UWS Baltimorgue Pick 'm: "Nobody kill anybody" weekend

Post by USN_Hokie »

So, this Friday begins "Nobody Kill Anybody" ceasefire weekend in Baltimore.

What are everyone's picks for the number of hours this 72hr challenge is successful for? Ceasefire begins at 0000 on Friday and ends at 2400 on Sunday.

So far this year, Baltimore has already surpassed the yearly total in 2011 with 208 (known) homicides as of today, or just a hair under 1 per day (.97/day).

I'm going to be optimistic and say it lasts for 26.5hrs. That's time the body is discovered, not estimated time of death (that would complicate things).

Some smartass will pull a trigger at 00:00:01 Friday just for effin' it up's sake.

That thought did pass my mind. If any organizers for this are related to violent folks or people who know violent folks it's almost guaranteed.

I'm confident the thugs and druggies support the cease fire. So in a show of solidarity, they will do some extra killing in the hours before, and spend the weekend killing people in DC or towson.

What would be awesome is to have a Baltimore cease fire and a Palestinian cease fire start at the same time. Then we could have a contest to see who breaks it first.

Based on the logo, I'm assuming only murders with firearms are banned, but it's okay to kill someone using a knife this weekend?

Point of clarification.....

They have to die? So it doesn't count if someone is shot and doesn't die?

What is the ruling on someone who is found shot and dies a few hours later at a hospital? Time of death or time found?

I'm willing to take the over if it's time of death because as a general rule these thugs can't shoot and there is a decent chance that even with a bunch of bullets impacting bodies, none of them are fatal during that 48 hour period. The safest person at a B-more block party is the target of the drive-by.
Looks like the only thing 1984 got wrong was the date.

Good question. I say they have to die - after all, the instructions are "Nobody kill anybody". So, winging/kneecapping folks is permissible under the terms of the ceasefire.

By the same measure, either body found or time of death for gangbangers who don't expire immediately.

Then I'm going long....I'm saying they make it with no deaths from gunfire during that 48 period. Playing the odds on poor marksmanship skills.

You'd have to get odds to get ChiTown in the mix.

Or maybe go 48 hours in BMore / Palestine against 12 hours in the windage city?

Sounds like there might have been another shooting as well. Might be a bit before we have an official time.

Gotta agree with CPA. World is full of A-holes. 30 minutes after midnight is my belief. I wish this whole thing would work.
