Maryland Democrats propose eliminating a murder felony for anyone under the age of 25
Although rhetorical, what do the following items have in common?
American chattel slavery
Opposition to the Thirteenth Amendment
Jim Crow laws
Literacy tests at the polls
The War on Poverty
Reparations
They’re prominent examples of a longstanding and ongoing war to subjugate the Black community, and (un)coincidentally, the oppressors fall entirely in one political camp — the Democrat party.
Now, thanks to “progressives” cut from the same cloth as men like Preston Brooks, except this time confined working within the boundaries of Maryland, we can expand the above list with this:
Lawmakers in Maryland are considering a new piece of legislation that would literally decriminalize and absolve residents under the age of 25 from being charged with a felony and a myriad of offenses.
Bill HB1180: ‘Criminal Law – Youth Accountability and Safety Act’ says that it would prevent people 25 and under ‘from being convicted of murder in the first degree,’ or ‘the perpetration or attempted perpetration of an additional crime listed under § 2-201(4)(i)-(xii) of the Criminal Law Article.’
Jacob M. Thompson of Wine Press News reported that a state agency released a “Racial Equity Impact Note” to furnish the public with an “analysis” of the measure; per Thompson:
The bill would prohibit an individual under the age of 25 from being convicted of first-degree murder committed in the perpetration of or an attempt to perpetrate various felonies including carjacking, arson, burglary, rape, and various sex offenses.
So why are Democrats sponsoring legislation that would preclude charging those under 25 with first-degree murder so long as a victim died during the alleged commission of a rape or other violent act? Well, duh! Racism and White privilege of course!
Also from the “Equity” note:
This [bill] could allow an individual who may have committed a murder while committing another crime as a juvenile or young adult to have an opportunity to be released at a more mature age and possibly rehabilitate.
Accordingly, this would have a meaningful impact on individuals in this age bracket, particularly Black or African American individuals who generally face arrest for murder at a disproportionately high rate.
Blacks in Maryland do face arrest for murder at a disproportionately high rate, because they commit a disproportionate amount of the murders. But there’s also another “disproportionate” and far more important figure to consider: the victims of these crimes are overwhelmingly Black themselves. (The favored ‘protect the abuser’ routine of the Democrats is rather tired, isn’t it?)
Let’s take a look at rape and carjacking, two of the crimes that would prohibit a first-degree murder charge thanks to the bill in question….
Baltimore seems to be a decent barometer, as it is the most populous city in Maryland; in an official report put out by the Baltimore Police, data showed the victims of rape were largely Black (a rounded 66%). For context, there were 180 cases of reported rape where the victim was Black, while the next closest skin color demographic was the White community, with 78 cases of reported rape; ergo, a Black person in Baltimore is more than twice as likely to be raped as a White person.
State law requires the Maryland Department of State Police’s release of an annual “Uniform Crime Report” and data from recent years exhibited similar disparities: carjacking victims are also a majority Black; numbers can be seen below:
2016: 56%
2017: 56%
2018: 60%
2019: 60%
2020: 58%
Lowering penalties for murdering another during the commission of crimes such as rape and carjacking will only be less of a deterrent to the would-be criminals — and who’s gonna pay the piper for this latest initiative if signed into law? Well, apparently the portion of the Black community that unfortunately finds itself at the receiving end of a rapist or carjacker.
As ridiculous as it sounds, looking at all the data, a bizarre reality set in: Democrat-on-Black is a legitimate crime statistic!
On and on the revolutionaries march….

Philadelphia’s (Fatherless) Black Teen Mob Problem
When families go down, one very specific thing goes up.
Philadelphians, even the crusty sort who inhabit the city’s boozy nightlife circuit, know what to do when they see a squad of black teenagers headed their way: they exit stage left, or take the nearest street away from the advancing squad, because not to do so may result in injury or death.
Some might call this the epitome of racial profiling, but it’s what smart Philadelphians have learned to do.
Sadly, things have gotten this bad in downtown Philadelphia, although you wouldn’t know it if you were to concentrate only on the city’s cultural nightlife, meaning the coming and going of people into theaters, concerts, or even lectures at the historic American Philosophical Society. Life inside these cultural snow globes is champagne-fine until one steps out into the real city to wait for a bus or head to the subway for the trek home. It’s then that one must be on guard against ‘fateful encounters’ such as the one that happened to a 34-year-old woman walking near City Hall in broad daylight on February 23.
