parenting going on in our communities. We are blaming everyone else for what our own people are doing.
So you were born in Africa ?
@@devildigger1404 What do you mean by that? He wrote African American.
"A truer word was never spoken".
@@devildigger1404Your response is absolutely ignorant.
Where you born? If you born in America you just american not African American
I was homeless in Baltimore and it was always the young kids 12,13 that you had to fear bc they had a psychopathic mentality. I was stabbed, choked out, set on fire, all for sport, not money or beef, just bc the kids were bored. It's always violence in the young that's the first sign of cultural death.
How are you gonna worry about violence and systemic corruption when it's clear from this video that both proliferate only because they refuse to prosecute *criminals* walking around with TONS of the devil's lettuce???
This doc is pure propaganda.
I blame their moms
Those people and those communities are a lost cause
@@effewe2 I blame their moms too. Kicks at 8 say to you we should leave & that's not a sign from GOD to GTFO then your a terrible mother.
@@houseofhas9355 We need to give parents the right to beat their kids again. Rigid discipline is what kept me alive and safe in South Central LA. I would not dare disobey my dad or mom or grandma. They would beat me in front of the LAPD and of course, the cops loved it. Saved them from beating the shit out of me for getting into trouble.
Stop blaming the city. Blame the culture.
Blame Fox News for being the bastion of misinformation.
Huh? This is part of the problem. Redirect, redirect, redirect. We are talking about violence in a city, that’s killing people, black people mostly, and you want to talk about Fox News?
That’s the same tactic that has been the enable force allowing this situation to continue.
@@austinpatteson2136 Lie.
@@hamilton7798 they don't report white crimes on news media
Fake liberal News is one of the culprits.
I live in Baltimore and I want to counter this narrative that the whole city is a hellscape. I'm a young Black professional living my absolute best life. I met the love of my life at the farmer's market and we started a family. My neighborhood is a beautiful place to be raising kids and enjoying my life, garden, marriage, and life.
Clearly you're not living in the neighborhoods shown in the video. Maybe you're the one living under a rock
@@LuhHou I made my statement to counter the narrative that the whole city is a hellscape in disarray. Hundreds of thousands of people here are living a happy "normal" life. You missed the point.
Anyone watching this who lives in a dangerous city or neighborhood, GET OUT as fast as you can!
Even if life is difficult to begin with, it's better than you being victimised or experiencing your child(ren) being senselessly murdered, and you will have better peace of mind giving them a chance to flourish in a safer environment.
You have the power and the duty to protect you and your loved ones, if it's truly important to you.
Say that again.

