Afternoon

Herve Massaba must take great comfort in the political posturing about how the only people affected by crime in Baltimore are the people who are involved in crime in Baltimore. Of course, this happened in Baltimore County, so maybe things are different out there. Interestingly, the article in the Sun did not mention the woman who was paralyzed after being shot in the neck in Fells Point a few days before Massaba was shot.

The reckless endangerment trial against Shanda Harris has been postponed until September 5. Harris is the mother of 11-year-old Irvin Harris, who was allegedly murdered by babysitter / convicted sex offender Melvin Jones.

The first-degree murder trial against Melvin "Tight Rope" Faulkner is scheduled to begin tomorrow. Faulkner is accused of murdering Pierre Alston at 3620 Edmondson Ave. on May 5, 2006.

Kevin Warren was arrested during a traffic stop on July 6, shortly after being featured on America's Most Wanted. Warren was charged with first- and second-degree murder for killing 13-year-old Briona Porter during a robbery of her family's new ice cream truck.

Apparently Zach Sowers took a turn for the worse this morning. The hoodlums who beat him up will be arraigned on July 18th. If it were up to me I'd hang them all.

A 14-year old girl was killed early this morning.

The woman who was shot in Fells Point is my sister. The Baltimore Sun told my family they'd be sending a reporter up to the hospital waiting room where we had been practically living at the time 6 days after the shooting. The reporter no-showed us, and never ran an article.

"Thug shoots woman" has become as common as "Dog bites man" apparently. If a day goes by in Baltimore without a single shooting, that would be newsworthy.
