Ex-Mayor Renews His Call for Decriminalizing Marijuana in Wake of 300-Plus Killings
University of Baltimore President Kurt L. Schmoke condemned the city's "subculture of violence" on Sunday and reiterated his call for the decriminalization of marijuana and an increase in employment opportunities, as the city's annual homicide total hit 300 for the first time since he was mayor in the 1990s.
Speaking on a panel on WMAR's "Square Off" talk show with Richard Sher, Schmoke called the mounting death toll an "absolute tragedy" and said the community must take a stand against the violence to stop it.
