Nice strawman - all I said was that the "war zone" and "boots-on-the-ground" language is parroting Fox News, I didn't say Baltimore is a perfect place.

But it's NOT just fox rhetoric, that's my point. Just over the weekend somebebody was telling me how they switched their living rooms and dining rooms to avoid bullets on Preston St (down the hill) and their exact words were, "you gotta do what ya gotta do when you live in a warzone. I've heard people living in Carrollton Ridge decribe their neighborhood as a warzone, this is not isolated, I've heard dozens of Baltimore residents describe their neighborhoods as warzones. You saying people living in Baltimore don't have this perspective is just FALSE.
