August 9

Seventeen-year-old Dwayne Erving was arrested for the murder on the 2300 block of E. Oliver Street yesterday.

Very sad: murder victim Lorado Williams Jr. was a friendly and clean-living boxer who liked poetry. The robbery and shooting that killed him seem to be random and there are no suspects, even though there is a police camera right there. A wake is scheduled for Zannino Funeral Home on 263 S. Conkling St. in Baltimore, with viewings from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m.

Jason Goldsmith, 38, was indicted for assault for beating his wife with their toddler. That's some meshuggah shit, yo.

Remember this video of drug suspect Wayne (Examiner) or Glen (JZ) Curry being punched in the jaw and dragged by an officer? His uncle Fred, who made the videotape, faces some serious jail time. Some defense witnesses said that police arrested him in a drug sweep only after they learned of his identity.

Baltimore city police officer Damian Sabo pled guilty in PA to hitting his estranged wife, Donna M. Bevan, in the head with a pistol as she was holding their 2-year-old child in August of 2006.

A Baltimore City Council committee approved Dixon's dubious plan to start a Gun Offender registry.

A caller to the Ed Norris show reported that mayor Dixon made a quickie apperance before the funeral for Jordan Brown, the man who was shot and collapsed on her front lawn*, but left before the service began.
*it probably didn't happen this way, but we like to think it did.

Country police are still investigating choirmaster David Riley, 59, who was given probation before judgment by a judge for possessing child pornography. Contractors working on his home notified police after they found "chest-high stacks" of photos of 10- to 18-year-old boys "playing tie-up games" in Riley's home.

City Police and the Mayor keep selling the story that crime is down in Charles Village, but no one's buying it.

But it's clearly here to stay.

Don't you all just feel so much safer ?

Mayor Dixon recently said misrepresenting and underreporting crime was unacceptable in her administration.

So, exactly what procedures have been put in place to ensure that it doesn't continue ???

Now take a look at what they've told the press about crime on upper Greenmount Ave.

They say the crime is down, right ? Take a look at the last two weeks where the story was written.

The truth is the first casualty.

Now, here's a cumulative map since the end of April through July.


Nice, huh ??

The Baltimore Crime Blog got my vote in the CityPaper. I figure that Det. Chesley's killer deserved to be best local scandal.

I'm just soooo fed up with city officials who are so accumstomed to lying.

They should all be given daily injections of sodium pentothal on arriving at work. And the Mayor should be given one before each debate she attends.

I picked Keiffer's dad making home improvements with campaign funds.

Doesn't that mean she'd never get one?

The Circuit Court has approved a conditional release for Charles Hopkins, a disgruntled businessman who in 1976 shot and killed a councilman in City Hall.

Notice: shoot a plain ol' citizen dead in 2007 and you'll be out a lot earlier than 31 years.

Maybe Hopkins release should be conditional on obtaining a permit to carry and a map of the current City Council offices.

Shit, if he did that today I'd say award him a medal.

This is a fine example of why no violent felon should ever get parole. Prison sentences are too short.

Man shot, 3400 block, DuPont in NW. He's the city's # 194.

Interesting article about some dirtbag who managed to get himself arrested on gun charges EIGHT times but never did more than a few months in prison. At one point he was simply allowed to walk free because of incompetence at the State's Attorney's office. Fortunately the Feds have taken over this guy's case & now he's facing a life sentence.
