November 10th

I kind of wish I didn't post so much stuff yesterday, because a lot of those stories have been recycled by the news outlets today with nearly no added content. There are several unique stories today though...

A scizophrenic guy that was shot in his Southwest Baltimore home (not far from where 14-year-old Kevin Cooper was killed earlier this year) back in February by a police officer has died as a result of his injuries.

Today's police blotter has some robberies, some guns and drug arrests, two shootings, and a female MICA student being attacked in the vestibule of her Bolton Hill home.

All charges in Baltimore County are being dropped against one of the men accused of dumping a flaming corpse on I-83 last Christmas because authorities believe the actual murder took place in Harrisburg, PA.

One of the bodies found in September as part of the Harford County serial killings has been positively identified as that of a woman that had been missing since June.

A 12-year-old boy is under arrest for setting fire to a vacant house in Mt. Airy.

Another kid is under arrest for setting a bunch of cars on fire in the parking lot of Gaithersburg High School this morning.

A series of bank robberies in PG County have been pulled off with military-style precision. Also in PGC, two chess buddies were found shot to death in a home in Temple Hills, four murder cases this year have been dismissed due to problems with witnesses or evidence, and a mugging-gone-awry turned deadly in Clinton last night, but the Washington Post seems to have temporarily lost its article about that one.

A judge has decided that there is enough evidence to proceed with the prosecution of a guy in Carroll County for sexual abuse dating back to the '70's. You'll need a login and password to read this article.

Did you hear anything about a shooting on Biddle near Univ. of Baltimore last night?

Maryland Ave was closed down but I believe that was prep for the Greek festival. But a musician walking to the lyric said to another one "There was a shooting up on Biddle. Yeah, I walked by and saw the guy all laid out."

But I didn't see any emergency vehicles in the area. Hear anything about that?

wow and i thought that medellin (colombia) was a dangerous city...

burgersub said...

i'm sure medellin is way worse than baltimore.

burgersub said...

shit, maybe not. i couldn't find the murder rate for medellin but according to wikipedia our murder rate is about twice as high as that of bogota. unless i calculated wrong. interesting.

Um, this is why I've been bitching. This city rots. Globally speakung. These people couldn't run a Dairy Queen, let alone a major city.

John Galt said...

Speaking, that is.
