The suspected burglar, whose name was not released pending notification of next of kin, had prior convictions for breaking and entering and had just been released Saturday from a Baltimore County facility, Guglielmi said.
Released on Saturday, committing crimes again by Tuesday. Who says the criminal class has no work ethic?

Just wait. This was in Bloodymore, Murderland, and the student may find himself prosecuted.

Was it the long sword or the shorter one?

That reminds me of the scene in Pulp Fiction where Bruce Willis has the choice of a variety of weapons hanging on the wall...

...but it’s a Tarantino film, so he eschews the hammer, bat, and even chainsaw for the katana.

“Just wait. This was in Bloodymore, Murderland, and the student may find himself prosecuted.”
....or at least the target of a wrongful death civil lawsuit in front of a jury from the hood...when I lived in Maryland, the Johns Hopkins area was getting more dangerous all the time....a parent would be crazy to pay that kind of tuition to send their kid to school in an urban war zone like that.
