http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryla ... story.htmlBaltimore is at 11 days and counting without a homicide.
The streak is the longest since the 2015 unrest that saw a sharp and sustained spike in violence. And it coincides with the start of a 72-hour community-led “ceasefire” that kicked off Feb. 2.
“I am losing my mind thrilled,” said Baltimore Ceasefire organizer Erricka Bridgeford. For days, she said she’s been staying up until midnight, to see if the city has made it through another day without a killing.
“It’s really exciting,” she said. “Baltimore deserves this boost of love.”
In any modern American city, the bar for success is very low. Take in point how people are celebrating in Baltimore because there hasn’t been a murder in the past 11 days.
