Policy With a Body Count

Only the center-right media is noticing and writing about failed leftist policies:

• Too many families in two of America’s most dangerous cities — Baltimore and Chicago — will spend this holiday season in hospitals and funeral homes. Last weekend, the two cities saw more than 50 people shot and eight killed.
  
  The violence included two “mass shootings,” defined as a single incident in which more than four people are shot. In Chicago, 13 people were wounded early Sunday morning at a party in the South Side neighborhood of Englewood. Soon after, seven were shot outside a downtown hookah lounge in Baltimore.
  
  Blame the cities’ softness on crime.
  
  Baltimore is the more violent of the two. While Chicago’s violence level remains elevated, with 508 murders through Dec. 22, both homicides and shootings have declined since a 2016 spike. In Baltimore, however, elevated levels of violent crime have continued virtually unabated.

And the connection? Non-existent/failed prosecutions and a dwindling prison population. Go read it all.