Welcome to nc bro!
Lol I left NC for Baltimore silly me
@@leyamarie7666 Giggles. Do you like B-More? I haven't visited in 6 years. Sometimes, I miss the socialization, seafood, entertainment and seeing US constantly.
You are very smart im trying now to leave this shithole.
Word I’m from the 252
I've travelled all over the country, and out of every major city I've ever been in, I've never felt more uneasy than when I was in Baltimore. You can tell you're always being watched...targeted if you will. I worked in construction so I lived out of hotels. I can tell you in Baltimore, unlike any other city, I'd never leave the hotel at night. If I was hungry, I'd either order out or just wait until morning. You could literally hear gunshots every night, and sirens. There is NOTHING inherently different about Baltimore than other cities. there isn't a distinct lack of opportunity compared to other large cities. What you have is a unique cultural problem. The "no snitching" mentality in Baltimore is unlike any other city I've been in. I get the mistrust of police, but if you want to stop burying your kids you have to get together as a community and say enough is enough. There's no pride in shielding absolute piece of shit criminals.
@Szwegorz Gwajn ....a.. and blm.
(clm - criminal lives matter)
Not to mention stop electing incompetent jackasses like Scott, qualification over ethnicity.
Well said!
Philly Chicago close 2nd 3rd in some cases in any order don’t forget Detroit L A New Orleans St. Louis it’s a plague
I don’t think the average iQ there is higher than 85 on average and that’s probably the highest to be truthful. And where you have groups over below average mentality you typically have stark raven violence. It’s a lower iQ trait to solve everything with violence. You won’t tend to find intelligent groups of people handling their problems like that.
Packed up and left west Baltimore (near 10 Hills / Mt. de Sales) back in '03 after our home was broken into for the 2nd. time. Both times my wife & children were at home while I was working downtown. Seeing what's left of the inner harbor and surrounding areas is truly mind blowing. SMH. And just to think that it's only going to get worse.
The Inner Harbor really only served tourists and not Baltimore communities (athough provided some jobs) and much of the failure is the general failing of retail. We'll see what happens when the "new" Inner Harbor is built.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a line as chilling as “some of the kids were educating now, will be some of the funerals we will attend later” especially because these victims are children. RIP to all the victims and I wish love and support for all the families that have lost.
This breaks my heart. As a black woman who lives in Baltimore, I am saddened that I am more afraid of my own people. This hatred and silence HAS to stop! We complain of others hurting us when in reality, we are the only true threat to our community. Change has got to happen, sooner than later. 😢
White liberals will ensure to us continues
Thank you for being honest!!
How popular is your opinion within your community?
Big doubt that will ever happen. Narrative seems to be it's all white peoples fault for the actions of others. I get the past happened and put people in bad situations down the road but some sort of responsibility has to happen. Very unfortunate all around
I never thought people of my race as my people.
There comes a point where you have to start taking responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming someone or something else. Sure there are many causes beyond your control but you can start by being accountable for your actions.
They won’t take accountability. Way too much pride
10,000% agree.
We can make all the laws we want, we can make it illegal to even own a gun, or even ammunition. These bad actors don't care about your laws, they exploit the system.
There needs to be a shift of values at the core of individuals. Otherwise, a lot of major cities will descend fully into chaos and anarchy.
@@ParkerCharlesGabriel "Way too much pride"
What's causing this ?
@@ibabechanel Shame. Excessive pride is shame's cloak.
Atp if we had politicians and others building the city back up give them more jobs and more money and more food and help the crime rate would slow down but they would need to enforce the laws enforcement no matter how hard it gets we need these laws enforced
The boys mom said that’s not the path that you want to go down…
That’s the exact lifestyle and attitude that’s promoted in every rap song that they listen to every single day that gets drilled into their head
Exactly!
He did an armed robbery, a carjacking, and a sexual assault. Everything gets thrown out of court by some bleeding heart judge. He gets a 10 year sentence with 9 suspended for the sex assault. Maybe he got some street justice from one of 👉 HIS victims or the relative from one of his vics.
Baltimore City is dying like so many other cities in the United States and around the world. And the reason why it is dying is that many young parents regardless of how young we were didn't take the time to raise our children. We can blame All of the political leaders including the Mayor and formal Mayors but it's the truth. I coached Little League Baseball for nearly 15 years and what saddens me the most is I can count using both hands going around one time the amount of parent support I received during those years. I am not going to blame the Mayor although I could, the true leaders of this society start right in our homes and it's with the parents. God knows I made my share of mistakes but I am not going to transfer my demons onto others. Let us ALL take responsibility.
I WISH I COULD MAKE YOUR COMMENT GO VIRAL!!! YOU ARE 1,000% RIGHT AS RICE✊🏾🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾
