Killings may be tied to kidnapping case

As many as five Baltimore homicides over the past three months might be connected to the April kidnapping of two teenage boys from a Catonsville home, according to several law enforcement sources.

Rigged statistics for Sheila about murder reductions will not solve our problems. This gang activity is ample evidence of that. And, if you don't think the declines are phony talk to a Baltimore City police officer or a fireman about what they routinely encounter and the pressure exerted to classify it as something other than murder.

This city needs to call in an FBI task force. It's time to face facts. Baltimore is broken and needs outside intervention. If people from Baltimore had actually ever been to cities other than Baltimore, they'd realize that this place is inexcusable for twenty-first century America.

I still can't believe they issued an Amber Alert for these two. When I hear "Amber Alert", I think of young, innocent children abducted by people with evil intentions; the furthest thing from my mind is 15-16 year old drug dealers whose family and friends refuse to cooperate with authorities.

For those of you who feel the FBI needs to get involved.
The FEDs are already involved. More lower level drug dealers are receiving federal prison time in the last 10 years than at any other time in Baltimore City history and yet the crime persist.
I think Judges in the state district and circuit courts need to stop giving probation. I think Jessamy need to stop pleaing their way out of difficult cases.
Beafield need to work harder to eliminate dirty cops from the force.

I agree. Why waste any time, money, or other resources on these pieces of $hit?

I had to laugh about the 'Amber Alert' Yeah, an alert for two hulking druggie thugs. Come on, these two haven't been 'kids' for quite some time. As for Mama and her lack of cooperation, hey, just move on and let MamaJama and her family deal with the situation. There are legitimate cases and people out there that need help. The whole thing was laughable. Jerks.
