The real Baltimore

Donald Trump faces wave of criticism over 'bigoted and racist' attack on Baltimore

Pretty much how Marylanders feel about the place, both those who live in the city and those who don't, and probably not only whites but blacks, too.

Baltimore has the fifth highest murder rate among US cities this year.

It is the ninth most dangerous US city, this year and the 19th poorest.

The beautiful inner harbor is a thin gentrified layer between the bay and dangerous, mostly black slums.

And the Baltimore riots, the response of black pundits and local black authorities, and the final court dispositions of all those absurd prosecutions tell you a whole lot about crime, race, and the power of the rabble in that city.

Still, hardly Cummings' fault.
