Pretty standard for NIMYBers. My sister said my house was sketch because a bus stop was nearby.

That's great that you feel that way. But nobody said it's a 1-to-1 or that there isn't more to it. But population density is a good indicator of crime rate.

I just think there's probably more to it than than that. Because, again, if it was the case then NYC, Boston, San Francisco, and Miami would all have the highest crime rates

Going tonight!! So glad I scored a ticket weeks ago

Large volume of unsuspecting people who move here from places without crime.

In terms of absolute numbers, yes. Per capita, the more meaningful metric, it's often lower. There's a lot of people in Towson, most going about their day like normal people.

NYC is rather an exception than the rule.

Don’t get me wrong I had a great time living there besides that incident. Just be aware of your surroundings and lock the doors!

Not necessarily. If that was the case then NYC would have the highest crime

Is he in jail now? Everything I saw showed he got out in 2018. Was he arrested for something else?

Damn I lived in Donnybrook for a couple years around the same time and never felt unsafe, even though I knew it had a long-standing reputation. That’s wild

I went to Towson in 2016. My apartment was robbed at gunpoint (they put a gun to my roommates head) thankfully they just took her card and left. This was in Donnybrook at 7:30 on a Monday the sun hadn’t even gone down yet. Tell your daughter to always lock her doors even in the middle of the day.

Btw my mom had to rage call the school to send out an email notifying the students of the incident. Turns out that same guy had done the same thing to a girl walking home from class. But Towson doesn’t like to take accountability for anything like that. I loved my time at Towson. But safety isn’t their top priority. When I got cited off campus for a fake ID (hehehe), they were sure to fine me as well because I “represented the school” but were silent when my apartment got robbed.

With the current craze that every kid must go to college, means that there will be more of all sectors of society, including the nut jobs. Angry white males are not restricted to Dundalk, Essex or Middle River or working blue collar jobs.

The recent increase in violence in the pristine burbs was always going to surface, as it did during the years of busing.

Omg…. Your parents… 🤪🤣

there's a huge sober community here! also one of the few biking communities with a huge sober presence. i'm not part of it myself, but among the people i know that actually makes me an outlier which is pretty cool.

He’s in jail now. So he gets his just desserts

My parents' take: that's what happens when you allow public transit.

Reality: All people struggle and Towson is a fairly central county seat. Lots of people who have problems travel through that town every day.

Same could be said of Cockeysville, Bel Air, and Owings Mills.

Just making sure! Everyone deserves the joy of knowing that piece of shit experienced some cause and effect.

Jessica Lee Mayfield and Truth Cult tonight

Oh, you bet I’ve kept up with the misadventures of that POS trash-rabbit, Matt Heimbach. I read this back when it happened. My buddy that sent it to me, we both had the pleasure of having class with Matt prior to him trying to trying to start his mediocre white supremacy kids club.

Did you ever hear the end of the White Student Union story and where Matt Heimbach ended up after getting kicked off campus? It's a good one...

Tl:Dr the white supremacist shithead group he was in fell apart after he had an affair with the group leader's wife.

I WFH with Comcast and I never ever have any trouble. It’s overpriced for sure but fast and consistent. Also, so many great food choices here. The LGBTQ+ community is smallish but very friendly.

I know a few people who attempted it as well... and failed! Certainly means they should do more of them

This isn’t new for Towson. Every couple of years things get shooty in the mall parking garage, fights breakout uptown at the bars, there’s several colleges in the area and unfortunately people get sexually assaulted, some guy from NJ goes off and murders his family in a hotel room because he loses his job and can’t afford them anymore while visiting his daughter at Loyola … (this actually happened in ‘08), or white supremacist want a recognized club, so they can perform vigilante justice on black dudes around campus …I graduated from TU in 2011

It’s a densely populated area. The more dense a population the more propensity for crime?
