The City (and County) that Bleeds

Baltimore's off to a great start this year with murder and mayhem in high gear. last January was a banner year for the murder trade, and it looks like this year's a good time to buy stock in bullets.

But look out Baltimore City, because the county is getting into the action. Some of the murders reported in the last week took place beyond the city limits, and at or near big malls, no less.

The media around here showed the usual tact and class by training the camera on the shocked and grieving widow of one murder victim in the parking lot where her husband was shot while she screamed inconsolably into her cellphone to a relative.

Good job guys. The Local Pulitzer is in the mail.
