Kids these days

17-year-old Dashawn Brown stabbed to death in the 3100 block of Edmondson Ave (in a house? on the street?)

An undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old boy in Florida nets a BaltCounty children's entertainment magician in a sex sting.

.. and we're number 5! Crime is down, but not here as much as elsewhere.

So Appalled!

Have you seen these mind-boggling revelations about the extent of domestic spying?!basically every e-mail you ever sent is on a government server. Did we fight the cold war to be East Germany?! Puketifying! I surely hope there will be a vast and wide swath of citizens protesting at whatever Baltimore courthouse this will be in on June 13.

Ha to the ha ha!

That Belinda!
Belinda Conaway's mutarded lawsuit against Adam Meister has hit the AP-- From the Fred News-Post:

Baltimore councilwoman sues blogger for libel
BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Councilwoman Belinda Conaway is suing a political blogger and his publisher for $21 million for libel and defamation over a column that alleged she did not live in the city.

The suit filed Tuesday alleges an Examiner.com column by Adam Meister is meant to fool the public into thinking that Conaway lives in Baltimore County and force her out of office.

On election documents, Conaway lists a Baltimore City address used by several members of her politically active family.

Conaway’s attorney, Thomas Maronick, said Wednesday that the Randallstown home in Baltimore County is listed on tax records as a primary residence since Conaway and her husband file jointly and he lives there part-time. He said Conaway is seeking to correct the records.

Conaway said this could happen to anybody.

Meister said he backed up his allegations with documents and is honored to be sued over the matter.

Justin Jimenez, a spokesman for Denver-based Examiner.com, said the company has no comment and hasn’t been notified of the lawsuit.
Yes, it could happen to any lyin' tax cheat, Belinda Bear!
I hope the IRS makes an example out of you & you do get forced out of office-- though who would want that office? The seat is up for election this year? ...... any takers?

The Boys are Back at It

A fatal shooting in Westport ended a 12-day homicide-free streak in the city. It also ends a streak of a week of almost all female stories on the blog.

E E Baltimore

Emma Eileen was the name of the woman who was found in the Jones Falls. She was 66 and the wife of "prominent" bishop Wilbert Baltimore of Anne Arundel county. Says a BCrime commentor, "She was forced to live with the shame of her husband's "double-life." She suffered pain and abuse at the hands of the individuals who supported her husband and covered for him. This looks like foul play to me...please do some digging into this case and the history of this family. Its better than a Lifetime movie."


.. no word on the owner of the bones in the Hampden basement
