Video of Jessamy's speech in front of supporters like Cummings- "Not everybody needs to be in jail"

On Sunday the Baltimore Rowing Club hosted Patricia Jessamy's birthday party. Doni Glover of Bmorenews.com covered the event here.  Investigative Voice also covered the event.  At the party Jessamy gave a speech that you can watch below. In the speech she mentions numerous political people who were at the party including Congressman Elijah Cummings (mentioned at the 1:06 mark) and Lieutenant Governor Brown. This speech really says it all. I suggest you watch the entire thing. At the 5:32 mark in the video she says "you gotta set priorities you gotta identify who goes to jail because not everybody needs to be in jail."

A few hours after the party Johns Hopkins research assistant Stephen Pitcairn was walking home on Saint Paul Street. Pitcairn was approached by two people who ended up robbing him and stabbing him to death. The suspects in his murder are described by the Baltimore Sun this way:

"Lavelva Merritt, 24, and John Alexander Wagner, 34, charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Stephen Pitcairn, have lengthy criminal histories and have been passing through the region's justice system for years, seemingly without repercussion."

Both of these people should have been in jail.

Here is video of the speech:

    She is tough, and she is smart!

    Someone once told me that if you have to tell everyone that you are something... you really aren't.

    She's a legend in her own mind.
    Not that I would ever wish ill on other people - but it makes you sort-of yearn for something like this to happen to someone SHE cares about. And then see how she reacts...

    Isn't the Baltimore Rowing Club a City owned building? It's where R&P's Aquatics division is housed. It doesn't mean politicians can't rent the space there, but it still strikes me as slightly peculiar from a distance somehow. It would certainly look strange if they had been able to rent space at the Benton Building or City Hall.

    Jessamy is so dumb.
    How dumb is she?
    She's so dumb that at the beginning of the second video,
    she thinks she's on live television with Doni Glover
    and tells people to come on down to her party because there's still a couple of hours left....like it's a fracking telethon.

    VOTE THE BUMS OUT! The CityPaper reported that a person facing charges in the City has a 2 in 3 chance of getting the case dismissed. Clearly the folks involved with the Sunday night murder should have been in jail. Criminals in this town know there are rarely consequences for their actions.

    That is a classic picture the two worse States Attorneys in Baltimore seated beside each other. Neither can win a case against criminals in Maryland. One crazy people elevated to the office of Mayor and he allowed 300 murders a year during his term of office. We are worse than Dodge City, Witchita, Tombstone, and all those other old wild west town. Do we have any Earps, Mastersons, to protect the civil loving people. All we have are a bunch of buzzard politicos circling the rampages of a dying stagnated city. The only difference is we are so indifferent we don't even smell the stench of the gangreen.
