Baltimore Mayor Tries To Singlehandedly Solve Crime Wave By Suggesting Stores Close Early

Baltimore recently instituted a "violence reduction initiative" amid a sharp increase in homicides, and this week, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh did a walk-through in some of the affected neighborhoods, doling out anti-violence advice of her own.

According to the Baltimore Sun, Pugh suggested that, to combat loitering and gang violence, local grocery stories might consider shutting their doors a little earlier.

“What time do you-all close?” the mayor reportedly asked one man at a local shop.

“11:30,” the man replied, according to the Sun.
