On Wednesday, it was reported by CBS WJZ Baltimore that the Baltimore Mayor, Jack Young, is begging residents not to shoot each other to make room for Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus patients in local hospitals.
“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Mayor Young said. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”
“For those of you who want to continue to shoot and kill people of this city, we’re not going to tolerate it,” Young implored. “We’re going to come after you and we’re going to get you.”
He urged people to put down their guns because “we cannot clog up our hospitals and their beds with people that are being shot senselessly because we’re going to need those beds for people infected with the coronavirus. And it could be your mother, your grandmother or one of your relatives. So take that into consideration.”
