Yseribus, regarding the crime in Baltimore: Are you kidding me? April Fools Day has passed, my friend. There is nothing to agree or disagree with Joseph, he has statistical sources. Even without sources, you’d be naive to think that aggressive crimes (such as murder, rape, aggravated assault, aggravated robbery, car theft) trumps higher than the national average in a troubled city like Baltimore than in suburban areas like Lakewood and Monsey. You can’t name a single person from Baltimore in prison? I sure can; Tivontre Gatling-Mouzon (first search that comes up on the internet when searching Baltimore crime).
Let me ask you a question. Why do I have many frum friends from Baltimore (currently residing with me in NJJ) who tell me that the Baltimore frum community is very friendly and open but wouldn’t move back there with children nowadays?
Here is the FBI Source Joseph is talking about “Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. is infamous for its very high crime rate, including a violent crime rate that ranks high above the national average. Violent crime spiked in 2015 after the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, 2015, which touched off riots and an increase in murders. The city recorded a total of 344 homicides in 2015, a number second only to the number recorded in 1993 when the population was 100,000 higher” Source: FBI 2015 UCR data
