This Lamont Davis thing has me confused. When the police found him I thought he wasn't wearing his ankle monitor. So if his ankle monitor was in one spot and he was in another, then how do we know where he was? Am I not remembering this right?

Not really Baltimore related, but domestic terrorist Scott Roeder (Dr. George Tiller's murderer) received the maximum possible sentence yesterday. He has to serve life with no parole eligibility for 50 years. Since Roeder is 51 this means he has essentially no chance of ever being released. IMO terrorists like him deserve the death penalty (and because of the nature of his crime I think that death by coat hangar would have been approrpriate) but at least he'll rot away for the rest of his life, caged like the animal he is.

Roeder was still given the opportunity to run his mouth while in court. I don't know why the judge allowed that. Kansas is one place I wouldn't want to live.

Because defendants have a right to speak at their sentencing? Let him talk, criminals only screw themselves over when they open their mouths.

FYI, that "pit bull" article you linked to, while admittedly full of dramatic pictures, is a bunch of silly hyperbole. It posits on improper statistics from dogsbite- a partisan lobbyist group who thinks that ONE breed of dogs is so very different from all the rest that eliminating it will solve all problems. So they use manipulative tactics to make it sound like the problem of dog biting/attacks is a "pit bull" problem. The National Canine Research Council can explain this better than I can. http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/dog-bites/. If you speak to any credible animal organization- AKC, ASPCA, National Humane Society, American Veterinarian Association, The Animal Council, National Animal Control Association, they will tell you that this is not an appropriate or reasonable approach to the problem of animal attacks, dog fighting, or animal abuse.

While SOME of the ideas in the article about avoiding DOG bites are correct, most are in fact NOT. If you'd really like to learn how to avoid dog attacks I'd suggest this is a better article from the Humane Society (although less dramatic, I get it!) http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/avoid_dog_bites.html.

Another way is to report suspicious activity involving animals. REPORT when you see animals chained up outside all day without food or water, or without a shelter. REPORT if they seem to thin, or scarred. REPORT if there are way too many animals in a house. Prevention is still the best medicine.

Feel free to contact me for more information at any time.
Thank you.