PEACE. I noticed the decline of parent participation, also. "Babies having Babies". Many of the young parents are incapable of being parents. My parents were teens when I was born [1964]. Fortunately, my Great/Grand parents taught them how to raise me. Back then, our communities enforced marriage. Yes @ take responsibility and be accountable! Gratitude for sharing.
AMEN!
Maybe some people should start after school program for the children in the city of Baltimore . For one thing got to start when the children are very young before there friend can influence them .
America is crumbling it's already done it's only a matter of time before before all this ends.
It’s not the schools job to raise your children. My hearts go out to the families who have suffered such great and tragic loss
Yep not the school or government that's what people don't understand..
No it's not. The parents have to take accountability. But the school system has to teach these children. They are so busy trying to feed your children, cloth your children and babysit your children, they are forgetting their purpose, which is to EDUCATE. If we don't educate our children then the same vicious cycle will keep repeating itself. A good education is the best way to fight poverty. This school system needs to be overhauled and reimagined since that is what we are doing with everything else now a days. We also need to get these babies out of homes with drug problems. Drugs are like a virus, it spreads and affect everyone in the home.
@@plasmaboi8885 school has to give knowledge like math, chemistry, history but not educate your kids how to be kind, humane and so on - it is a parents duty. When parents fail to raise humans we end up having this shit.
Seriously, you could put these same kids to the best school in the country and all that would happen is they would transform that school into shit. Take the people of Baltimore and put them in a utopia, and they will transform it into a dangerous, disgusting, bleak, hopeless, dark concrete jungle, all in a week.
It is their job to teach
3 kids with 3 different men out of wedlock, this is the root of the issue
Jamal, if you are watching this, know that I still recall our conversation on that bench outside the hotel down by the harbor. You dreamed of having a farm. We talked about what you would need to do to realize your dream. I think about you from time to time and pray you are doing well. It has been about ten years since we talked, me an older white lady from Montana and you a young black man with a cracked phone. Our differences in geography, age, and race didn’t matter. Peace Jamal, I hope you are prospering.
When I child tells you something like" I know I'm going to die", you must act immediately.
Maybe he thought the father of the girl he raped was gonna kill him….
NM It was the ghetto. So it is highly unlikely she had a father.
Exactly she should have left smh
Exactly. I wish the mother was more proactive. It’s a shame bc she don’t have the extended supports .
If you don't have resources to move immediately you're stuck.
So sad it's disgusting that these people don't value human life. My 22 year old daughter was murdered by an ex-boyfriend and my mother was killed in a hit and run 20 years ago I'm have buried so many of my family. This stuff is evil, I don't understand this world we live on.
Very sorry for your loss. May they rest in peace.
The people killing it are the same people you can get cancelled for criticizing.
The stories of each of these young men are tragic, but the seed that grew into their failed lives isn't the city they grew up in or the schools they attended (though they certainly are major factors) it's the home they grew up in. Where are their fathers? Why did their mothers start a family without a stable life of their own?
That's what I noticed in each story.
Because the government dangles the money for them them to do it in front of them. So why not? Creating fatherless children is a government program. It's called progressivism. You know, because it's progress.
Many fathers are incarcerated
No male role models, no parenting, blame the system, blame somebody else, always the same
The do have male role models
so what you mean 🎃
They just got the wrong darn role models ,models of violence and corruption in the streets, alleys ways and even some homes 🤔🎃🎃🙂🎃🎃🤔
Yes you can’t discipline your children anymore
Never ending cycle.
No fathers or father figure in the home.
@@powerplay4real174 What DO you mean?
Sentences have verbs. Many people spent thousands of dollars on you, personally, to become educated and you’re showing us that we would have been better off setting that money on fire for warmth.
I love Maryland I left 14 tears ago, the problem with Maryland is that the people never change, I always come to visit because I still have family there but it seems like the state and the people are stuck in a Time Warp.
Have u thought about whether u go 2 heaven or hell after this life? Cuz life is short & fragile. Look at how many peeps die each day...but there's hope...
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
God does like you. You have to reach our to Him by prayers 🙏 ❤️ ♥️. Let Him know your issues 🙏 He is listening to you.
Youre right. No progress
Same. From PG County and visiting home is unnerving.
‘For what?’ is what I ask myself.
You mean the entire state of Maryland? Maryland is progressive ("people never change"?) compared to many other areas of the country. Plenty of great areas of Maryland.
The sad truth is the mother is a failure of a parent. She knowly brought 6 children into abstract poverty
A mother can't get pregnant alone. That same father or fathers have 6 other children with 6 other women.
Nice documentary. If there was a part2 about Baltimore's financial situation that would be helpful as well
I am from Baltimore born and raised! Trust me it is unbearable losing family and friends to safety issues and insecurity in the city 🌃! I am proud that I have a strong family support and structure that keep me safe and efficiently educated for 25 years of my life! Daniels Geographic Channel

