October 5

Remember that fight at the Inner Harbor on July 4? Turns out it was a show of force by the Blood set called the L-Gang, and an officer was struck on the back of the head: a VERY different story than the Police and Mayor's office has been telling the public for four months.

Murders 212 and 213 are unidentified men, one died on the 1200 N. Luzerne Avenue, the other on the 1000 block of Bristol Place.

Danielle Riley, the former Villa Julie student accused of killing her newborn, admitted to second-degree murder in the county yesterday.

fergusonThe widow of Marvin Ferguson (208) talked to Richard Sher. Ferguson was killed by his crazed neighbor Bill Horne on the 3800 block of Lyndale Avenue.

More on the dismissal of Nathan Colbert's murder charges. He was the third officer charged in the Smoot stomping. Kane: officers don't believe in justice, "just us." (groan)

Another officer has been arrested for burning a car for the insurance money. Terre N. Shields, 28, and her special friend Rashad J. Brooks, 29, were arrested on charges that they set her 2002 Acura SUV on fire.

TG no one was killed on 83 by this recidivist drunk-driving football player. Dick.

What's up with Howard County? Domestic violence incidents for one thing.
But it's all relative-- Howard County's population is about 270,000. Baltimore City, pop. 650k, got 26,000 domestic violence calls and arrested 5,300 people for incidents in 2005).

Dept. of Entertainment and Politics:
House Speaker Dennis Hastert: "The people who want to see [the Mark Foley scandal] blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros."
Gingrich: Democrats have "stench of hypocrisy."

Tamara Dobson, aka Cleopatra Jones, ten miles of bad road for every town, has died of MS.

JZ will air the Debate for Governor debate Monday October 16 at 7 p.m., the same night demonstators will be protesting arrest practices at City Hall.

drowsyI just discovered the Baltimore Chronicle. Shouldn't sources this politically biased have some kind of a warning label? Do I need to start putting little flags next to links? Remember kids, you never can tell who's who on the Internets!

spankingmonkeySpekaing of labels, this Examiner self-reportage deserves a little tooting bugle, or maybe a spanked monkey.
Is newspapers reporting on newspapers reporting or blogs reporting about newspapers news? I smell a poll question...

I'm sad that "Cleopatra Jones" died. She wasn't that old. She was a native Baltimorean!

I know. I loved her and always wanted to meet her.
I didn't even know she was sick.

We could use a Cleo around here. Instead, our lady cops are a buncha donut-eaters, who play pyro with their vehicles.

The justice/just us comment originally came from an episode of Homicide.

Very convenient that NO'Malley's debate is simultaneous with the civil rights protest at City Hall. He can have the Po-Po goon squad lock up all his detractors in one fell swoop and the only people inclined to protest the false arrest would be... the ones already in the pokey.

Isn't living in a police state supposed to include low crime ?

thanks for the link to that examiner editorial, or whatever that self-promoting drivel was. fact is, the examiner articles have basically tried to connect clay's death to politics, and that a suicide ruling was little more than a coverup. isn't that what they're really trying to get at? certain articles have been borderline libelous to that extent. but to hatch that conspiracy, you need the complicity of the state medical examiner's office -- which works for Ehrlich!!! -- to seal the deal. does anybody else see the implausibility here? A state office that has made many a controversial ruling on deaths in the past...suddenly, what? they just rollover and dummy up? and their boss is the guy trying to keep his job in the state house, from the challenger coming up from the city. get it?

Puh-lease Gainor. The Examiner is free fishwrap -- yes, you save the 50 cents you have to pay for the Sun's fish wrap. It's hoping to ride Clay's unfortunate suicide into some kind of local credibility. Frankly, it's just shameless and misguided. This s--- is just National Enquirer material and, i respectfully disagree with Gainor, but no, it's not what Baltimore needs.