This area near City Hall is a busy hub for shoppers, hawker vendors, lawyers, municipal workers and drifting homeless. It’s an area that is so congested there’s a feeling of safety in numbers, the last place you’d expect a 34-year-old woman to be knocked down by (as 6ABC reported), “a group of people” who beat her until she was unconscious.
The “group of people” in question proved not to be Kiwanis Club members, or even Philadelphia Flower Show attendees, but 8 black male and female youths, some of whom were on bikes and looked as young as 11 years old.
The Gateway Pundit published parts of an interview that the victim’s father, Dr. William Corse, gave to WTFX: “The victim, a 34-year-old woman who lives nearby, was on her way to a hair appointment when she was jumped by a group of eight young people.”
Dr. Corse also told FOX 29 that, “Someone tapped her on the shoulder, she turned around, and they smacked her on the head, she went down and her head was stomped on.”
FOX 29 continued: “Police say the group continued to punch and stomp on the victim until she became unconscious, then left her injured on the sidewalk. Dr. Corse, a longtime Chester County doctor, said his daughter suffered a broken orbital bone, widespread bruising, and required stitches.”
Earlier in February, four very young black teens were caught on video beating a 30-year-old woman, attacking her from behind and then stealing her handbag. The victim suffered injuries to her face. The video of that incident, uploaded by Philly Voice, has since been removed, although it was not stated why the video was removed unless someone—Philly Voice or YouTube censors—deemed it potentially dangerous (in terms of racial profiling) because the victim was white and the assailants black.
It is not hard to imagine a super-woke bureaucrat making the decision to remove the video in light of the fact that since there have been numerous attacks by black teens in the city, a visual reminder of the attack borders on the incendiary and “racist.”
Complicating the scenario is the way in which many stories like this are reported. Often local news outlets in Philadelphia do not specify the race of the victim when the (alleged) attackers are black. The race of the victim is only brought to light if these same news outlets happen to interview one of the victim’s family members.
This is what happened in the City Hall attack, where the race of the victim went unmentioned until the victim’s father was interviewed — after the assailants were caught.
Another Philadelphia local news custom is to identify the victim of these attacks as a “person” rather than spell out their sex. The reason for this is unclear unless it has something to do with the latest ‘do’s and don’ts’ in the world of gender ideology.
The largest teen attack in 2022 occurred in February when a group of 150 black teens disrupted Center City businesses, forcing stores to close early.
On March 7, 2023, a group of 15-to-20 black juveniles ransacked a Center City business at 10th and Chestnut Street, attacking an employee while destroying merchandise and stealing hookahs.
Group attacks by young black teens began to surface in 2010, when two city juveniles (pre-teens) assaulted a black woman as she walked through a playground. The pre-teens at that time were playing a game, “Catch and Wreck,” in which girls and boys randomly terrorize people.
Several years ago a flash mob flooded a major Market-Frankford El station in Center City and wound up chasing a white employee of a nearby Dunkin Donuts, causing him to have a fatal heart attack.
One year later in 2011, Metro Philadelphia reported that “Two Teens Suspected in Independence Mall Swarm Attack Surrender.” The attackers in this case were 8th and 9th graders.
In 2011, The New York Times reported that “Flash Mobs Take Violent Turn in Philadelphia.”
The Times reminded readers that Flash Mobs began as an act of performance art before metamorphosing into violent attack squads. Residents of South Street were quoted as saying that they were concerned about the rising numbers of unsupervised children there.
Traditionally, South Street was never an area that attracted minority youth, or even young white teens, but had its roots in the 1960s counterculture: head shops, bistro-style restaurants, art film cinemas, and New Age crystal shops and bookstores filled the area, a far cry from what the street has become today: a magnet for thug subculture denizens.
Recent data from the 6ABC Safety Tracker indicates that assaults have been on the rise in the area near the City Hall attack. In the last 12 months alone, there have been more than 200 attacks, all of them not necessarily from underage teens.
The question is: why are children—black children—coming together in swarms to attack and rob pedestrians, and trash downtown businesses?
Conservative critics point to the high numbers of fatherless/single mother children in black urban communities as proof that liberal policies have never really served black families. Progressives like Barack Obama even agree that absent black fathers continue to be the number one problem in Black America.
“Since the 1960s, liberals have turned us [Black America] into a culture of baby mamas,” black conservative Candace Owens is on record as saying. Before the 1960s, when poverty and racism were by all accounts far worse, the black family was considerably more stable.
Much of the blame can be attributed to a welfare system that offers money to [black] families as long as a man [husband] does not live there. This Faustian bargain is the main reason behind the current statistic that over 75% of black people grew up in one-parent households.