I grew up on Baltimore. I left Baltimore in 2004 and moved to Westminster, and left Maryland altogether in 2006. I blame soft on crime do nothing corrupt politicians and some parents who don't raise their kids right just because they don't care.
The trouble with most parents today is they want to be popular with their kids rather than being parents and setting rules and a sense of direction for these kids. This is a problem in both urban and suburban areas.

MD has been destroyed by Democrats, it's overpriced and violent. Even the small towns and suburbs have gone downhill with violence and drugs. I'm glad that I left about 18 years ago.
@@r.pres.4121 The worst are those who profess they are FRIENDS with their children...WTF?

The first kid, had a supportive mom that wanted the best for her son, that gave him an opportunity to have a better life, and to get out of the violent environment he was in, but he chose death because he was friends with the devil, and the devil took his soul. Sad for the mother.
My heart breaks. May their souls rest in peace. May their families have some type of peace.
Baltimore native. It has nothing to do with the city or education, it's the culture in these neighborhoods. Looked up my 4 childhood friends from Baltimore a while ago, 3 died from drug overdoses and the 4th is alive but was locked up for murder.
Correct: There is no gun violence, it's violent men. The schools have not failed, the PARENTS (especially the MEN) have failed. I know because I grew up in a Baltimore ghetto. The behavior of NOT taking responsibility of one's own action is a plague to crime ridden neighborhoods in Baltimore. This documentary blames the WRONG crowd and encourages NON-responsibility and a new cycle begins, No surprise. Same thing every year. Terrible.
@@eastcoastenergy you cant blame the parents either. I doubt the parents tell their children to go out and murder people and commit crimes. In the eyes of God every human is responsible for his or her own crimes and sins once the attain puberty. Once you attain puberty you consciously know right from wrong. stop blaming the parents
@@kzariuscook1275 absolutely it’s the parents. Why are your kids gravitating towards that instead of college and achievement?
You have multiple single mothers in the comments section saying this as well
@kzarius cook Parents are responsible for bringing them into the world. They were likely brought into similar situations so I understand your sympathy but you cannot excuse parents for the upbringing of their children.
Some these kids are just wanna be fukin followers & wasn’t even raised like that & came from beautiful homes & was well raised
They just be following behind their friends
Money see monkey do & I hope they realize being a junkie & gettin high is not cool before it’s too late . Kids can be very hard headed
Like my grandmother used to tell me when I was a kid a hard head make a soft azz & it’s more dangerous now than when I was a kid growing up & yes this city got worse & worse
I’m here from Los Angeles & I’ve never seen such strife in a city. The way black men hang out in front of stores & shoot at each is alarming.

People make up a community. The values of those people are reflected in that community. A community that does not value education will have sub par schools. A community that openly brags about violent acts will not be safe. A community that will not stand up for justice deserves what it gets. You built this place, now live in it.
Terrible parenting is the issue. Those females should be ashamed of themselves for having a bunch of kids in that environment outside of a marriage.
As someone who’s not from Baltimore but now lives here it’s a culture problem. Yes. It is extremely dirty, built up frustration of people in the city, & lots of jealous/envy natured people. It’s sad. Baltimore has so much potential - but the people of this place who’s a native here don’t feel that way. I wonder why?
Systematic racism

I left Baltimore in 2010 and never looked back. That wretched City died a long time ago; it's simply a Zombie of violence, severe drug abuse, horrific public education system, corrupt law enforcement and City Council and a general disregard for anybody's life. Whenever I visit, it's all I can manage at day #2 to keep from leaving. I'm glad I left; and I fully recommend anybody that desires to leave - DO IT, you won't regret it.

I never lived in Baltimore but I'm from Philadelphia and I currently live down the Washington DC area.
I would advise you not even visiting Baltimore. I saw a story was it last year or a couple years a guy who moved away from Philadelphia but went back to Philadelphia just to visit some family and he ended up getting murdered for no reason.
That along with many other reasons is why I will never step foot in Philadelphia ever. Also the majority of my close family members don't live in Philadelphia anymore like my mom brothers cousins aunts so have no reason to go back to that hell hole of a place.
@@pp3k3jamail EXACTLY 💯
I graduated from TU in 1975, I taught at CCB. Being part of Mayor Shaeffer's Baltimore Renaissance, it was an exciting time, for the development of the Inner Harbor. I left Baltimore in 1992, after a second friend was killed by gun violence. I have a bunch of friends there. They avoid downtown and find their suburban neighborhoods are also no longer safe. It is a shame.
Baltimore is an eye opening city humbling
And yet also quite unique
It’s hard to explain
I left Baltimore thirty years ago when my daughter was born in St.Agnes hospital, was the best thing I ever did for my child! I now wouldn't even go through the city, where I used to work and play until I was 30, unless I absolutely have to! God bless the good people who have to live there!💒💒💒
As a man born and raised in Baltimore, it breaks my heart to see my city known more for its deaths, than the remarkable lives which come from within. At age 36, I have exceeded the life expectancy for the average black man born in this city, which is pathetic. I feel blessed to have never been absorbed by the demons which seem to run rampant in Baltimore, and unlike many, nonetheless still feel proud to call it my home. For real change to occur, there needs to be a comprehensive destruction of the culture of corruption in city government and its institutions in general. Without those changes, nothing else will !

