October 17

Sixteen-year-old Antonio Hill was shot to death Sunday (<219) in the 800 block of West Baltimore Street.

Grand jury report: arrest rate "bordering on violating a person's constitutional rights." Meanwhile, protestors against the BPD arrest policies marched on War Memorial Plaza.

Police are looking for Demetries Strurgis (or Sturgis), wanted for the murder of Rasheed Stevenson, 17.

A 17-year-old stabbed a 16-year-old to death with modified kid scissors at the Hickey School.

The City Council will hold a hearing December 13 to consider a resolution asking police to reopen the investigation into the death of Robert Clay.

old man driverJacob Radin, 89, confused his Honda's gas with its brake, ran over a security guard and hit the bank building at the 5100 block of Roland Avenue. He wasn't charged with anything, so he can keep driving! Super!

In Greenbelt, Juan "Diabolico" Lopez got seven years, three months for participating in an armed robbery and burning a bandanna that had been wrapped around a gun used by another gang member to kill a teenager.

In AAC, two idiot teenagers are charged with calling in phony bomb threats at Northeast High.

Out with a bang: (Now former) Harford County Council President Robert Wagner was arrested after driving drunk, exiting vehicle, landing face-first on pavement.

Post Op-Ed: When it comes to crime and punishment, both gubernatorial candidates have questionable managerial abilities.
BTW you can watch last night's JZ debate online.

Did I read the story about Calvin Amos yesterday correctly? It sounds like the man has been convicted of manslaughter after defending himself against a criminal who broke into his home. Absolutely sickening. We can't put away real criminals, but law abiding citizens who try to protect themselves get arrested and tossed in the slammer. Pat Jessamy deserves to get cancer and die.

Sheesh, take a Midol!
A city jury convicted him, so there's probably more to the story ... I'll try to find out.

I'm hating on whatever cop didn't charge the old man. "Ho, ho, that crazy grandpa!"
Hope the security guard sues him, gets awarded inheritance of his kids who didn't have the sense to take his keys away!

I know that Michael Steele's sister was once married to Mike Tyson, but seriously why would he want to be publicly endorsed by a convicted murderer (Don King) and rapist (Tyson)? I don't think these endorsements will play too well down on the Eastern Shore and in Carroll County.

An outspoken businessman is shot in the head and pronounced dead. Following a minutes long investigation, O'Malley's police declare the death a suicide. The community says ain't no way. O'Malley ignores the public outcry of Baltimore citizens.

I'm glad there will be a hearing despite the mayor. What ichy said about Jessamy is way harsh. It should be applied to O'Malley. JUSTICE for MR. ROBERT CLAY!!!

On the subject of Calvin Amos, I know nothing about the particulars, but a big problem in baltimore is that we don't have a self-help statute, but only a self-defense justification.

Self-help was the norm, until the due process revolution. A preoblem with no self-help is that you have to rely on the police, of whom we don't have many.

Caught in Baltimore between a rock and a hard place again.
