the sun just updated with an article saying that one of the people shot at china garden yesterday has died.
wjz just posted this article saying that murders in anne arundel have "more than doubled" and gone up "over 60%" this year. that's funny, i thought that for a number to double it had to go up 100%. also, they are STILL saying that annapolis had 8 murders this year, even though one was a guy killed by the police. this after the sun already ran their own article about this story on the 28th wherein the final paragraph was "This year's homicide tally does not include the May 5 death of 34-year-old Roger Alan Trott, who was shot by an Annapolis police officer as the man was pointing a gun at a state trooper."
then they go on to say that AAC murders excluding the city of annapolis were at 18 for 2006. i just checked my list and found only 16, but i did find exactly two people killed by AAC police. wtf is wrong with everybody this year? is this the first year anybody in the media has ever tried to tally up murders or something?
of course by "this year" i mean 2006. it's gonna take me a few weeks to get used to it being another year.
