[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1386862"] I dunno, man, is Baltimore the only city in MD? The point I was trying to make without getting all verbose with the :censored:, is that violence, crime, and weapons are a facet of daily life in many sections of inner city Baltimore. Do you freak out when you see a hispanic man wielding a chainsaw going to work on the bushes in the cul-de-sac of your suburban neighborhood? It's kind of the same when you've got kids from Druid Hill grow up around their older brothers stashing handguns around their block so they can protect themselves or their business (legal or illegal), when (not IF, but [B]WHEN[/B]) they find themselves needing to. When you're exposed to something day in and day out, it naturally becomes a part of the background. They live with it, get used to it and are no longer frightened by it. That's just what exposure does. Not [B]everybody[/B] is like this in inner-city areas, granted, but this kind of mentality towards gun violence is a lot more prevalent in inner-city Baltimore than it is several counties outward into the suburbs surrounding the city.
