... wouldn't commit these kinds of crimes!!
Buried in the Blotter: "A man, 30, was attempting to prevent a gunman from entering his home in the first block of W. 23rd St. about 3 a.m. Wednesday when he was shot in the upper body."
... also, a 13-year-old robbed of shoes and a man robbed of pain pills.

Fuckwad Holding Hostages
Oh God, another domestic hostage situation. Some asshole has two hostages in Parkville.
Update: Everyone was released unharmed. Phew!
A judge sent Mark Castillo to a psychiatric hospital yesterday.
Bealefeld's canned the commander of the SW, following last weekend's shootathon, and is doing no tail sitting when it comes to the abysmal homicide clearance rate.
Two alleged shooters arrested, one of whom is 16.
WTF?! In PGC, an 8-month-old baby was shot to death!
Buz sez Eddie's has a new item: pistol whip
Stolen in the Northern: iPod, Cadillac, violin, DVDs, coins, etc.

September 3
"4 killed in 15 weekend shootings in the city" and two more shootings reported last night.
The Ink adds two new names to the toll.
A suspect is at large after robbing a Rite Aid on Security Blvd. and kidnapping an employee.
The Court of appeals has ruled that a prison inmate’s confession to investigators that he molested a child can’t be used against him.
Another "Stop Fucking Snitching" figure is about to get some time. "Tremain Arrnel Tazewell admitted in federal court Tuesday that he worked with a conspirator who bought heroin in New York" (the headline is deceiving, Tazewell faces a max of 20 years but has not been sentenced yet).
New school year, new efforts to increase the peace. (Doesn't Exhibit A have the best covers?!)
And, on John Watch, a fresh hooker 'round the elementary school!
Bail bondsman Valdez V. Fisher Jr.: "an arrestee’s access to freedom is far too immediate and convenient."
Media Blabber: CP on the Sun-related blogs.
Lynn Anderson left journalism and moved to France!
What the?!: Two brothers who ran a Philadelphia funeral home have pleaded guilty to selling corpses to a company that trafficked in stolen body parts, including Alistair Cooke's!
(Insert "Master's Pieces Theatre" joke here)

# 147, # 148
Reports the Sun's Sara Neufeld: Reginald Carter Jr., 20, 400 block of S. Longwood St. at 9:10 p.m last night; unidentified teenager, shot in the chest in the 200 block of S. Woodington Road.
-- correction, this is the same as #146.
What the?! "A Baltimore judge has awarded $275,000 to a Hampden tow truck driver who, after complaining about the wait at the city’s impound lot, was badly beaten by the lot attendant."
In Dundalk, a house burgled, the resident murdered, and the teenage co-defendant is out of jail.
Ew. Former Maryland state delegate Robert A. McKee was charged with possessing child pornography and reportedly will plead guilty.
Did you know? Target has its own crime lab!
A break -in and violation of a protective order in the 4500 block of Keswick, a BB-gun shooting at Robert Poole middle school (mascot, the Fightin' Busbeaters) and a pickpocketed gal at the ESPN Zone in the Blotter.
County detention center all finished... but the lawsuits are just getting started.
Hey, the Court of Appeals has three VJJs now!

Lori Responds!
"Thanks for your interest in my whereabouts. b was a freelance gig and responsibilities at my real job have pulled me away from it. My posts linked to all sources. I can't speak on their transition to print, as in this position, I was strictly a blogger and not a one-woman publishing house.Also, nothing's been removed from the archive http://www.bthesite.com/archives/author/loribarrett/."
A milli!
We reached a million hits sometime this morning! That's kind of a lot

Labor Day
As you enjoy your days off (well, most of you):
A man in his early 20s was fatally shot in the safe and friendly neighborhood of Irvington, making him number 146. Even with the offense, it is worth noting the dramatic dip in homicides in the city, which is exactly what the Examiner did.
Brandon Barfield, a 20-year-old little dear, was arrested for multiple robberies in northeast Baltimore yesterday.
The Blotter for Monday features a shooting, a robbery, and a homicide as an addendum to random nonfatal offenses ...

