January 20

An unidentified man was shot to death at about 9:30 last night in the 1500 block of Holbrook St., behind the Green Mount cemetery.

The headline "Young life taken on a troubled block in the city" is nearly identical to the one that ran for the story on Edward Smith in Cherry Hill, but this time the victim is 18-year-old Collin Mazyck and the troubled block is 2700 Tivoly Ave.

Mayor Moyer (wow, that's fun to say) eloquently addresses Friday's double murder of Cecelia Brown and Charles Cully: "It's not a good day. When we got to thinking that disputes get settled with guns, I don't know." I don't know either, Mayor.

Marvin Little was charged with murdering 27-year-old Derrin Thomas in a pickup truck near the Arundel Mills mall on January 10.

Jason T. Blizzard was stabbed in the 100 block of E. Baltimore St. in Taneytown (Carroll County) and is in serious condition.

There might've been a third man involved in the August murders of Dequincey Antonio Smith and Dontay Lamont Williams in Brooklyn Park.

Perhaps Dundalk resident David Abrams has learned that bad things happen if you lunge at cops while holding a knife.

Firefighter Fatima Hawkins was allegedly dealing coke and pot.

13-year-old Daniel Joseph Tasker ran away from his BaltCo home on January 8, and hasn't been seen since. Have you seen him?

Poe has been toasted.

Witness, witness. Where is that witness ?

So a triple-shooter gets off ? We'll see.

O'Malley wants to stem crime by increasing government's footprint in (foster) parenting.

But the evidence from school suspensions suggest government is just sending the many problem kids back home to watch tv. Where is the punishment going to come from ? Apparently, not the parents.

Enough with the coddling. Suspend parental rights for dysfunctional parents in the City and consign their problem kids to a residential military academy, possibly preparatory (voluntarily) to enlistment in the U.S. military. Maybe it could be run by the Marine Corps. They're going to need fresh recruits going forward.

Otherwise, they're in training to be criminals on our streets.
