Good for O'Malley, trying to criminalize child neglect

New drug alert: "Bath salts," aka synthetic cathinone

Ten years for Darnell "Nelly" Savoy, a thrice-convicted narcotics possessor caught in the same room with two illegal handguns and some gelcaps

30 months in prison for hydrocodone-dealing dentist

It's Bernstein's first protest! Nine (or 10?) people protest in front of the courthouse against "hate group" Shomrim, and for some reason the Sun & the JiZ treat it like major news

Jury selection slated for Wednesday in dog-burning case .. if those boys get more time than Lakesha Haynie, I am going to pee myself.

Re: the Shomrim case

Assuming the incident happened as described it is a little crappy that those guys are getting away with a misdemeanor charge. Why is it though that the NAACP makes a bigger deal out of a case that ended with a kid getting a broken wrist than about the Lakesha Haynie plea bargain? Just goes to show that these so-called "activists" are nothing but race-baiters.

The woman who stole baby Carlina White from the hospital then raised her as her own could get 20 years. Lakesha Haynie killed her own child and did less than a year. It just doesn't seem right.

BTW, mb, you were wrong about homeless census, it was a hoot.

Take a look at the homicide pie chart, contrast and compare between 2011 and 2010. Southern had a total of 17 homicides last year already has 4 for 2011. Eastern maxed out at 39 last year, only has 1 so far this year. I noticed a bevy of creepy-looking plain clothes cops getting ready for a raid in the Ollies parking lot in Brooklyn yesterday at around 2PM.

The sheer amount of homocidal incidents is shocking. It isn't a good sign that Southern already has 4 this year in relation to what it had as a total figure last year.

excellent observation on the sun making a big deal over nothing. fenton made 3 tweets about it yesterday. The Sun is run by a bunch of goofs. NAACP is trying to find any good reason to burn a reputable organization. If other communities were as effective as the Jewish community as effectively patroling their own community Baltimore would be a lot better off.

Cham said...

So the Jews now own the streets and are in charge of everyone who lives in "their community"?

no, but they are responsible and willing to police it; including people passing through it.

On the other hand, the annual homeless census, which Cham mentions, involved roughly 200 volunteers overall and lasted about 17 hours in total, got no coverage at all. Zip. Only Fox 45 bothered to show up. Great job, Only Real Newspaper in Baltimore.
