An armed-and-dangerous bank robbery suspect, Kendall Alexander, 41, left, is on the loose.An O'Malley interview by WBAL notes that in 2004 violent crime in Baltimore was up 4 percent. The term "inconsistency in leadership" comes up. As in, even the Democrats are saying there's doesn't seem to be much clue what the plan is, or whose job it is to establish priorities to go about making the plan. Are we fixing "broken windows"? Are we "targeting hot spots"? Wiretapping? Building bigger jails and kicking off some executions? Adding more drug treatment facilities? Anyone? Anyone?

A local artist, really a very nice fellow and a neighbor, was found Sunday inside his home in Waverly, which had been burned. The BCPD has deemed the circumstances suspicious, as he was found in a room away from the source of the blaze. If indeed, foul play was the genesis of his death, then we should all feel rather unsafe. He was quite mild-mannered and never had enemies. His immediate surroundings, however, are filled to the brim with recidivist criminals, for the corridor about Greenmount is home to one out of ten criminals in Baltimore City. We should probably feel very unsecure in our homes tonight, because if it could happen to him, it could more readily happen to us. One in three males between 18 and 55 on the streets in my area are convicts (active cases, technically)but police patrol officers are few and far between. There's no way for the Few, the Proud to supervise a veritable jailhouse army. We must significantly increase the number of patrol officers per shift, which can currently be counted on two hands per sector. That's a lot of territory for a couple of officers and a vast multitude of hoodlums to babysit. The consequence if we do not increase patrol officer to offender ratios to be comparable to the healthier cities, like NYC, is that more of us will be found, murdered in our own homes.
