It's big in Baltimore. In fact, several years ago a couple of ex-cons made a music video about it and had Carmello Anthony (a native baltimoron) in it. He later said he didn't realize what he was doing.

Witness intimidation is a real problem here. Recently two houses have been firebombed b/c the people came forward. Prosecutors are constantly confronted with people refusing to testify b/c they know they won't/can't be protected.

It's easy to say you'd come forward but, in the wrong parts of town, the police can't protect you from the thugs. I know one family that indicated that they would go forward and the next day the family dog was on their doorstop beheaded.

Again, it is mainly in the poorer parts of town where this is going on.
