Now they went and did it.

Two guys, shot up, were dumped by the Hyatt Regency in full view of the tourists.

Now don't they know murder and mayhem are only allowed outside the line of sight of the people who matter ??

Geez. Mayor Dixon should repost the ground rules for criminals. No blleeding around the tourists.

A young Vietnamese-American girl when interviewed downtown respoinded "It was kind of scary, really. I mean, it's one thing if it happens in the inner city, but this was right in the Inner Harbor."

Yeah, Hon, it's no fun when it happens to us, either. And for the record, the Inner Harbor is dead smack in the middle of the inner city.

Maybe these people will understand that murder's never ok, even if it isn't happening to you or your friends. It's a public problem; for all of us.

You've got a great blog, however.
