February 9

Two men were shot in the Southeastern. The man who died robbing the Radio Shack was ID'd as William C. Hooks, 28.

Yes, there it is, the accused murderer's Myspace profile (thanks, anon). Not only does he brag about being shaved from head to toe, but you can navigate there directly by going to http://www.myspace.com/bigthickdude. Ueeeuuuch.

A Baltimore City jury yesterday convicted Martin Michael Morgan, 18, of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The jury deliberated for approximately two days following three days of testimony. Judge Shirley Watts scheduled sentencing for March 29. On March 12, 2004 Morgan shot to death Wade Walker, 32, inside a carryout in the 3700 block of West Belvedere Avenue. A co-defendant in this case, James Murphy, pled guilty January 10, 2005 to second-degree murder and is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence. Morgan is also charged with the attempted first-degree murder of a 16-year old victim who was shot on March 6, 2004 in the 3700 block of Beehler Avenue. That trial is pending.

Charles Dennis, 21, Michael T. Parker, 23, and Donte Miller, 27, have been charged with first-degree murder following the death of Lamont Smith, 21.

Dr. Nelson Hendler of the Mensana clinic in Stevenson is accused of trading pain medication for sex.

Another stickup in Charles Village and plenty of stolen tools and cash in the Messenger crime log.

A new bill would allow testimony about other victims to be admitted in child sex-abuse cases.

dixonThe City Council is considering a bill that would allow people who are arrested but not charged with a crime to have the arrest expunged from their records. In other Council news, the Sun, like, totally busted Sheila Dixon (left, pants on fire not pictured).

Baltimore's new mentoring program called "Winning Teams" will be the subject of a reality show/ documentary filmed by Morgan State students and sponsored by 92Q. You just can't make that kind of thing up. The program will begin with a Talent Showcase at Harlem Park Middle School tonight at 5.

In Rockville/Landover, a 14-year-old and a 15-year-old were abducted and forced to rob banks.

In Annapolis, the death of a newborn boy found in a trash can was ruled a homicide.

Crime-infested heck-holism in Howard County, and the Harton jury is deliberating.

The FBI arrested a member of the Hagerstown police department, Jeffrey Scott Shifler, for making crazed threats via phone and mail to various public officials.

Police are seeking a man who robbed a Provident bank branch inside an Abingdon Wal-Mart.

JZ loves it some police chase action.

How fucking depressing/disgraceful: the White House knew about the levee breaking in New Orleans almost as soon as it happened. (Login: 999999999 password: 999999999)

I think the appropriate term is "hell hole."

Canned Hamm and Martin for Maryland have identified the source of Baltimore's crime problem! It's grenade launchers and other weapons that fire multiple rounds. See http://wbal.com/news/story.asp?articleid=40716

Martin O'Malley claims: "We're becoming a healthier and safer place to live." in a photo-op with Men's Fitness, which thinks Charm City is healthful, even if its occupants are very, very unhealthy.

SafER, or safe? I mean, most anything is better than where we've been. I want to know when we're going to commit to making Baltimore decent.

Galt, I just want to say I love your ranty ways, and I probably would have abandoned this project a long time ago if it wasn't for you reassuring me that someone else cares about making this a decent town.

Hi Insiderout,

I read the Hammy article you mentioned above. The thing that gets me is, if they ban weapons, where do they think that will stop any crime?????? The criminals will still have all they want, and only we the law abiding citizens will be deprived of the chance to defend ourselves. Tell me, if someone enters my home with a gun, or lets say without a gun, but they are on my property with intent to commit a crime, and I shoot them, I have commited murder, and can go to jail, or worse yet... I don't kill them just injure them, they will sue the hell out of me,am correct? I can't believe, Oh, there is that word again "believe". Anyway, I can't understand how these liberal idiots think gun control will keep us safe, criminals get what ever the hell they want!!!! guns, drugs, anything, it's all plentyful here in Charm City. BTW why do they call this place Charm Shity...Oppps slipped there Tee Heee.

Anon,
I was being sarcastic about Hamm and O'Malley talking about a ban on assault weapons. They are not the problem in Baltimore. Hamm even said that the city only seized 22 assault weapons last year, and that most of the gun crimes are committed with other types of weapons. It seems ridiculous that Hamm would spend his time lobbying state legislators for an assault ban when there are so many other more important concerns in the city. It goes further to show how Hamm is merely O'Malley's patsy. O'Malley orchestrated the news conference only for his campaign for Governor - a ban on assault weapons will do little if anything to help Baltimore City. O'Malley stopped caring for the City 2-3 years ago when he decided he wanted to become Governor and Baltimore City residents have felt the ill effects.
