February 19

David Frasier, 26, was shot to death in East Baltimore [35]. George Baskerville, 28, was shot to death in the Northwest [36].

Youngsters found a burnt body in a field in South Baltimore [37?].

Blotter lowlights: A 29-year-old man survived being shot in the head on S. Payson St.; a man was hit over the head with a shovel in a fight about a phone bill; a 44-year-old man was stabbed outside of a bar in the Southeastern.

Doug Gansler wants to create a new unit to investigate cold cases from the Civil Rights era.

County police shot a man after a standoff yesterday. (Again?)

If you missed "Five Things I Have To Have Now" with Stephanie Galling-Flake ... consider yourself lucky. (Is she paid to endorse those products?)

The Examiner reports that the District is preparing a 'freedom from fear' resolution, which recognizes a) the right of citizens not to be victimized and b) the failure of the city government to provide for public safety.

Now, I'm not so keen on guns as the best corrective solution, but I sure wish Baltimore City Council would recognize our basic right against victimization.

Oh, great, just what we need. Public officials who are even more criminally-inclined.

AME - accepting more excuses

Why don't we just change the name of the place from Baltimore, MD to Bodymore, Murdaland.

Whatta rotten f#@kin' place this is.

The good (if you can call it that) news is that our recidivism rate is so high (1 in 3 are rearrested within 6 mos.) that the new provision will apply to very few people in Baltimore, since you have to be out of jail 3 years.

Has anyone heard whether that AA County hit-and-run was perpetrated by an illegal? The "no fixed address" bit caught my eye, but the Sun isn't saying either way.
