Friday Night

Galt says there was a man shot in the head at Harford & Homestead St. last night at about 10 pm. No links yet to any stories.

A murder-suicide tonight at 1904 Cranbourne Road in Timonium has left two children orphaned. The wife had a restraining order against her husband, but he violated it. Obviously.

Police say two teens were stabbed while riding an MTA bus in southwest Baltimore this afternoon while the bus was coming from Walbrook High School.

WTF? Four sex attacks in 40 minutes in College Park. Police say the suspect is a white male, 5'9", 160 pounds, who always strikes between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and doesn't force his way in but finds unlocked doors and windows. The think he has hit nine times prior to this.

Checking the markets now, pot prices surged in all regions and sectors last quarter, and trading remains heavy on the Maryland Exchange with local prices climbing to $420 an ounce for "Poolesville Train Wreck."
And cocaine prices are expected to continue to surge over the New York Q1 average price of $30,000 a kilo wholesale as the imprisoned Diego Montoya's rivals and lieutenants fight for their share of the world's largest market, which observers expect to fracture into smaller, less efficient operations. "Authorities doubt any would-be cartel leader can maintain his 250-strong private army," the "Machos."

"The Washington and Baltimore field offices of the FBI, in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration; the Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department; the Montgomery County, Maryland, Police Department; and Loudoun County, Virginia, Police Department arrested 18 individuals and conducted 12 searches as part of a methamphetamine trafficking investigation."

The Examiner covers the testimony in yet another witness-retaliation case in Waverly.

Correction on the Harford & Homestead shooting: while homicide detectives investigated the incident, the victim remains in critical condition, shot in the head.

On the declining price of coke, please recall what happened the last time we had a glut on the market and the price fell: technologic innovation. The invention of crack and the development of new, low-cost systems of retail distribution (along with the attendant surge in inter-dealer violence.).

The price of coke is increasing, not declining:
Cocaine Price Increase

So now the coke is dear and the heroin is plentiful. Expect the distribution system to adapt.

It was a bloody night in Baltimore yesterday. Two shootings and a stabbing left three people dead.

I don't about anyone else, but when I hear about a bunch of guys calling themselves "The Machos" I envision them as a homoerotic acting troupe.
