You can beg better than that
Has anyone else been inspired recently to take up the martial arts? Any suggestions of quality places in town near the Northern get one's Bride on?
Jeez that's messed up
Stories like this make you want to dip your computer in Lysol or something.
“This case is a chilling reminder that people who chat on the internet often lie about who they are.” No truer words ever spoken, Mr. Rosenstein.

More brazen robberies in the Northern
The recent rash of thieving hasn't just been confined to the JHU area-- a prodigious list of robberies and burglaries in the Northern, including street robberies in the middle of the day.
"Fight over firing of public defender is far from over"
Police Tweet: "DRUG ARREST: NW Police Dog Woden sniffs out 1.5 lbs marijuana & $8,600 during car stop @ 2400 blk of W belvedere. Kevin Ennis arrested."
WTF?! County councilman's daughter, granddaughter, allegedly threatened, scratched and bit a police officer during a traffic stop
Speaking of brazen robberies: the last thing I'll ever post on ACORN

Almost punched my computer screen...
when I saw this story thinking the BPD changed their minds again with the Gerrod Finch case.
BPD: Ponts Had No Intent To Kill
Reports WBAL, but the Sun says a decision to press charges from the SAO could be "weeks away."
The Sunpapers also has new details that contradict the "noise in the basement" version of events, and an editorial in a thoroughly irritating, sanctimonious tone.
(Whoever wrote it, "they" likely will be scarred psychologically for years to come by the devastating knowledge of this Video American promotion)

Baltimore PoliceDept SHOOTING-3400 BLK CLIFTMONT AVE-ADULT MALE SHOT. CRITICAL CONDITION
UPDATE: VICTIM DECEASED
Ponts v. Rice
The recap, in case you missed it.
So, Hopkins students "Ponts" and "Woody" hear a noise in the basement in the middle of the night. But instead of calling 911, like Richard Nolan would have done, they go out searching, Ponts with a bone-shearingly sharp sword and no idea who is out there and if they're armed or not (what if they'd had a mace?). The roommates claim the intruder was hiding inside of the garage, then lunged. Somehow, though, they got outside to the patio to do his screaming and bleeding.
Weather or not Ponts will be charged with a crime remains to be seen, and inquiring rubberneckers are dying to see a photo of this kid.

What do you get If you spend 45 years being a fraudster? apparently not much.
Finally:

Inquiring minds...
Update: "department sources identified the detained student as John Pontolillo, 20, of Wall, N.J."
Pontolillo is a junior, prior to Hopkins he attended the Ranney $chool in Tinton Falls, six years behind the "Marie Antoinette" actress Kirsten Dunst.
Rice has a seedier background: police say he pulled a loaded .22 on an officer in 2007.
But his sister claims her brother was "too fat" to pose a threat.
