Wow, a teeny fleck of hope ... City Council Vice President Robert W. Curran is trying to stop the killing with a bill that calls for "heightened police enforcement" in "declared emergency areas," a proposal based on Philadelphia's successful plan.
The mayor's response was "lukewarm."

Crime tip of the day: If you get hit with paying a customer $17,000 that you stole from him, don't try to get the money by threatening your local bank manager.
Crime tip of the day, #2: If you're going to flee the scene of an accident, make sure your license plate number isn't embedded in the filth of the car that you hit.

wait, why do we want philadelphia's "successful" plan? their homicides have increased like 40% since the 00's began.
Looking at the count... does anyone remember, was Duane Allen [96] declared a suicide? I seem to remember someone commenting along those lines, or am I thinking of someone else?
somebody (probably galt) said that one of the normount avenue bodies was declared a suicide, and one of y'all already removed them from your list. that seems like it would make the incident a murder-suicide, but the other still hasn't officially been called a murder.
fyi, don't be so quick to blame the DOC for letting that man walk free. it sounds like there may have been a paperwork snafu on the part of the courts. DOC can't hold someone without the right paperwork. if the paperwork ain't there, they have to let you go. (unless they realize they let an accused killer walk free and have to make up a reason to detain him again until they figure out what went wrong...ha! at least they're trying to fix the problem!)
it looks like the Sun changed guy's name from "Salmond" to "Almond," which is weird because the first spelling is the right one.
Know this b/c I called the Southwestern to ask and the gal who picked up the phone was SO incredibly rude (even by Baltimore standards)!
"Who is this? Who am I speaking to? Who are you with?" I was like, "I'm a concerned citizen."
Her: "Well, I don't know anything about that. I can't help you."
(why not just say so in the first place?!)
*SLAM!*
Bitch hung up on me!
Then I called homicide, that guy was totally nice and helpful. The golf must have done him good!
And crap, I forgot to check the spelling of his first name!
