The Cafe' [Think Tank] -
Marilyn Mosby States Attorney of Baltimore City has refused to prosecute crimes that are on the books. According to what I have read she is apt for removal. Why is it that the politicians in Baltimore are not called to the carpet. Elijah Cummings made of $15 Billion disappear then he died. Moreover, both he and his wife lied or perjured themselves when questioned. Where is that money? Clearly there is a two tier justice in this country that is becoming more and more profound.
How is it that Marilyn Mosby can refused to represent that people and keep her job. In my community there is drug deals, prostitution, murder, illegal drag racing, etc. Yet this States Attorney boasts of lowered crime rates. Their is no oversight in this town of the rouge politicians that refuse to protect the people. I wish Marilyn Mosby would move her family into the city were the citizens suffer under her lawless policies. William D Shaffer lived in a rowhome in the west side of the city giving him perspective.
FBI came to investigate Baltimore and said this is one of the worst cities in the country then left. Nothing resolved! The people of the city don't know the law and are not inclined to push for fairness.
The last 50 years of politics/politicians has been a cesspool of murder, greed and corruption. How do we know that Marilyn Mosby is not being paid to back off by the drug dealers, prostitutes (Sex-Traffickers), Tresspassing, (Burglars) and other offenses. We do know she has received money from George Soros. We do know that he is funding a lawless society. On the hills of the riots black on black murders have not slowed. The People need to wake up and demand more from the people that represent them. Notwithstanding, they should not suffer themselves to be controlled by their passions. The politicians know that all they have to say is that something is racist and we get worked up. Meanwhile, the substantial issues are ignored, and aloof. The never get the attention they deserve. Namely, the constitutional breaches. If we force the politicians to adhere to the guides of the constitution there would be no need for special interest, hate crime legislation, or the like everyone should get equal protection under the law.
The jobs holding office were not created by the founding fathers to create an elite class. Those positions were created to establish micro-governances that uphold the laws and to work for and by the people!
The people have to wake up and hold these people accountable!
