It seems the thugs have no problems getting them.

O' Malley was a big police state guy.. He implemented most of the police policies in Baltimore when he was mayor. When he took office they started arresting everyone that scratched their nose the wrong way..

Don't forget the black panthers will join them.

From 2003 - 2012 Baltimore averages 248 murders per year. In 2015 there have been 122 murders to date... Sounds like they are right on track.

black panthers and fruit of islam are seperate groups,, noone said anything about the black panthers

My question IS....Why aren't they working if they are so interested in jobs? Why are they living off of handouts from the government? Why? Explain that...because it IS a problem.

because 'working' isnt like going out and pulling a leaf off of the tree
it is a PROCESS to become employed,,and until the time of such employment,, one is considered

unemployed


since there are hundreds of apps to any given job, that leaves HUNDREDS that have to continue looking ,, ie being 'unemployed' until an EMPLOYER finds them a BEST fit for the opening

It's a PROCESS to become employed called getting up off ones lazy azz and finding a work.

There are also disqualifiers. Felony convictions... Drug use.. lack of basic reading and math skills..

Let us not pretend that the reason people can't get jobs is because there are 100 applications for every one.

I just looked at Indeed and there are 34,700 jobs within 25 miles of Baltimore listed.. I would think that anyone who really really wanted to work could find something if they met the basic hiring standards..

also, if they don't have any ID, they won't be able to get a job either...they can vote, but not get a job...

I guess they haven't given jobs the special status of being considered a 'right'..... it isn't as important as other things like gay marriage and free healthcare..

no kidding, but until one does find an employer who CHOOSES them they remain unemployed,, has nothing to do with them not WANTING a job,,,

any statistics on how many unemployed have records, Or are we just throwing out tangents to further villify and blame the jobless,,?



try as one may to keep disparaging people for daring to not 'have a job',,,, it doesn't change the fact that people have to be the BEST candidate,, and whether they aren't because someone else applying has more impressive credentials or because they have a record,, doesn't change the fact that 'having a job' isn't something that is solely under the control of those seeking work,,

its a decision for employers and they dont hire everyone who applies,,,,

Maybe their not chosen because they come in talking on a cell phone wearing sandels, tatted all over and their pants hangin down around their azz. They're not looking for work they just want a check. Iv'e seen ex cons find jobs when jobs arent plentiful. Sorry, no excuses, you have to want it to get it.

WANTING a job and NEEDING a job are two different things. They don't want a job because they don't NEED a job. They are taken care of by the government....

and maybe they arent chosen because they arent white enough, or male enough, or slim enough , or attractive enough,,,,,

but the point was about whether being unemployed was the same as not wanting to work,,,

the exact type of statement those with little to no experience on assistance continue to take as gospel...


there are any number of assistance programs for people when they are unemployed,, barring disability, few of them contribute enough to replace the way that an income 'takes care' of someones needs

people on assistance still NEED income and people with income, believe it or not, often need assistance

or replace the police with unemployed who are interested in doing their jobs..

oh boo hoo, we cant shoot and killed unarmed people anymore so we just wont do anything,,,,,just as pathetic as wanting 15 dollars an hour to flip a burger,,,,


Since when are the unemployed interested in jobs? How long would that last? I mean, it's an actual JOB.....



um,.. since it takes MONEY to eat and live,, unemployed have been interested in jobs,,,,

what kind of question is that?

Those that need assistance should get it. Problem is, once they get on assistance they don't get off. They find it easier to just not work and live off the assistance mainly.

odds are, there are lazy unemployed, just as likely as there are lazy employed

but its not likely that MOST are unemployed because of a lack of desire for work,,,and its not often that those on assistance find it easier to 'live off of assistance'

Ms, your comments are not in the realm of being rational and of the real world.
