ANOTHER, third (as-yet-unnamed) police officer has been shot, this time in Perry Hall in the County, and now that officer is in Shock Trauma and the suspect who shot him is holed up in a shed!
An arrest in the shooting of officer Momodu Gondo, 23. "Collin Hawkins, 24, has been charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and two handgun violations." No word on Gondo's condition.But
Sloe-eyed hot cop Tfc. Eric D. Workman, shot in the lung, can sit up in bed.
Wowee, after 39 years in Jail, Walter Lomax is free.
Frederick Jones, 54, of Columbia, HoCo got life for attacking his ex, Natalyn Tart-Jones, with a machete, cutting off her fingers. Natalyn had a protective order, which Jones violated. A criminal case from two years before had been dropped by the court.
Carmelo Kiyan Anthony is giving back after his appearance in "Stop Snitching"-- he'll be in East Baltimore today to open a "youth center" at 1100 East Fayette.Speaking of black youths... there's a stat: "For every four black men in college, there are three behind bars."
An interesting idea...
"The report ... endorses the use of more single-sex classes inside regular schools, saying research points to a rise in academic achievement among boys segregated by gender."
...And, the most alarming use of "maybe" in a sentence: "Maybe it is counterintuitive to put children and ex-offenders together. And maybe it's exactly what each one needs." YIEKS!!
Pick up the January issue of Essence magazine, featuring Mrs. J in "The Streets are Watching," an article about witness intimidation in the City.

Huh?
BCPD indicates total crime is down 3%, yet the Examiner tallies total tracked crimes at 50,464 vs. 50,484 last year, YTD. That's not 3%, it's .03%.
The only decreases in violent crime were, as I predicted, Other (nonshooting) Agg. Assault, down 14% and sex offenses, down a whopping 24%.
Now, rapes don't really respond to increased policing because most are at the hands of known persons, family, friends, etc. Not only do I suspect these are reductions by reclassification into Part II Common Assault, but you will recall former Commissioner Clark's statement that Deputy Mayor Enright fudged the rape numbers in the past.
I don't believe the numbers we're being given.
per the author, there is a typo in the total crime number: it is (reportedly) a 3% drop.
More glad tidings from Johnny:
Why do you think New York City is so much safer than Baltimore City?
Well...
consider their differences
Stat NYC Balto. City
acres 154,000 49,000
blocks 47,000 30,000
police 40,000 3,034
blocks/police 1.175 10
So, they're about 17 times denser in police coverage than we are, since NYC blocks are about 50% larger in area than in Baltimore.
I wonder if that could have anything to do with it ????
A 29 year-old Rosedale man was shot dead last night on the 4000 block, W. Belvedere in NW, becoming the 258th homicide of 2006.
If you want to know if a particular crime is being fudged, just look into what is rising.
Crimes are easy to fudge. Take Agg. Assaults...look to see if Common Assaults have risen dramatically. Burglary; look to see if Larcenies have risen dramatically.
Its that simple.
I meant to add, same for Robberies...look at the Larcenies (Thefts)
And God bless the three officers.
