Because Americans still believe that you deserve to be poor, that you just didn't work hard enough. Children don't get to choose their parents or their living situation. I'm sympathetic, but it's a problem that's unsolvable until a critical mass of people have their "come to Jesus" moment about poverty in this country. There are no easy fixes, either.

Lol there’s been a poster for a while on a telephone pole on Boston street heading into Canton that says “life’s too short, do the boudoir photo shoot”. Don’t know what the number to call is, it’s on the poster

Now I'm going to have to get over to Highlandtown to see the gingerbread man! Happy holidays--keep spreading those smiles around.

It amazes how people so confidently believe everything that happens in Baltimore exclusively happens in Baltimore on this sub. How naive.

Locks of love sells their wigs to the highest bidder,.. not kids with cancer as they claim

Just be brave and say whatever racist shit you really mean by that.

I don't know who this is But I love ya !!

Pretty sure it’s a bigger area than both upper fells and butchers hill ftr.

I kinda miss those two interior doors they grafted onto the front of the Walgreens after the robbery.

I'm fully aware of the correlation/causation of poverty and crime/violent crime. That isn't going to ever be fixed except by drastic, sweeping reforms of the way the country operates. Until then, it's basically a free-for-all where you can't depend on anyone else to protect you, physically or financially.

Lol what the fuck does this mean

Yes, your sentence explains why, as they are not in fact adults.

Edit: if you downvote this, you don't believe in science/evidence and support systems that make youth offenders more likely to commit future crimes; congrats on being a dumbass that supports creating exactly more of what you're mad about.

How bout addressing the culture of crime in this city

1....2.......3......4.......5......6.......7 there he go

and you grew up completely impoverished in a dangerous ghetto, right?

I'm not justifying it, they should all be punished/rehabbed; but these kids are doing it because they are born into a life with no future.

When I hear people say "no one is forced into it" I hear someone who hasn't got a fucking clue what a hard life is actually like.

The only possible solution to this problem is to address the root causes of crime, especially poverty. Anything else is just reacting to it.

that's actually a pretty good Walgreens. Well stocked, well staffed, and clean. Pharmacy is as wild as the rest.

They did have that hilarious repair job after the ATM robbery.

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth take office.

I was an Uber driver from 2019-2021. I started driving again early in 2022. What caused me to quit was two teens almost carjacked me, they ordered me as an Uber comfort/waited 15 minutes for the ride. When I approached they were wearing black ski masks and then one of the teens pointed to my dash cam and whispered something to the other teen. They cancelled the ride and ate a $16 cancellation fee and went back into the building.

I ubered because my regular job didn’t make enough and I used the Uber money to supplement my grad school tuition costs. It was normally a great job and I even liked driving drunk people because they were so fun to chat with. I’d drive people into West Baltimore that worked in other parts of the city and they were some of the kindest and most genuine people I met.

The teens doing this, really ruin everything for the community. Eventually we will have no Uber drivers. I would have kept driving had I not encountered so many safety issues in Baltimore

Has Uber or Lyft updated their terms of service? You can get deactivated from the platform for even concealed carry

This gives me the willies for some reason. Kids are just so erratic and unpredictable, it’s so hard to gauge. You can sort of plan on what kinds of risks an informed adult will take, and plan accordingly, but teenagers are pure chaos. I used to drive for Uber in Baltimore, I’m sure glad I don’t now.
