Correction...perhaps half the male population of a certain "demographic" has a record. Call me whatever you want - fully expect it. The truth is the truth. Something is very, very wrong in the culture of this "demographic" that they have no respect for themselves or others and it manifests in repeated antisocial acts of violence.

There probably is. The police aren't going to release every single detail of a case.

They also didn't mention that he's a democrat but there's a 97% chance that he is. Let's not leave out that he was raised with the liberal mentality which always manifest itself into adults with no morals or respect for anyone but themselves or people doing things in the name of helping others but never end up helping anyone. I'm glad I'm a conservative and raised my kids with conservative values. Nothing upsets me more than seeing the results of liberalism, all one needs to do is walk in a school or read the latest police blotter.

Frank all of what I said was true. Unfortunately democrats have to rig elections redistrict and allow illegal voters to vote to win. While Maryland is mostly red it is run solely by liberals and the liberal ideology. Schools are the embodiment of liberalism, the results speak for themselves and you can't defend any of it without making up lies yourself. How does it feel to lie to yourself on a daily bases and watch everything you believe fail and cause more damage than there otherwise would have been had you just left it alone? Liberalism is the classic bull in a china shop only 1000 times worse because a bull would only break everything in the shop where as liberalism does that then brings other things in to break. I wish liberals were as smart as they think they are only then would they how stupid they really are.

I have and stand by my comments.

That would be like ignoring cigarettes as a cause for lung cancer. If you really want to show compassion for the deceased then maybe you should think about the chain of events that led up to them being deceased and try to avoid having it happen to someone else. But that wouldn't be the liberal way, the liberal way is ignore that and create more liberal ideas to fix the mistake that was originally a liberal idea of not disciplining the child that grows up with no fear of accountability.

K Jenn so next time somebody that looks like that shows up at your door you go ahead and invite him, make him at home and perhaps cook him a meal. If you hesitate at all - even for a moment then yes, you too are guilty of making a value judgement based upon demographic and appearance. Go ahead lie to yourself...that you'd be just as safe in your home alone with that guy vs. traveling Mormon on mission. Your problem is you want to pretend otherwise and resent anybody that's willing to point out the obvious truth - the one you know and live by but pretend you don't because you live in your pointed headed, I'm superior, urban sheek, nonsensical superiorism that is actually stupidity with a cloak. Go ahead walk around the Cherry Hill area in Baltimore at night and tell me how it's just as safe as Fallston. Idiot.

Why don't you enlighten us on the conservative party. You have nothing but a bunch of made up lies. Give me some links that I can blow out of the water. I'll put conservatism against liberalism any day of the week and twice on Sunday and wipe the floor with you. Don't you know liberals can't debate conservatives because they will lose every time? Why do you think conservatives are always under attack? Because you can't win against the truth.

Defeat is strong with this one. He's got nothing so he runs.

Like you pay a cartload of taxes! You don't sound like a CEO to me. The guy killed a saint and God will get him. Cut it loose, bro. You sound like a guy who just got up from cooking.

First off all...Belair LOSER.....WHICH YOU ARE...he was far from a thug and a worthless piece of shit.......he was very well educated and very well respected in helpin out others....I'm not racists in any way shape or form but YOU DON'T SEE YOUR SO CALLED THUGS (WHICH YOU PROFILE AS COLORED PEOPLE) GOING AROUND SHOOTING UP INNOCENT KIDS OR EVEN INNOCENT PEOPLE...no do you? Its only YOUR KIND...THE WHITES WHO DO CRAZY AND DUMB SHIT LIKE THAT......SO May BE SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT YOU ON TOUR KNEES AND DO AWAY WITH YOU

Another lib defeated;

Really? You can't even wait 24 hours after those poor children were murdered to try and start a race fight? Unbelievable.

Racist? You need to take your liberal self and get some psychiatric help!

He's as good as guilty. Why you defending him so much? Is here your lover?

Very clear you're referring to white people...while I never said black. I'm talking about urban, drug and criminal types and it has nothing to do with color. Hide behind a heinous crime if you want but surely even given the statistics of last week's horrendous tragedy I stand by my statements because it's overwhelming true and statistically proven.

Ummm, excuse me psychoreligiouslady! I didn't say a word about race you, you ignorant fool. Watch your racist statements, and clear up your facts. And please change your name to something more fitting, such as "classless race baiter".

I have no responsibility for this thug or the shooting in CT. None, zero...I am not responsible for everyone on the planet. I am responsible for those I come in contact with in terms of treating others with mutual respect (that's mutual) and not making a civic nuisance of myself. The very idea that we all owe each other; that violence is our national responsibility is at the base of the problem - if it's everyone's responsibility then it's no ones responsibility. You're reaction to a simple truth "you sorry excuse" suggests you are less than civil and therefore part of the problem. A continued and ill-focused discussion regarding slavery won't stop urban youth in Chicago, Baltimore, Denver or DC from killing each other by the thousands.

Ok Ike, I get it. You are afro-american, and you think along the same lines as classless-race-baiter. If this productive member of society is guilty, why should my tax money go toward keeping him alive? Did the man he was accused of beating to death have a choice? You ignorant simpleton. And as far as your comment about income/ceo/taxes, let's just say I pay more in taxes annually than you ever will. Not a brag, just the facts sir. Buck up.

Being outnumbered doesn't make one correct...very small sampling of population when opinions are narrowed to the very few that post on Patch. Demographics can be so many things beyond race. Somehow however the baiters...those that seem to dwell on race as the end all to everything choose to see racism where none exists. What I find truly sad is that you can't comment on the overwhelming violence in inner cities and the near collapse of family structure there without those like you pulling that race card. You do realize you do no service to those you think you're protecting.

Oh for God's sake Jennifer. You sound like every other Leftist tool I have ever met. You know everything, and the solution to all of the world's problems. I guess you think this thug should continue to suck the money out of our system after he gets convicted? Why don't we give his family some food stamps and free healthcare too. Maybe some cash assistance and free utilities too. Oh, let's not forget to subsidize their rent too!

Are you 6? We're talking about gun violence and you bring up Columbus? And then because someone dare refer to inner city gun violence which is well documented and discussed child it's something akin to Adam Lanza...read just about anything written about urban pathology by Daniel Patrick Moynahan; but then again you would have no idea who that is.

How the fuck do you know what troubled Adam Lanza? You his sister? His shrink? Come back with facts for once instead of your opinionated BULLSHIT!

First comment linked to that article just about covers it:

"Gun violence is poorly defined here. Homicide is a violent affair with purposeful disregard for the health and safety of another. Accidental shootings are accidents, and not willful events. Suicide while violent and sad is self administered. Truthfully children in urban areas are more likely to die from gun violence..."

Angry much?

STFU! You sound like an angry person who feels shortchanged by a society that you think owes you something! Who's the racist here so far? All signs point to you sir.

It's worse with victims of circumstance and liberal know-it-alls. By the way, you texting this on your free Obama phone?

You have all of the solutions Jennifer. Come back with something productive. All you do in these forums is instigate. Typical Liberal know-it-all.
