The Hampden Community Council has rejected the proposed site for the city's needle exchange program. Also in the Messenger, the North Balto. Crime Log is a huge collection of burglaries and robberies, plus a shooting on Greenmount.
Some car vandals are terrorizing Dundalk.
A guy was stabbed to death yesterday in Elkridge. This is the fifth murder this year in Howard County, if you want to count Anber Gumercindo Juarez-Sanchez, who was actually killed last year and only found this year, and may have even been killed somewhere else, and Antonio Orozco Martinez, who also may have been killed somewhere else.
There is way more crime news for Anne Arundel County than for Baltimore:
-An insurance claims adjuster admitted to stealing over $100,000 from Nationwide Insurance
-Here's a more in-depth article on yesterday's attempted bath-tub murder in Laurel.
-Burglary, burglary, robbery, drug arrest, assault, assault, etc in Annapolis.
-A Pasadena man is being honored for thwarting a jewelry store robbery back in October.
-And for some weird reason, pretty much every local news outlet decided to talk about Anne Arundel County Police shooting and killing a suspect with a rifle in Lothian, even though it happend, and was extensively reported on, a whole week ago. As far as I can tell there aren't really any new developments in the case, but here's a random article about it.
The Harford County Sheriff's Dept. really likes their stun guns. Baltimore County cops still want to "gain a full understanding of the practical positives and negatives" before using them.
Here's a much more in-depth article on Lee Boyd Malvo's sentencing.
There might be a serial kidnapper/sexual assaulter on the loose in PG County and DC. Also, if you see a silver Honda with a woman in the trunk, please call PGCPD.
From the "there's crime in the boonies too" dept:
-A couple of assaults in Cumberland.
-DUIs, sexual assault, drugs, etc in Garrett County (I find it mildly amusing that the newspaper out there is called "The Republican").

You're doing a bang-up job, Burger! xxxooo!
hey thanks! how's vegas?
Now that we're done with the partisan acrimony, let me recommend a limited-purpose litmus test for the performance of candidates from any party: count the number of guys floating upside-down in the harbor or face-down in Leakin Park.
Mayor-on-deck Dixon indicates that she'll be sticking with Police Commissioner Lenny Hamm, who still presides over the police department in the most murderous and second-most violent large city in the nation.
We need a mayor who can do whatever it takes to get the crime here down by about half in reasonably short order. That IS the job. Sheila Dixon has been singularly noncontributory to that end, so the question is: what sort of hiring schedule is she willing to require of the Department? How many net new officers each quarter (or else some responsible employee is mandatorily fired.)? Yes, I want hard numbers.
And as to the false arrests, they should be decreased by about 70% to start.
phew, thank god you finally commented, galt. i thought i was doing something wrong!
oh i wasn't trying to make a statement when i said there were five murders, i was just saying that to say it. five is an easy number to count to.
Not if you attended Baltimore City Public School.
lucky for me i went to school in frederick. they taught us how to count until we ran out of fingers, all the way to nine. we would've learned up to ten but cletus, one of my classmates, lost a finger in a cow-milking accident and they didn't want to discriminate against him.
Vegas is one big gaudy cash-hoovering whore of a city ... but they do have a Fatburger!
Bridesmaid, with horror: "I've just gotten into 'The Wire', is Baltimore really like that?!"
Me: "Pretty much, only less glamorous."
