No time for a proper post today, so please add articles to the comments. A few quick ones, though: Annie Linskey wrote a story about the
Druid Heights neighborhood where two murders occurred on the same block, and don't forget to read about nine (!) murders in this week's
Ink. (Also, don't forget
Murders Revisited, which I again forgot to link to last Friday.)
I saw that MJB beat me to posting about SCOTUS's decision in Kennedy v. Louisiana. Yet another stupid death penalty decision from the Supreme Court :(
ReplyDeleteHere is another fine example of "legal ethics" from a defense lawyer.
ReplyDelete"I'm gonna rip them apart," Fagan said of young victims. "I'm going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”
Remind me again how these specimens of subhuman trash are "defending the constitution?"
I'm just reposting a link to Baltimore's Busy Blotter.
ReplyDeleteNasty news around Union Memorial in Charles Village.
ReplyDeleteThe week's crime log in the Baltimore Messenger seems largely full of property incidents, but includes (apparently) yet another robbery, armed this time, outside the Giant supermarket in Waverly.
ReplyDeleteI repost the two most recent for the sake of comparison:
East 33rd Street, 600 block, at 3:30 a.m. June 2. One man tried to rob another with a knife near Giant supermarket. (the Examiner)
Robbery A man, 65, was walking in the 600 block of Gorsuch Ave. about 10:20 p.m. Saturday when he was assaulted by an apparently unarmed man who robbed him of his wallet containing credit cards and personal papers. (the Sun)
They appear to be distinct incidents.
When last contacted by the community association, Giant responded:
"Crime? What crime??"
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm:
ReplyDeleteRobbery: A man armed with three handguns entered the office at Rite Aid in the 11900 block of Reisterstown Road about 5 a.m. Monday and forced the manager to give him money from a safe and a cash register. The gunman then ordered the manager and a second employee into the pharmacy and forced them onto the floor before fleeing.
Rite Aid procedure is to keep doors locked outside of store hours, even if staff are there. How did a stranger get in at 5:00 a.m.?
ReplyDeleteReginald F. Lewis High has a new principal coming in. Hopefully one who takes a dim view of faculty as punching-bags.
ReplyDeleteUh, oh. The Sun staff get the axe.
ReplyDeleteMSNBC considers civil rights issues and the 'displacement hypothesis' with respect to police surveillance cameras.