Owens adds: “It was an incentive to be a single mother. It dismissed the role of the black man.”
Ironically, in 1985, a Times piece entitled, “Restoring the Traditional Black Family,” blamed the destruction of the black family on “Self perpetuating culture of the ghetto,” and on the disastrous long-term results of slavery in terms of its links “to modern discrimination and its continuing effects.”
In other words, the trauma of slavery worked its way through the collective DNA of black people, causing fathers to leave families and mothers to have as many babies with other men as possible.
But government cannot become a stand-in parent or a fill-in second spouse.
This idea was easily condemned by one of Philadelphia’s best mayors, Democrat Michael Nutter, a black man, when he scolded liberal social critics for suggesting that race (descending from slaves, etc.) cuts in city services programs and after-school programs were responsible for the rise in black youth group violence.
“I don’t think people should be finding excuses for inappropriate behavior,” Nutter said in 2010. “There is no racial component to stupid behavior, and parents should not be looking to the government to provide entertainment for their children.”
Ex-BLM Activist DuRousseau: San Francisco Reparations Plan ‘Gaslighting’ Black People
Former Black Lives Matter activist Xavier DuRousseau said Wednesday Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle.” said San Francisco’s “unrealistic” reparations plan, saying it’s a way to “gaslight” black Americans.
DuRousseau said, “This is 111 ways to gaslight black Americans into thinking that we need to be dependent on a system of handouts in order to be successful.”
Host Laura Ingraham said, “Well, right now, it seems like the San Francisco board of supervisors and then the task force on reparations in California that they are dangling the prospect of a lot of money and a lot of property and a lot of debt forgiveness. Does this end up blowing up in their faces?”
DuRousseau said, “Absolutely. This is never going to happen It is so unrealistic to think that the average family in San Francisco is going to be able to pay $600,000 extra apiece. When people look at this list of the things that they’re recommending, the most alarming thing for going most is the five million dollars goin g to each black person.”
He added, “It’s disgusting to me that we are more focused on slavery, which ended in 1865, than we’re focused on veterans who are on the streets of San Francisco, homeless and begging for spare change in 2023. That’s where they need to start sending their money.”

WATCH: Houston Woman Paralyzed When Alleged Robber Body Slams Her
A suspect is accused of violently robbing a woman in Houston, Texas, during a February 13 incident that left her paralyzed.
Law enforcement is now asking for help in identifying the suspect who allegedly assaulted the victim, whose name is Nhung Truong, Fox 26 reported Sunday.
She was allegedly attacked by a black man in his 20s, and authorities believe it was a “jugging” incident (a robbery of someone leaving a bank) at a shopping center on the 9800 block of Bellaire.
Prior to the incident, the woman had withdrawn money from a Bank of America, and the suspect is accused of following her over 20 miles to the area where the alleged robbery occurred.
Surveillance video shows a man wearing an orange jacket approach the woman and then grab ahold of her. The woman’s belongings fell on the ground, and he appeared to pick up an envelope before fleeing.
However, as she got up, he turned around and grabbed her again, reportedly body-slamming her onto the ground before snatching other items and running away:
The 44-year-old single mother’s spinal cord was damaged, which left her paralyzed. Now, she must use a wheelchair and rely on help from her three children who are still going to school.
“Jugging” incidents have reportedly become a growing trend in Houston, per Inside Edition.
The outlet shared video footage of another occurrence in Houston when an elderly woman opened her car door, and seconds later, a man exited a nearby vehicle and grabbed her bag.
The woman had reportedly just been at the bank.
During the most recent incident, the woman’s family said approximately $4,300 was taken, and Truong had been saving the money to take a trip to Vietnam to see relatives.
“It’s been really bad. We have to pay rent and stuff and she’s the only one that can work and help us. We don’t know what to do,” Van Duong, her daughter, explained.
In addition, the victim’s mother said Truong’s husband died of cancer several years ago.
The incident happened as a crime wave sweeps across President Joe Biden’s (D) America, an issue Breitbart News has covered extensively.
In October, Gallup reported that “Americans are more likely now than at any time over the past five decades to say there is more crime in their local area than there was a year ago.”
“The 56% of U.S. adults who report an increase in crime where they live marks a five-percentage-point uptick since last year and is the highest by two points in Gallup’s trend dating back to 1972,” the article read.
Doctors have informed Truong’s family she has a 50 percent chance of full recovery, and Van said, “If a miracle happens, then she can walk again.”
