February 29

It looks like the two men murdered yesterday were shot on East 25th Street, but one was driven to Hopkins Hospital and left in the car. Assuming the men were murdered, the incident brings the year's murder total to 43. Amazingly, says the CP, no one was murdered last week.

hayesKenneth J. Lighty, 23, is now formally the second federal death-row prisoner in Maryland. Lightly was convicted of abducting and murdering Eric Hayes, left, who was the son of a DC police lieutenant.

Marcus Bell, 22, was arrested for the attempted murder of Craig Bigger, 49.

Is it un-Christian to sell liquor at a party for a porn star? Not necessarily, according to the experts of Modern Drunkard magazine.

43 dead in 58 days... January, usually one of our busiest months, behind us... we're six off last year's pace. That's the problem with drug dealers and psychotic boyfriends nowadays -- no pride in their work.

Is there any conclusion that we can draw to why there were no murders last week? Would looking at other factors or statistics last week, help us to have more weeks without any murders. I guess the way things are going maybe there were just no murders REPORTED, or they just found a good hiding spot for the bodies.

there were a few days where it was really really cold. i know i wouldn't want to go out and kill people in that weather.

Cold weather usually only cuts into street killings. I'm guessing the Local 125 of the Murderers, Assailants, and Rapists Union is holding out for better working conditions.

I kinda like Modern Drunkard. I mean, if one in five residents is gonna be a hardcore addict, at least they could learn to do it with a little panache. If, that is, they could spell panache. We should have a municipal finishing school for scumbags. Anyone remember the archetypal Gentleman Hobo of the earlier 20th Century ?

last weeks murders would have been of this weeks killers, so we are probably looking forward to double number for the next week coming. bagged another 2 yesterday. there is definitely a weather connection to street crime. usually the domestics pick up in bad weather because its too cold to go to the neighborhood bar, and taht is the only other way to shut the broad up