MD Dept. Juvenile Justice = Huge Mess
Jaw-dropper of the week: "Dwayne Price had been arrested 11 times and had run away from state custody at least once. Yet at the age of 18, the state's juvenile justice system gave him one final chance at rehabilitation." Less than a month later, he'd raped an 88-year-old woman, "the second time Price had raped an elderly woman while supposedly under state supervision." ... and it just goes downhill from there.
Sun blogger Peter Hermann writes about murder victim Tyisha M. Brown. Employs sentence fragments. For drama. Like Rodricks. Likes to.
Bealefeld attributes the record-low homicide rate to "a focus on locking up repeat violent offenders," Dixon's office also credits a city health department mediation program.
Har! Raven/genius Derrick Martin was suspended a game and fined after taking his pot to the airport.
MD news:
In QAC, an 18-year-old is charged with hitting an 11-year-old and a 15-year-old with her car (on purpose)
Hyattsville's Wendy Garcia, age 25, got three years in jail for lying to protect members of the Gang that Saves Trout. Also facing the business end of the long Rod of the law: a bank robber, a gun possessor and a guy who defrauded the Small Business Administration.
Looks Gangsta but Isn't Dept:
Converse pulls "gangsta" shoes
Dr. Dre's son was found dead, cause undetermined

An unidentified man was found shot to death this morning in East Baltimore in the 900 block of Valley Street. No suspects, no motive.
... and the owner of car-repair shop Joe's Garage shot a would-be robber to death. No word on if the owner will face charges.

Correction: Jayne Miller is Not a Biter
Van Smith of the CP tells us that Jayne has been on the Tillman tip for a while. Unlike Lori Barrett, she is not a biter. We hear she's also quit smoking! Yay Jayne!
BCrime regrets the error.
ps., right before the CP's article appeared, Lori Barrett went "on vacation" and hasn't been heard from since.

"Die Bitch Die"
Yike, Baltimore John Watch reports that a working girl was attacked by a tall, skinny man with "calcium deposits" on his face.
Media Blabber
WBAL= total biters!
Not long after the City Paper published court documents re. the Tillman raids, the NBC affiliate is patting itself on the back for "obtaining" them.
I guess clicking on a .pdf is strenuous if you smoke as much as Jayne Miller does!
Here's much more on the Tillman antics from the News Hole.
Also a biter: Lori Barrett of "b"
Don't miss CP's story from last week on the Sun's miseries.
Will Brandon Grimes go free again? "A city crime lab employee left his own DNA on the pistol police say Brandon Grimes used to kill an off-duty Baltimore police officer, according to testimony during Grimes' murder trial this morning." And also, ew.
In Rockville, "Ex-Teacher Charged With Giving Students Cocaine"!
It's a hell of a drug!
The new "Baltimore Crime Beat" column is on the arrest in the 1986 murder of wino Charlie Neeper
A guy who had his azz beat by county police after they accused him of stealing his own car is suing for $850k
Baltimore City Councilwoman Rochelle “Rikki” Spector (5th District) got a lucky break when the officer who issued her that disappearing traffic ticket somehow never got a summons.

Afternoon...
A 16 year old boy suffered from a nonfatal offense when he was shot last night in Northeast Baltimore.
Who will test the testers? Apparently the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board will.
In a twist of irony beyond hilarity, Anthony P. Wallnofer wrote the rule he's accused of allegedly breaking. You'd figure he'd have been smart enough to draft a loophole...
Daily Blotter, where it notes $30 worth of soft drinks stolen in Pikesville. What, tap water wasn't good enough for you?
Anna Ditkoff tracks the murders in Baltimore as few others can do, noting two from this past week in the process.

Holy Pasta Fagioli! 5,000 gallons of Olive Oil spilled into the harbor and had to be cleaned up last night.
