Give a message to Dan Rodricks' ex-con buddies: "Uncle Sam Wants U."

Can we turn the Baltimore City Public School System over to ROTC ??

John, this information about Army recruitment has been around for at least a couple for weeks and I don't know why it's suddenly news now. The bad part is that the media is only telling 1/3 of the story. One third is that those with weavers are not the serious offenders, after intensive checks most of the young men in question are the ones who made a mistake, but are not harden criminals. The other third is that most are proving to be compentent soldiers and have made good with the second chance they were given. But I guess the good news isn't news worthly.

Here's a more in-depth article.

Let's see, Izzard had a drug record a mile long, and Ellerby (the one killed at the funeral) just beat 1st degree murder and weapons charges as recently as November, which I'm sure will come up in the police investigation. This sounds like relaliation to me, and in a city where relatiation runs so rampantly, we know that's exactly what it is. Sad, but true. Nothing short of bringing in the military will stop the murders in Baltimore, nothing. It won't end until the youth have finally managed to kill one another off completely.

Well if we could just stop the hoodlums from breeding (which they currently do like rabbits) they'd quickly kill each other off, and Baltimore would be a great city again. Maybe that whole eugenics thing wasn't such a bad idea after all...