This is so sad to watch and I accidentally stumbled on it just doing my laundry and it popped up and I wanted to say I feel so bad for these people living in my home state I am from the city I was born there. My whole family is lived right there by the old southern high school that is now condos spent many many days upon Federal Hill Park, I wish these folks could know the Baltimore that I remember from the 70s and 80s. This is hard to see and so sad to know.
Philly and Baltimore I feel for yall
As A Man born and raised in Baltimore, I can agree that the Democrats that have ran this city is at fault for misuse of tax dollars and a few other things. But they aren't the ones having children in the hood without fathers. No child should ever have to tell their mother they are scared to go outside. Or have no choice but to go to these Ancient Inner city schools. Too many women are selfishly having kids in bad environments, versus getting out first and breaking the cycle. Personal Accountability is everything.
You said that!!! I'm on the fence about what a person can and cannot do. Only because I understand NOT EVERYONE has the mental capacity to "change"(breaking the cycle)... jus my opinion....
Uhm. The women also didn't climb on top of themselves and get pregnant
@@jenniferfravel4355 tell his a$$
Women can only get pregnant once a year while 1 man can have multiple babies a year. Y'all dudes need to wrap it up and stop blaming women when y'all he the ones leaving y'all kids and be creating broken homes.

Baltimore is already dead. Tourists don’t come here anymore. Locals are scared even to hang out in their front porches it makes me so sad. 300 people or more dying is NOT normal. No respect for human decency.
The Spirit of the People of Baltimore and every other Inner City like it is not dead, it's been put to sleep. We were not born/created to be the people we have become, It's time we awaken with Truth for Truth (not government) will make Us Free!
Over 1500 murder a year in Jamaica compare to 300 and that don't stop tourists. Jamaica would be happy to see 300 murders and that's a way smaller place than Baltimore.
@@Tinbeef22 1 is too many!!! Until we get to know that our Spiritual (not religious) Being is the same as the next individual we will continue the self hatred against our Brothers and Sisters for to KNOW THY SPIRITUAL SELF is to know GOD. There are hundreds if not thousands of religions that causes division and hatred.
Ex: Christians vs Muslims
Catholics vs Protestants
and so on and so on...
Most religions say they believe there is one God but that God is only their God and every other religion is wrong. We all have but one Sun of God.

I traveled to Baltimore and wondered streets were quiet and people rarely seen
Went to Lexington without knowing that's dangerous area later, thank Yeshua haMasiach I'm safe
I thought black lies matter we’re gonna sort these things out, then I remembered , they’re just spending the money on big houses..
I grew up in Washington DC. Baltimore was a city that seemed to be always on the ropes outside of the inner harbor area. I had to work there for a few weeks in 1999 it was just depressing.
I moved my family to Georgia in 2004, I couldn’t risk them being in that environment any longer. I moved to the county, had my kids in private school, we had good jobs… but it still wasn’t enough. I’m thankful for the change in environment for my kids, and myself. I’ve visited several times over the years, and every trip leaves me more disheartened regarding the future of Baltimore.

My whole family is from Baltimore and none of us live there anymore. Everyone moved out of the city. Most ppl don't even know I'm originally from Baltimore.

