Odd, was another teenager shot near Belnord Avenue, or it this the same story?
And police are still seeking Antoine Martin, 16, for stabbing Paul Jones at Southwestern. A picture might help.
Rest In Peace t-shirts are hot sellers at Mondawmin mall, and across the country in our West-Coast sister city of Oaktown. Headlines the SF Chronicle, "R.I.P. shirts become an urban tradition, Mementos honoring the dead now a religious ritual, complete with their own rules of observance."The E blasts MOM for Mrs. J's $83k pay raise: "why didn’t O'Malley spend the money on a counselor for himself and Jessamy to improve their relationship?"
Getting Low in HoCo:
Like the cartoon villan she sounds like, Penny Banks is eeevil.. stealing $82k of dead-man checks!
Also on Rod's blog: Sapo of MS-13 pled guilty to racketeering, and a 25-year-old could be in jail until he's 55 for an accounting-fraud scheme. And a former District officer pled guilty to transporting a shotgun that he and his teenaged daughter sawed to an illegal length.
Myriam Bédard flies back to Québec today, after, says the Canuck National Post, "languish[ing] in an American jail as punishment for her testimony into the federal sponsorship scandal."
Languishing!
And MD taxpayers will be housing some Mexicans and a couple tarheels after they were busted for the coca.
Fun fact: the teenaged Cybrarian was once charged with felony reckless endangerment in Reidsville, Rockingham County NC!
Life may be too short, but Rodricks can make it feel a lot longer!
Dear middle-aged paunchy white guy of Baltimore: Let me start with this: Newspaper space is precious. Full of sad news sometimes, but newspaper space is precious. There are designers and editors in your department- and people everywhere in the newspaper business, for that matter- who work hard at laying out pages, appeasing advertisers and making pages interesting to look at. Readers spend seconds every day looking at the paper because they have faith newspaper space is precious. Most of us want to be informed. There are countless people with no newspapers, people who can't even read ... ... to use precious resources, space and ink repeating the word precious six times ... Just writing a few sentences in that pedantic, hand-wringing style is exhausting!
(Said Journalism professor Christopher Henson of Rodricks: "a white columnist’s imitation of black argot might be read by some as condescending." TG brothaman cut that shit out at least, right?!)
Thanks to galt for the link to the Messenger's Northern crime log, in which one can read about a York Road carjacking ("a motorist was flagged down"?) many stolen laptops, and in Hampden, arson and a stickup at the Dunkin Donuts.

the kid shot on Belnord was never actually dead. he's hanging on. he might even make it.
Really? ABC lied?
Or is this from Hamm's numbers man?
Sounds like the cop with the sawed off was tampering with evidence:
"Kennedy recovered a 12 gauge shotgun from southeast Washington D.C. while on duty as a police officer."
"Kennedy later took the short-barreled 12 guage shotgun back to Washington, D.C. where he arranged for the gun to be recovered by the MPD."
i hated those R.I.P. T's. All my friends got them after one of our friends died. I dunno know they jus seem like a trend and way for people to say "look i was friends with this guy who jus died, and dont fuck wit me." I feel they also perpetuated the hate i feel between gangs and cliches at school. The guys who made the T's were sleezes in my mind.
Martin from da town....
D's c, do you have any idea of how I can send a response to the Rodrick's Article? I'm actually pretty offended by what he said as a member of the killing black generation.
Well, there's always sending a letter to the editor.
They should give me his space!
I can get 10 times as much opining done in half the words-- they could put a Len Stoler ad right by the byline!
As a member of the intended audience, you're not grateful that such an esteemed member of the fourth estate took time away from his busy schedule to enlighten you?
