— Sonny Brown, Baltimore
3. “I think the crime and the attacks are a major problem. I don’t think Baltimore is safe. We need to do something about this.”
— Susan Muller, Baltimore
4. “I’m noticing signs of them all the time. They recruit in the middle and high schools. It’s mostly the Bloods and Crips, but Russian groups are growing under the radar.”