It’s not the school system. It’s not the government. It’s THE CULTURE THAT IS BEING CREATED. Where are the fathers. Why are we having babies in these neighborhoods. I live in a town that is predominantly Black and Hispanic and the things that we are creating in our neighborhoods is outrageous. A predominantly white town just five minutes from me doesn’t deal with any of this nonsense. The kids are living a completely different life. TheyI got in an argument with black women who said I was elitist because I don’t think you should have kids you can’t afford to take care of. That a nuclear family gives (especially black boys) the best chance for a good future and protection. I’m tired of the black community begging for someone to save them. Every time I see these stories WHERE ARE THE FATHERS. This blonde woman can read her poetry all she wants but the truth of the matter is the culture we’ve created in our homes and neighborhoods has become a cage.
I’m sorry but it starts at home! If you have a stable home this doesn’t happen. We need to start having better relationships
Tell that to the parents who children are apart of the opioid crisis and raised their kids with both parents in good neighborhoods.... Yes, a strong family foundation is good to have but it's not the know all be all. Now, imagine bringing children up in a marginalized community...
I used to believe that as well, but I've seen way too many parents give their kids life, home, education and hearts desire, only to see those same kids turn into the most ungrateful, immoral, entitled horrors you've ever seen. It's the surrounding culture , the school's can't fail a kid who won't even try or doesn't value what it has to offer. It's remarkable that our ancestors, slaves, were able to learn under the most horrific and oppressive conditions imaginable and we complain about what we don't have instead of using what we do have, an opportunity. No easy solution in sight, everyone has to be willing to do their part, and that includes the children committing these awful crimes. Stop it!

@@godsamazing2090 Right! I'm from MD and have live in B-More and the county. Been in Long Island, NY since 2014.

When they receive their social security [the 1st and 3rd monthly], the police/ambulance sirens are constant. Also, fire dept from meth houses catching fire.

Once had a friend together in boot camp at Fort Jackson, he always telling how both his uncle and brother were killed because of gang, and his only way to move out DMV was by joining the Army, he is now Fort Riley in Kansas.
A lot of us poor kids did that. If we got killed, we probably would have been killed in Baltimore anyway. And if we lived, we had some skills and the means to start our own lives in decent ways and in decent places. No one is trapped there.
I joined to escape Baltimore
The military is actually a good option for many - see something different, gain skills, meet other people, exposed to other ideas. Not everyone is in combat.
Absolute hopelessness. That's what I felt while watching this. 😢
And it’s ten times worse now…..
Its the parents not giving a shit about their kids. Full stop. I have a daughter and every step of the way its been a joy. Her smile, laughter, and anytime she says "daddy" and points at something. Some people just dont give a shit about their kids and it shows in the outcomes. Ive lived in MD but have only been to Baltimore twice. I like to fully explore states Im in but eeffffff that containment zone.
When drug dealers getting arrested turn out in BLM riots you know its a lost cause. Because it always results in cut funding. In high crime areas.
I’m not even from Baltimore and I can still feel the pain.

Thank God I don't live there. There's so much crime there. It's like another version of Chicago

Baltimore was a great city. Unfortunately, crime has driven businesses and people out. There is no hope in sight with the current lack of leadership. You can’t argue with 300 plus murders a year. The situation is very sad.
In 1950, it was one of the greatest cities in America
CD. Grew up in baltimore city, currently live in b county. Baltimore was a great city growing up and today it's heartbreaking what has happened. Their is alot to blame for crumbling of city. For instance children have no respect for anyone. Work in the city and kids walk right out in front of car and dare you to hit them. Parents are kids having kids. I'm sorry your young child shouldn't be out all hours of the nite. Use to be fist fights now it's the attitude I'll shoot you and, People have no remorse about doing this. Politicians at odds with each other blaming each other and never taking responsibility for their own actions. Even though their are good in police department there is also alot of police corruption. Drugs everywhere, can't even go to the gas station without a crackhead bumming money. over 300 hundred murders a year ,and sadley already 29 murders. It's alot to blame and I could go on and on.
I still feel outsiders Are doing This to make the leadership Look bad and to blame the citizens who are mainly melanated beings. I could be wrong but I still feel outsiders Are to blame. Where are all the cameras That could be identifying ALL THESE random frequent Shooters?

