May 13

There's a follow-up story on the completely chickenshit murder of father-to-be Carlos Santay-Carrillo. For all you cynics out there who are waiting to hear about the victim's rap sheet, it's looking like he was a pretty decent guy who was a victim of a random attack.

If a stray bullet penetrated the outside wall of your O'Donnell Heights rowhouse and suddenly you noticed your baby's head was bleeding, would you run outside to be safe? I mean, the bullets came from the outside, right? MJB, maybe you should address the proper course of action in your next book.

Two men were shot last night, one in Allendale (in the Southwestern) and the other on N. Collington in Middle East. (Or is that the Middle East? It sounds kinda weird saying "A man was shot in Middle East." Of course, it doesn't sound as weird as saying "I saw a bunch of happy children singing songs and playing with puppies and smelling flowers in Middle East.")

Irwin's trying out a new dialect: "A deliveryman for Papa John's was returning to the store about 5 p.m. Saturday when he at a stop sign in the 1300 block of Filbert St." (Also in the Blotter: a couple of shootings and a stabbing.)

Could someone please ask the dipshit editor at the Examiner why he/she thought it was a good idea to put the story about customers who aggressively threw coins at a McDonald's employee above the story about police searching for one of the Edgewood kidnappers?

Three men were arrested, and they're suspected in a slew of city robberies (including the one against a grocery-bearing woman on Schenley Rd. a few weeks ago).

Aaron McCown, the respected Old Town youth football coach who got busted for threatening a ref with a loaded gun at one of his Pop Warner team's games, got 6 1/2 years.

The witness intimidation trial for Yusef Winston-Bey and Victor Shuron has been postponed again. Of course, the trial is a moot point because Margaret Mead says Winston-Bey is "absolutely innocent."

Freddie "flash and boom" Mackler is out on bail and chilling at his brother's house in Owings Mills.

dude are there any cameras at the gas station where Carlos was murdered? and what were all the "witnesses" doing to help this poor kid from being stabbed to death?! the fear instilled in people today is amazing to me..i can understand if the witness was a lone women or something of that nature, but if there are multiple witnesses (plus the people who WORK at the gas station) you gotta help! those standing around and watching are almost as cowardly as the murderer..

First of all the bullet came from inside the neighbors house because they had a argument. Shots fired and went through the wall and thats why my aunt ran outside. We knew they were in the house anyway. We looked outside and then ran to safety. If bullets coming through ur wall were would u run? Huh Get ur facts right before judged someone's reactions. And when u live ina neighbor hood like that and next door to a drug house you better make sure u have a excape plan towards the door. ODH

To quote the initial story: "someone standing in the 6100 block of Plantview Way fired several shots, one of which penetrated the exterior wall of a rowhouse and entered the house."

AA's account makes more sense, actually. First of all, most of the houses in O'DH are brick, and your typical slug isn't going to penetrate an exterior brick wall.

Second of all, most people would only run outside if the bullets were coming from inside.

Finally, this is a blog. We don't deal in facts, we deal in sarcasm and ignorance. ;)

Okay, so I shouldn't have winked. That was sooooo 1998 of me, and I like totally apologize. But I wouldn't be doing any namecalling there, Ms. Sarcastica Snarkypants.
