Homicides and other types of violent crime are dropping precipitously in the crime-ridden city of Baltimore. It started shortly after voters fired their progressive Soros-backed prosecutor in 2022—and experts say that’s no coincidence.
Baltimore’s homicide rate soared after state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby took office in 2015 on a progressive platform of refusing to prosecute low-level crimes while aggressively charging police officers including those involved in the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died from injuries sustained while in custody. Those officers were ultimately acquitted, but Mosby’s policies still had a chilling effect on the Baltimore Police Department. Arrests plummeted under Mosby’s watch as homicides jumped from an average of 229 per year before she took office to 333 per year during her eight years as state’s attorney, according to figures compiled by the Heritage Foundation.
By July 2022, Baltimore voters had enough. Mosby lost her primary election to her Democratic challenger, Ivan Bates, who pledged to reverse her progressive non-prosecution policies and put in place harsher penalties for repeat violent offenses and illegal gun possession.
By all appearances, it worked.