As a kid I latched on to the Baltimore Orioles, Colts and Bullets. As an adult I traveled into the Inner Harbor area and enjoyed Orioles games, crab cakes and ferry rides to Fells Point. Preakness races hype and even watching the races at Pimlico. I knew it was rough in some places. From NYC myself I knew I had to be aware of where I was. I grew up in NYC projects so I know about poor and crime. I've walked past gangs wondering if it was my day. Screams in the night and gun shots. Apartment robbery. I always wished better for Baltimore. Pray for peace and happiness for the people that live there.
This program is such a great example about how mainstream network produced shows are such crap now.
I have lived in almost every area of Baltimore city most of my entire life. You really don't know how bad it is until you move away and realize life is different. My first night living in the County I couldn't sleep because it was so quiet. I really became adapted to hearing gun shots, sirens, ambulance and choppers. Baltimore city is terrible and very dangerous. I went back to one of my old neighborhoods and it looked like a 3rd world country.
Let's talk about the schools. I worked for Baltimore city schools back in early 2000 and it's still the same. No heat or air and lack of parental involvement. The schools are like jails and I would show up late just to be fired but they never let me go so I resigned after I was locked in the gym with a kid carrying a knife. One 7th grader was sent to school to sell drugs for his grandmother and this was middle school. (Highlandtown)
Political corruption is by far the worst in Baltimore city. Everyone is dirty. From city hall to the police leutinents to the school board. If you are a Democrat you have a way to win in Baltimore EASY. they pass down the same poverty politics while they rob the city blind. In 2015 billions of dollars came from the federal government that went into the pockets of corruption. The people are lazy voters who allow this to happen. It's your own people who run Baltimore keeping it poor. Baltimore had a bill back in the 80's to get rid of squeegee kids on the corner and they dropped it...... now look.
I really don't know how I survived living in the city as my family was in a shoot out at the age of 13. My Dad protected us after my mom and brother were assaulted. There is so much to be said but my final word is this.
Change your way of thinking. Visit other areas and work hard to become better and you will get better. My greatest fear is to go back and that I will die working before I live back in Baltimore city.
I agree 👍. Good thang u grind hard & consistent. Big up 2 ya!
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.

Moved to VA in 2000 and although life has had it's ups and downs, I have never even Considered moving back. And tbh, I realized right after relocating and coming back to visit that whenever I stay there for too long I start to feel depressed. Everytime. Smh it hurts to know my city has such a demonic spirit hovering over it. I pray for my loved ones EVERYDAY.
That's exactly how I feel! I've moved away 5 years ago but whenever I go back to visit I get so depressed. I can't help it.
That is something to consider. Evil has taken over Baltimore. MUST Find a way to change That. It May take a collective to rid That city of that existence.. thanks for sharing this information.
Facts. Every time I go back I get the depressed vibe.
I'm in VA too. moved from Pittsburgh (Pgh). used to go back when Pgh was depressed. in the 80's.

There is a woodland area over there that has the name of baltamore's unofficial open air cemetery as around 89 bodies have been found dumped there since the 70's and there's even more remains that are still lost in those woods. In 2015 a young man was taken there, beaten and set on fire, his attackers then threw his body down into a sewer hole. To my knowledge his killers haven't been found.
Four days after moving to Baltimore, I asked myself "does the government know about this place"?
Yes the city government created and enabled it. Democrats mainly....
Why would you move there 😅😅😅
Where is Black Lives Matter in all this. We need to teach our own children and raise them in a Godly environment. Poverty breath corruption and corruption breath violence.

I'm from Park Heights & Rogers Ave. I moved out of Baltimore back in 01'. I've lost so many friends & so many over senseless violence. I go back home often and the city has gotten so much worse. I don't know what we can do but we have to so something.
Park Heights...wow...In 1993, we were doing some early morning shopping there and as we exited the store, gun shots rang out! Shit! "Duck and roll" under a car! Man, that is no way to LIVE. In 2014, I was visiting a cousin for a week on Cottage Ave-it's near destitute [no industry, jobs] and constant drug sales $ income]. Dudes cleaning guns with children running around! It's near impossible to thrive. Glad you're in a safer living environment!
Sad beyond words. I loved Baltimore, owned a home there, worked there, left the city and state in '96 because of everything in this story. Its obvious I still care because here I am watching this. The feeling of helplessness! This video leaves me so sad. God bless you all that are stuck there. I pray for your health, safety and happiness.
Baltimore is a cesspool of ignorant blacks
Police don't protect the way people think they do!

