Since the $15 minimum wage campaign started back in 2012 we have seen a total of 30% inflation. So $1 then is $1.30 now. Or $15 then is $20 now.

This should be a fight for a $20 minimum wage indexed to inflation, not $15.

As far as i know cops shot no questions asked to individuals pointing with guns to unarmed people

I've had more people get road rage at me because I was minding my own business and THEY were trying to pull some stupid stunt and it didn't work out. Then suddenly... I was the crazy driver getting threats shouted at me and my windows hit. It's happened more than once.

Local Oyster has a good happy hour!

I’ve driven Baltimore to Detroit and back a few times. Don’t recall any commuter traffic regardless of when I set out

yeah that makes sense, it was on 695. i was just so surprised at how they decided to pick me as the person to brake check, i had only just gotten behind them. it was finally the deciding event that got me to get a dashcam.

Thanks. I really needed you to explain to me that the city has an exceptionally high homicide rate hate on a per capita basis relative to its population - particularly when compared to the rest of the country. I never knew this before today in spite of all the years I've lived here and having seen it myself. You really opened my eyes there.

Now, are you done being disingenuous and pretending that the USA is not an outlier in the world when it comes to gun violence in first world nations?

Side note:

> Baltimore is one of the most murderous cities in the world, surpassing even such well known shitholes as Kingston, Johannesburg and Port Moresby.

Could your dogwhistle be any fucking louder first thing on a damn Monday?

When I was a kid (5-6, and not in Bmore, but we all know this garbage can happen anywhere unfortunately), a classmate's father got shot in the head from a roadrager out of nowhere when he pulled up beside them. They had no other interaction beyond "this guy is pissed about something, has a gun, and will make it someone else's problem". I'm so glad you are safe.

It happened on the interstate so I believe this is still county territory and Maryland state trooper territory. Baltimore City handles everything once you get off 95 and 695.

Especially considering it’s much, much harder to get one here than other states.

Life is a lot cheaper in Baltimore.

Baltimore is one of the most murderous cities in the world, surpassing even such well known crime-ridden shitholes as Kingston, Johannesburg and Port Moresby. Pretending that our violence issues are an overall US issue is dishonest in the extreme.

People that do shit like that should get multiple years in prison for threatening someone with a gun. Also, the gun in question was almost certainly illegal for him to carry.

It's BPD. BCPD is Baltimore County Police.

I think the people that do this are hoping you’ll hit them. It’s happened to me a few times (also not following closely), usually on 695. It’s ridiculous what people try to pull!

Brandishing a firearm during a road rage incident would likely be classified as an intent to frighten assault under the law. The brandishing language is actually included under jury instructions for the crime of using a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence so this scenario would apply to that as well.

They don’t take it seriously with it either. gave them one and they still decided it wasn’t worth pursuing.
