Blaze: Dante Barksdale, an anti-gun violence activist who worked as the director of Baltimore’s Safe Streets program, is dead after being shot in the head.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Safe Streets outreach workers “mediate disputes in the hopes of de-escalating conflicts.”
“They also lead public education campaigns and work closely with faith-based organizers and community members — and explicitly not with police — to steer young people away from violence,” the paper reports “The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.” more
h/t Not at all confused.
🤭
And no one rioted,
because no one cared.
Why should anyone?
“The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.”

That’s horrible.
Counselors can’t do the jobs of cops.
This is what happens.
“They also lead public education campaigns and work closely with faith-based organizers and community members — and explicitly not with police — to steer young people away from violence,”
…well, THAT didn’t work.
…I did street medicine for 10 years and met a LOT of diverse people.
And I’m sorry, but SOME people are just fucking crazy.
You can’t reason with them, you can’t rationalize with them, you can’t “talk them down”, because they’re crazy.
…at the end of the day, you literally can’t argue with a sick mind.
…guess THIS guy didn’t learn that lesson soon enough, but he’s learned it pretty permanently now.
And not to be a dick to the dead, but he’s probably going to get a LOT of other people killed even from beyond the grave as they try to pursue his no popo policies “in his memory” even though they COMPLETELY misunderstanding human nature.
…but kudos to him for actually putting himself on the line for his stupidity, most Democrats would just get OTHER people killed.
…so RIP, I guess, guy who died in service of a really bad idea he had. At least you had courage to your convictions, even though your basic premise was demonstrably wrong as you yourself just proved…
Black-on-black violence in a Democrat-controlled city?
“Move along, folks. Nothing to see here…”
I saw this comment on another blog so i’m copy and pasting it here.

As I drive through this BLUE city I protest all the time. You can do that too.
Keep a box of crap next to you, fill it with that stuff you can toss slowly out the window as you drive though the city and highways.
Spread it out. Look behind you then toss out those coffee cups, AA batteries, bottles, cans, bottle caps, napkins, whatever crap floats your boat.
Make it look like the 3rd world dump they voted for.
There’s a six figure salary that will be saved for a few weeks anyway.
You got to love the “Post birth assisted abortions” going on in large Democrat cities
demonrats keep sucking gun-c*ntrol ****, something will come out
Anyone who dares to try and improve the situation is fair game to the scum controlling this country. Those in that blighted community that cower in fear have lost someone who offered a thread of hope.
The same can be said for the administration of Trump.
Irony has its deadly side, unfortunately.
Take heart Baltmore, your Governor virtue signaled by getting his vaccination.
Elijah Cummings was the rep for this area and he never lifted a finger to improve things while wearing the facade of a minority hero. Now in their wisdom they rejected Kimberley Klacik for another longtime race hustler scumbag Queezy Mfumey.
Fund the program hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools…The Police!
On a lighter note. Gwyneth Paltrow candle news.

Guess Baltimore didn’t get the memo that Black Lives Matter. Maybe it wasn’t in Ebonics.
“mediate disputes in the hopes of de-escalating conflicts.”
That ‘Hope & Change” bullshit will get you every time.
Especially in a demotrap city.
That’s why most “officials” stay out of housing projects.
izlamo delenda est …
There will be an empty circle for him at the inauguration.
I guess he was going after that “one last gun” that would have made the streets 100% safe.
I worked with a do-gooder that would go with his church to clean lots in the ghetto.
I said “You’re gonna get shot.”
He called me ‘almost racist’.
He got robbed at gun point the next weekend.
Didn’t go back.
By raise of hands, who did NOT see that coming?
Virtue signalling will lead to nothing but being raped or shot.
I swear to God there is something about the color black that attracts lead like a magnet. #leadisracist
LET THAT BE A LESSON!!! 😳
At least he died doing something he loved

Place now smells like the shithouse on a tuna boat
I don’t condone the Mafia but those hoodlums kept the streets safe.
The black gangs keep the areas looking like Dresden. Worse yet, the gang leaders are funneled tax money by the dems to control the areas and keep the votes coming.
“Baltimore ‘Safe Streets’ director fatally shot in the head while visiting housing project
The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.”
I don’t know why I don’t feel any sympathy for “stupid.” I think I’m snickering deep down. Ironic.
Damn, and just this next week he was going to start a chapter in Somalia……..
Darwin Award recipient.
The following assine statement is the reason why the leftist media are considered absolute idiots;
“The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.”
Obviously, it didn’t work for the program director.
Exactly, Supernightshade. Great comments. Can’t talk crazy out of being crazy. Hasn’t helped the left.
“The program has been hailed as one of the city’s most effective crime-fighting tools.”
Propaganda meets reality.
