Two boys were shot in Landsdowne this morning. The gunman remains at large.
A bail hearing is set for today for Teon Hall, the Annapolis man charged in the Ritz Cabaret shooting. According to WBAL (which seems to dish dirt way better than WJZ):
The club's former owner was convicted in 2002 of laundering money and hiring illegal immigrants, mostly Hungarians, as dancers. The club now advertises as "The New Ritz Cabaret" and bills itself as an "upscale gentlemen's club."
Personally, I always liked the Ritz. And I never saw any Hungarians there. I can recognize a Hungarian from a mile away, especially naked.
[UPDATE: Hall was given "no bail" status.]
And lucky for all of us consumerist bastards, Towson Town Center is "reviewing its security." They offer no specifics, of course. I guess they have to look like they're doing something.

Baltimore city is trying to set up cameras to nab illegal dumpers... who for some reason think it's easier to haul a sofa to the park than call 311 or the Salvation Army.
If you're a cop looking for drugs, knocking and immediately barging your ass in is perfectly fine in Hagerstown.

BAL may dish better dirt, but JZ like, totally does more crime reporting.
that you never saw any hungarians there was the essence of the charge.
mr. lu "hired" them as dancers and sent them off to do porn - at least that's the scuttlebut as I remember it - it timed out well with the hungarian porn "actress" explosion a few years back
who knows if it is true - but its a good story...
