Simone was waiting for the #15 at Frankford and Belair at 3:30 in the afternoon, headed out to work the evening shift as deli clerk at the local supermarket. The armed bank guard was pacing to her rear as she waited for the bus on the corner and she felt pretty safe, what with it being light and with many people about of all descriptions. She is normally very vigilant about letting any black youths around her. But the bus was coming and she was getting ready to board and checking her fare, and “smash,” she was clothes lined by a teenage forearm across her glasses, knocking them off, and knocking her to the ground. The hitter and an accomplice took her wallet, [as she was careful not to carry a purse, being aware of her prey status], her cell phone, and her bus pass.
She was able to stagger home on her own, as no one offered to help her, including the armed guard. Once home she was able to call work on her roommate’s cell phone, resulting in her losing her job for missing the shift.
This is one of the most dangerous corners in Northeast Baltimore. For ten years I walked past this spot almost every night of the week. It was bad then, in the 1980s. Now it is a murder hub, and warm weather is coming, main got polar bear season in the ghetto.
See the deluded links below.
Off topic, The Z Blog added you to his blogroll!
Maybe return the favor and add him to your links...

He is a lawyer living on the ghetto edge
I always read Z and LaFond in tandem...
Updated daily, he posts gems like:
"Post-modernism is when a people forget all of the lessons of previous generations and start painfully re-learning them."
"The people running things employ persuasive morons to sell their position to the persuadable morons. Arguing through a megaphone leaves only one option. The side that is the loudest wins. It’s why Progressives will work free of charge for a turn at the megaphone. "
"Laws limiting free association were intended to eliminate the organic structures that naturally oppose authoritarianism. It’s why the Founders made freedom of association the first item in the Bill of Rights. It’s why Progressives have been making war on it for close to a century."
"My chief complaint against libertarianism is that it is a convenient hiding place for people unwilling to take on the Left. If you reject central planning of the national economy, but are afraid to be called bad things by the local lunatics. In the culture war, libertarians will never go over the top and will, once in a while, turn their weapons on their comrades. You just can’t trust them to fight."
"Gun control has always been a proxy-debate that is more signalling than a debate. Good whites from Yankeedom see guns as a stand in for southerners in particular, but all bad whites in general. After these shootings, the good whites get to have their day for acts of public piety. it’s why they say the same things over and over. Rituals are like that."
Maybe fix Eradic to Eradica while you're at it.
And another blog that linked to you several times, and where i initially found out about LaFond, with a big F, is:
isegoria.net
Both sites would be worthy additions to the links
I have no affiliations with them, I am just a fan...
Will do. Thanks for the info and the interest.
The armed guard is an effin' maggot.
But you knew that already.
