Four alleged murderers may face the death penalty for killing a witness to a crime. The men are charged with killing John Dowery last Thanksgiving when he snuck home to visit his family. (I got the facts completely wrong on this one. John Dowery's murder is still unsolved, although members of the Special Heroin organization were charged with shooting Dowery nonfatally on Oct. 19, 2005. Just read Matthew Dolan's article in the Sun, and it'll all make sense. Sorry for the mistake. -TTC)

I wanted to add the following to your list:

On Thursday, June 21st, a woman who works for the cafeteria in my building went to the bank in the Security Mall parking lot to make a deposit for the café and obtain the cash for the next day's drawer. When she exited the bank, a white SUV deliberately hit her.

She was pinned between the SUV and her rear bumper. When she pleaded for them to back up the truck, the SUV backed up and she fell to the ground with a broken tibia. When she tried to get up, the SUV hit her again in the chest.

The assailants robbed her of a cash bag worth less than $500 in the trunk of her car and left. 911 was called and she was taken to Sinai hospital. She had to have reconstructive surgery on her leg and, thankfully, there are no broken ribs. She is badly bruised and shaken up.

I share this story because this happened at 4pm in the afternoon with many witnesses in the area. The victim took a different route to the bank every day, at a different time. She could tell you every car on the parking lot of the bank. This SUV came from no where. Please be aware of your surroundings and travel with someone when possible.

Jesus, that's a scary story. Whatever happened to criminals who just stick a gun in your face and demand your money?

On a more humorous note, I heard that Marcus Brown is having all MdTA cops fill out state ethics commission financial disclosure forms. Oh the irony.

Now that's the kind of counterinsurgency I'm talking about.

Can we get the Pan-American Games to come to Baltimore ??
