They put on a hell of a show on Belle Isle this weekend considering the crappy weather. Penske says he hopes to go bigger next year.

It’s actually pronounced “Balt More”, the “i” is silent. :)

Yep and as aforementioned (bilingually so anyway) ‘hear’ in the soouth ;-) cheers!

It would be unethical, kind of like you rooting for many more black babies being aborted.

I know the activists and our President caused this, but people are people and this is a terrible thing happening across the nation IMO.

I heard one LEO explain, that the idea is, you respond slowly and deliberately, until all you have to do is take the victim to the morgue or hospital, and put out a warrant for the perp; then you go back to the station and write it up. No muss no fuss no sweat.

40 minutes left before the buzzer.

Still plenty of stuff to burn though.

30 minutes to go, you can do it Baltimore, just three more homicides to break the record.

At least one other shooting in West Baltimore a couple of hours ago, at Gilmor and Fayette streets, per Twitter

Correction, it was a double shooting

Per scanner feed, they might have a serious stabbing incident of some sort.
