March 21

April Montford died last Friday, after a non-profit agency helped move her from a nursing home to an apartment where her two daughters were paid $13/hour to take care of her. Allegedly, they didn't do a very good job. "Montford, 40, was found in bed Feb. 29 with gangrenous open wounds and bedsores with lice and maggots in them, according to police. She had a month’s worth of urine and fecal matter on her, and her uterus had fallen outside her vagina because of neglect, police said." Her daughters have been charged with vulnerable-adult abuse, first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

The Blotter has a couple of shootings and a whole bunch of stolen electricity.

Here's a closer look at Sarah Kreager and some of the crap that police had to deal with.

The court says former Police Commissioner Kevin Clark can ask for his job back, along with a $120M raise.

The mother of a Lutherville teen who was killed at his landscaping job says her son was murdered.

An Edgewood man was charged with second-degree murder in the July death of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter.

Some dude in Edgewater was keeping a pet squirrel, and in the same article but lower in priority, six people were arrested in Annapolis after "neighborhood complaints and recent crime in the area."

Wow, the article about the little thugs who attacked Sarah Kreager should eliminate any doubt that they were responsible for what happened.

Be careful expressing your righteous indignation at the failure of government officials to uphold laws.

They may send someone to arrest you.

Whatta wimp of a Governor that he can't handle a well-deserved verbal thrashing.

Q: Did he really feel physically threatened?

April Montford's daughters are a perfect example of why we should still punish some criminals with floggings.

I know it is relatively common in this city for a 40 year old women to have children that are 24 and 25, but how common is it for her to be in a nursing home?

Oh boy, here's some great news. The Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee has decided we need yet another study about capital punishment. This is idiotic, there have been countless studies, and they never reveal anything new.

"The death penalty in Maryland has been on hold since 2006, when the Maryland Court of Appeals ordered a halt to executions, and ordered the state to come up with new procedures for administering the death penalty.

So far, the governor and legislature have refused to do that."

Hey O'Malley, do your goddamn job.

Maybe there could be a study to investigate whether or not there should be another study on capital punishment.

Galt, last time I checked, there was a big difference between expressing righteous indignation and making death threats.

Incapable, lying politicins invite criticism, sometimes intense in nature. If the guy said "I'm gonna wait outside your house and put a .44 shell through your skull...", then yeah, I'd think of him as a stalker.

But if he said

"O'Mallley? Someone oughtta choke that guy!",

I'd simply consider him a justifiably disgruntled citizen.

No need for any arrest warrant.

Perhaps the letter was very compelling, or perhaps O'Malley can't take the heat and oughtta get out of the kitchen.

Today's Sun had an article with more details about the Southwestern District Flex Squad fiasco.

Oooh, look here everyone, yet another clueless editorial from the Sun. This time they're giving us a sob story about Marcus Tunstall, who was sentenced to life w/o parole as a juvenile. They wait until the last paragraph to mention the fact that he was put away for murdering not one but THREE people. Words cannot convey the contempt I feel for the asshats behind that editorial.

By the way, this is an excellent reason to support the death penalty as well. I'm not naive enough to believe that capital punishment deters murderers in the US, however the moment we abolish the DP all the thug-huggers will beging putting their energy towards getting monsters like Marcus Tunstall released.
