Today's Politics
The Wild People
More in the political arena for the Baltimore area. Deposed Commish and State Superintendant Ed Norris invited both Ehrlich and O'Malley for a radio debate on the show. O'Malley did not show up even with the offer from Norris to leave the room due to personal differences. *Ahem.
Governor Ehrlich, on the other hand made an appearance and spoke for upward of an hour. Hey, Ed, how come you have no PodCast like the rest of the hosts? Anywho, the Guv spoke on the arrest situation in B-more and the subsequent non charging of thousands of City citizens. It kinda does give the appearance of odd ball arrests which brings me to agree with Delegate Jill Carter's assessment. If the Guv thinks some arrests are "unwarranted" he needs to back those calling for a review...put your money where your mouth is, sporty. Over 300K arrests were kicked back last year.
Wow! According to the article, the BPD made over 1 million arrests last year and still had 42 out of every 100K killed! Looks like someone may possibly be arresting the wrong people.
Meanwhile a couple people, two that I noted before going to sleep, were shot and killed on the mean streets.
The Schools
What's up with this? An 8 yr old gets arrested for discharging a weapon in school? Tell me, was that show and tell day? Twice this week, schools were plagued with shootings nearby. Today's shooting looks to have occurred on school grounds by way of drive-by. Someone shot several times into a crowd of youngsters standing at a local high school.
BPD and Corrections News
Someone hit then tried to run over the Po-Po on Cottage Ave, er, allegedly. Said someone ended up with hot lead in his ass, allegedly. Too bad for him.
Two persons involed in purposely setting up and shooting Detective Hemmingway pled guilty. Some attorney made a ridiculous statement about being where he shouldn't be ... like this isn't America or something. Anyway, one recieved 20 yrs in the plea for shooting a police officer, the other something like 5 yrs for helping.
IMO, those sentences SUCK ASS!
In the Smoot case, the jury has finally come back with their verdicts. One Corrections Officer was found guilty of 2nd degree murder in the stomping death of Raymond Smoot. A second CO was found not guilty.
