We’ve written a fair amount about Baltimore, and none of it’s been good. Back in 2015, Baltimore’s mayor said, “We provided spaces for protesters to destroy if they chose to do that” during the Freddie Gray riots. The mayor after that resigned after her children’s book scandal which included a raid on her home by FBI and IRS agents.
And then there was that shocking story from Baltimore Fox affiliate WBBF, which profiled a high school senior who had passed just three classes in four years of school and had a 0.13 grade point average — which put him 62nd in his class of 120 students.
Max Weiss, editor-in-chief of Baltimore Magazine, isn’t about to let anyone badmouth the city and just “slink away quietly,” though.
People who think they're going to badmouth Baltimore and then just slink away quietly. pic.twitter.com/1hTIbc1JsZ

Baltimore is awful. Sorry to have to break it to you.

What does Baltimore excel at other than murders, STDs poverty and illiteracy? I mean, as a Washington DC suburbanite I have to laugh at the "rivalry" between DC and Baltimore… you are both awful to live in.
— Ackchyually Joe (@jmotivator) May 8, 2021
I'd no sooner cheer for a side in the Baltimore/DC rivalry than I'd cheer for one side in a bum fight video… there is just too much sad and wrong no matter how you look at it.

People don't slink away so much as they dodge gunfire and avoid chlamydia.

Baltimore is a perennial member of the top 5 most dangerous cities in the US list. It’s a cesspool.

I will badmouth Baltimore (a pretty crappy town across the board) & stand there proudly with a sh** eating grin.

Cheers to a city built on racism and city corruption/mis management. Detroit says thank you for not being the only cesspool.

The biggest thing in Baltimore are the rats.

Baltimore= Shithole.
I've never seen bigger rats than on the streets of Baltimore.https://t.co/M6iKPlLFXa

WJZ reports:
The number of homicides in Baltimore continues to outpace even last year’s record-breaking rate, numbers released by the city’s police department Wednesday show.
As of Wednesday morning, there have been 134 homicides in the city in 2020, six more than at the same time in 2019.
😂 you couldn’t pay me to live there

I dont understand this fascination people have lately for hatred of the truth.
— HarbingerOfNeanderthals (@Harbinger0fD00M) May 8, 2021
Come for the homicides, stay for the STD’s.

Look hon, you and the rest of the liberal idiots have ruined my hometown and state. You can go fuck yourself
— jojo (@ginger_consult2) May 8, 2021
Wait, are we legitimately making an argument that Baltimore doesn’t suck? lol
— One Horse Pony Man (@WilliamBButtli2) May 8, 2021
I would never make a comment about the 20% poverty rate in Baltimore.
— 🇭 🇺 🇩 🇸 🇴 🇳 (@auteur_theory) May 8, 2021
Or the higher number of homicides in Baltimore compared to NYC. Not the homicide rate. Baltimore has more murders flat out despite having about 1/14th the population.
— Miguelito Loco 🇺🇸 (@loco_miguelito) May 8, 2021
You have more murders in one year than my State has had in the last century. Enjoy your shithole
— kc2fargo (@kc2fargo) May 8, 2021
Baltimore is a hot mess and so is your hair homegirl
— Samantha Rokosovsky (@Samantha_Roee) May 8, 2021
Baltimore is always top 5 for murder and STDs, has the worst education systems in the country, has the lowest public housing grades, and a 23% poverty rate… it's a shithole.
Baltimore Magazine editor's response to these facts: veiled threats. https://t.co/UATjcUFPmT

Let's not play the victim Tim. It's unbecoming. You came for Baltimore (and, oddly, it's health department), it pissed people off. Own it. And now I'm going to stop giving you the thing you crave most: attention.
— Max Weiss (@maxthegirl) May 8, 2021
The way we see it, we’re giving Weiss the attention she asked for.
Where have I ever played the victim…ever?
Hey, I bet your best food issues are way easier to write now that most of your restaurants permanently closed due to your Mayor's banning indoor and outdoor dining longer than all but like 3 places in America… https://t.co/WMi4cFUxdh
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) May 8, 2021
There’s still time to vote in the poll:
POLL TIME: Where would you rather go on vacation?
You can only pick one of these 3 places.
