June 21

Ryan Cornell Mills, 23, was murdered (#127) in Southwest Baltimore, in view of four police officers.

Duane Elkerson was arrested for the murder of Antoinio Alford (N. Bentalou St., #118).

Just as I suspected... Baltimore's arrest rate is a complete anomaly, and "abated by arrest" is a new term, coined here. Also not just your imagination... Baltimore (with the exception of the Jewish community) is shrinking.

Linda Bullock, 41, has been missing for almost a month ... so why are we hearing about it now?

An officer shot a man in the stomach in Dundalk Monday night.

Victims June 13 to 18: Cynthia Riley (#119), Kevin Sewell (Towanda Avenue, 120), Trey Branch (E. Chase, 121), Donald Lewis (East Preston, 122), Said Sawab, 123, arson. Blackburn John (Ellicott Drive, 124) and an unidentified man (Smallwood, 125). I wonder what the extra number is. Julia Boussari, or someone else who is 'pending'?

Holy Gonzaga! A 15-year-old girl was found in Northwest Baltimore chained to a bed by her mom and mom's boyfriend. And a couple is in jail after leaving a handicapped five-year-old in a motel room.

Shit! The disappearance of newspaperman Phil Merrill was no accident!

yay, something new to arrest people for.

What an asshole. Not only is Kenneth Ellis' tag so shiteous other writers turned him in, he's also the wanker that drops chicken bones on the street! The Examiner also throws up a story.

The City will get $800,000 from a construction company that used a fake minority-owned firm to get contracts.

So, let's recap:

The city is shrinking, not growing, to the tune of 1% per year. (Get Out of It)

The city has the second-worst crime in the nation.
The city has the second-worst schools in the nation.

The front-runner, Detroit, refers to itself as a Third World country
(see today's Detroit Free Press)

And we're basically arresting the wrong people with the scarce manpower resources made available by managerially-challenged Police Commr. Hamm, so crime is thriving, even if Mayor McCheese is cooking those books and inducing many victims to nonreport incidents.

How are we responding: publicly building more structures to house people who either aren't coming, or are coming to the new by abandoning the old. Net, net... more redundant buildings when the crash comes. Foreclosures are on the rise, BTW.

Get In On It... before it Falls In
On Itself

But Sir John,

O'Malley's governor's campaign ad says that they're "Leadership that Works" - are you saying that the signs are lying? Surely you jest!

Hmmm... I wonder if O'Malley will file another complaint with the census bureau about how Baltimore's Not Shrinking, Dammit!

And I've almost come to a personal conclusion. I'm voting for Duncan because I want O'Malley to stay in Baltimore. Why do I want him to stay? Two words that send chills down my spine: Mayor Dixon.
