Man shoots teen trying to break into his car in Lansdowne, MD, police say
Jeremy, this happened in the neighborhood of Halethorpe where I used to coach. It is a mixed industrial-residential area where the black gang the Untouchables used to beef with the white power gang the 4th Reich in the late 1980s. This innocent, unnamed youth with the knife seems to be a member of the newer Latino demographic.

Baltimore County police release video of convenience store stabbing
A grab and stab. Dig the video! The stabber just attacked “from the march”. The victim wasn’t even given a chance to give it up.

Jeremy, I'm thrilled that my hometown thugs are confirming my findings published in The Logic of Steel in 2001. There's is nothing like some home team support for the aging author!

Baltimore Robber tries to force hostage to carry stolen goods
Ah, pressing your victims into service…just like in the good old days, eh? Old habits die hard. It’s the slave markets of Seville for you, me bucko!
His piece looks like a Jimenez Model JA-32 .32 ACP caliber. Paul Jimenez bought the manufacturing rights to the old Jennings/ Bryco pocket pistol models and moved the operation from California to Las Vegas. I don’t think they make the .32 anymore. Just the .22LR, .25 ACP, .380 ACP and 9mm Parabellum.

Jeremy, it is good to know that Mister Brown was looking out for the 7-11 franchise holder. After all, had he ruptured a disc carrying all 70 cartoons of smokes out the door then he may have sued the owner for not providing proper equipment, like a dolly with air-filled tires... Seriously, I could not imagine working overnight on West Lexington—yes, I could. It would be a horror story.

My bad. Jimenez Arms DOES still make the JA-32. For some reason the drop down menu on their web page doesn't always display a reference to it, but it's in their product line up.
James, I notice in the photographs posted by the Baltimore and D.C. media of handguns seized by police that many of them have the grips wrapped up with black plastic tape. I must surmise that the dindus make this modification for two principle reasons: 1. because they frequently break the grips on the guns when they toss them away at the approach of the police, especially in jurisdictions where the police are practicing a "stop and frisk" policy 2. to create additional friction to keep the pistol in their waistband from sliding down their pants leg, ala Plaxico Burress. Criminals almost never carry their guns in holsters since wearing a holster would be a dead giveaway that they were carrying a gun, even after they surreptitiously ditched it. What's your take on this, James?
This is exactly what I've been told by a BPD cop.
Excellent point, Jeremy,
The two places guns are most commonly kept is in a waistband and on the tire of a parked car, and that black tape helps it blend in with the tire under the wheel well. One source told me that the reason for Dindu love of super thin tires and large rims came from this practice of stowing a handgun on the tire of a parked car and wanting wrist room to grab it, but I was unable to fact check this.
The guns held in hoody front pockets are .22 or .25 caliber.
