She was my year at Loyola, that was a rough day.

After Freddie Gray's killing, the DOJ opened an investigation into city police. They found a pattern and practice of city cops doing illegal/unconstitutional shit like unjustified stops, enforcement strategies that targeted Black people, excessive force and retaliation for First Amendment activities. So the city, BPD and the feds reached a consent decree. They agreed not to do that stuff and to make reforms to training and oversight.

There’s ZERO public transportation in Bel Air, let alone HarCo and they intend on keeping it that way.

They have a tiny county commuter bus system but it’s not used and goes nowhere for importance. There’s a MARC train stop in Aberdeen tho. The same cannot be said for Bel Air as the others.

Yes, New York City has a low crime rate, but things similar to this spree of crime happen pretty consistently in high density areas of the city like Times Square. No it's not a dangerous area or neighborhood or city imo, but I bet there's a pretty violent crime happening in the vicinity of Times Square most nights because so many people move through it. Towson also has a low rate of crimes, but things like this will happen more here and not in places like Catonsville or Ellicott City because fewer people live/travel through there.

Exactly. They went overboard with policing to get the results they got. If they hadn't then they'd be like other cities with similar population density.

The person who I responded to also used SF as an example, which went down a similar route and also costs too much, similarly.

Question is what happens after that, the city pockets the profits of the sale Im assuming?

Worked for a time in the revenue collections office. Mostly the problem is that the city doesn't have working addresses for these folks since the only mailing address on file is the property that was lost in the tax sale auction. I believe that they do (or used to) post a list on the website, but it's kinda buried and not easy to find.

NYC did things that worked but some would say went over the line. Stop and frisk for example. Now, you need too much money to live in NYC (well, in Manhattan anyway) so crime is much lower. But back in the 70s-80s-early 90s it was pretty bad.

They don’t. Not any official ones at least. You’ll find nothing in TU school stores with TSU on it.

That was something they did recently for like the 25th anniversary or something. It was TSU when I went there as well.

Hey I’m looking for two tickets to tonight’s show please hmu!!!

Angry white male?

It was posted on here months ago. He was involved in some other stupid white supremacy stuff. I’ll search for it

People born with money don’t know how to live without it.

The sober community here is large, diverse and welcoming.

Why do they sell TSU sweatshirts?

Those cities also have functioning police dpeartments, better education, and decent transit. We should try to do the same here.

But also, Baltimore has less than half a million people. We can't achieve the sorts of economies of scale that Tokyo can.

soldier's delight is kind of cool and often overlooked.

I enjoy "urban hiking" too. Don't sleep on a long walk through the city just for fun.

My man, I'm really not trying to get into an argument on a Monday morning. My original comment was to someone I like following on here because they usually have good insight to things. I just thought it was a bad reason they gave that someone was shot because.. there were more people in an area.

I've worked the closing hours in Baltimore bars. It's a harsh lifestyle. If businesses want to have more employees working that late, they need to make the compensation worth it.

Sure, I made a lot of cash, but I also had to buy my own health insurance, had zero paid holidays or paid time off, and the earnings were variable depending on the season.

I can work a 9-5 with less cash flow, but be better off financially due to the entire picture of compensation, and that doesn't even touch on the fact that working regular hours with paid vacations is way easier on your body and mind.

>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

Damn, just looked this one up. What a fucked up story. Why not just kill yourself? Why kill your whole family for your own fuckup? What a scumbag.

Do we know the race of the alleged perp?

Taipei and Tokyo are extremely dense and have some of the lowest crime rates in the entire world.
