The police response is indeed distressing. I am curious about the facts behind
the
assault that was in progress when the good samaritans intervened. Does anyone
know
if that was random? a robbery in progress? or possibly a drug deal gone bad or
an
incident that started in a nearby bar or restaurant?
Many residents of Baltimore are comfortable knowing that because they're not
involved in drug activity or a bad domestic relationship their chances of
becoming thevictim of a violent crime are greatly reduced.
When you are a victim of crime statistics mean nothing. I was robbed at
gunpoint in 1998 right in front of my house. Coincidentally there was an
off-duty police officer parked in the garage less than 50 feet from my home at
the time. When I ran to his vehicle after the incident he was reluctant to get
involved. When I told a few friends about being robbed, one responded, "I
remember the first time I got mugged." as if he was meant, '"Welcome to the
club."

I agree, this is totally distressing. I suppose that we should be prepared or
should we hope for the "blue light camera" invasion of Charles Village.
