Two murders yesterday, of 34-year-old Dwing Robinson Webbs and 40-year-old Natasha Elizabeth Bates, bring the city homicide total for 2013 to 124. And the city is paying for two federal prosecutors, how does that work?
Did you hear the one about the 13 murderers* released in MD after the Court of Appeals ruled it's illegal for a judge to tell jurors that his instructions are "merely advisory" and not legally binding? Now the 13 murderers are getting set free, but, irony alert, the six-time escape artist who brought the case will stay in jail.
In Baltimore, every summer is a gun summer! J.M. Giordano, the photographer who's birthed iconic visual series on subjects such as the variegated fans of death metal, block dancers and doormen and the tranny hookers of Calvert Street is now embarking on a series of photos of city gunshot-wound locations.
Where in the world is Frederick H. Bealefeld III? Today it's the land of Lorca, y'all.
Busted by the Seventh Day Adventists for storing his homemade child porn at their general conference HQ, one Joseph Edgar Davis was sentenced to 150 years.
Crack dealer Kintrell Todd McEachern got 12 years and lost $13,601.50. Hey, for once the drug guy got less time than the pedo guy!
Remember Matthew "writer turned warrior" VanDyke, the UMBC grad who Dutch tried to rescue from Libya, but then he was all like, no thanks, I'd rather stay in this African hellhole and shoot people? Apparently he's now in Syria, and Van Smith has a curiously fawning article about him in this week's CP. Recollects the activist documentarian with no apparent hint of irony, "I stayed, and it ticked off some people whose business it really wasn’t."
Baltimore police arrested a PA guy who'd celebrated his birthday by stabbing a homeless man.

Is it a trick question and the answer is "wait until they're all dead?" cuz I think that's the policy we're defacto going with...
aaaaa
Not much we can do about the ones already indoctrinated but hope they come to their senses. But to thwart future memberships, we need to engage and educate children in neighborhoods exposed to the gangs from pre-school on. More emphasis on social education/social integration programs along with pre-and after school activities. This is the only way to eventually stop these gangs. For the present members, it may be too late for most.
That's the thing, police have to work actively in partnership with the community. The jailers couldn't control the jail without the cooperation of the gangsters to control their members. I suspect that when the big bust at the jail came down it caused a reshuffling, and that meant promotion opportunities for the gang members, so rival for leadership and potential threats/snitches made up a large part of who was getting shot in the past couple of weeks.
But just a theory.
Lorca's Blood Wedding? Wow. This site is turning into a Literary Webzine.
Sounds snappier than "land of Pan's Labyrinth" or "land of Franco" or "land of ham"