I spent a year backpacking across America. When we arrived in Baltimore we stayed for about 12 hours and got the next Greyhound out. It was horrible..worse than New Orleans, Cleveland or Detroit...and they were terrible too.
This is so disappointing. The last time I was in Baltimore it was a beautiful seaside fishing village in West Cork.
I was born and raised in one of the worst neighborhoods in Baltimore. I always thank God that I made it out alive.
I hate to say it but there is nothing that can be done to help the city.

This is so extremely sad! I was born and raised in Baltimore off Elton Ave. My grandparents worked their but off to by the house I grew up in and my family grew up in. It’s sad that when I moved out of state my family was harassed at my home off Elton Ave. They had no choice but to sell my family’s home…that was supposed to be mine! My family was forced out of our home due to violence, bullying and horrible harassment! I pray for those that live in Baltimore, I pray for change!!
That's called white flight. Somehow white people are called racist for this lol. No, we choose to leave because of all the things you just mentioned.
Very Sad, Shouldn't be such a thing of what they went thur and only trying to live in peace!
Our world's greatest and richest nation in history, uh, America, is the most hostile, narcisistic, and warlike culture in the history of humanity. I'm sorry you're going through all the setbacks from it too. Remember how we were all told that diversity is our greatest strength and how we go lied to about almost everything else too? No one knows what to do such as unite the fight against tyranny or just die as indiivduals, but the thing that destroyed America is it's corrupted debt based system and lack of a sense of unity and community. I dunno...
haha, admit what happened??? bet you wont!
It’s sad, the mother sent her son to Virginia to protect him, but in many cases the entire family has to move out of the city that was the temptation of the sons desire- the mother did her best- many don’t even make the effort to do that, we really in many cases become a victim of our environment, sending heartfelt condolences to the mother ❤️🕊🕊🕊🕊❤️🕊

I don't blame you. I briefly lived in NC between 2007 and 2008. Been back in Maryland for about 13 years now. Lived in and around Baltimore County for most of my childhood. Moved back to the 21227 zip code to live with my dad for over 10 years now. Although I'm in Lansdowne, it's almost as bad as South Baltimore. Part of the zip code's in the city too. When I get enough money, I'm gonna get as far away from Baltimore as I possibly can. For years crime from Baltimore City has spread to areas of the county. The only difference is that most of the time criminals from the city get prosecuted if they commit a crime in Baltimore County or elsewhere.

Baltimore City's been in decay for years. The Freddie Gray riots just made everything worse. Although I lived in Baltimore County for most of my childhood, I can't count how many times I've passed boarded up buildings among other things when visiting my mother's relatives in the city. The city has had a problem with drugs, gangs and violence for years. IMO, it's gotten so bad that a lot of crime from the city has spread to parts of Baltimore County as well. I myself have lived in Baltimore County for most of my childhood. I've been back in MD for 13 years. When I get myself together, I'm gonna get as far away from Baltimore as I possibly can.

Grew up and lived in bmore 26 years. The best thing I ever did was leave. I'm so thankful I made it out. The urban culture is a one way ticket to jail or death.
The problem is drugs. You can trace the violence to drugs most of the time. I saw a guy get almost beaten to death with a baseball ball bat because he owed $10. Crazier thing was the guy had the 10 bucks but didn't want to give it up....i saw him at the dope spot right after, spending the money he just took a beating for.

We stayed in the beautiful harbor area of Baltimore for two weeks while my husband had work there. Beautiful hotels, restaurants and charming little shops. But as two recovering addicts the drive in was all too familiar. But even for us we were absolutely shocked at how blatant and prevalent the buying and selling of drugs were in the streets. Thank god we have some years clean under our belts bc idk if we would of made it out if not. I can’t imagine the struggle of those who live there to get clean, to not make a quick buck. It’s got to be so difficult. They have to crack down on the open air drug market, of course, but also put funding into community resources and support! Education!! Mental health counseling, and intervention for at risk children/teens. We have to tackle the problem from the beginning…BC clearly trying to fix it at the end isn’t working!
Been in Baltimore all my life. Born in Cherry Hill. Raised in West Baltimore. When I had my children I moved to the outskirts of Baltimore. After someone broke in my home, I moved to Baltimore county. Have been there for the last 32 years. I hear so much negativity about Baltimore and it may be dying but it's my town.
