Often during the warmer months these guys drive in packs of 10 or so. <BR/><BR/>Remember what happened to that Sun reporter, Carl Schoetttler who stopped to exchange info after a fender bender just outside city hall. He was severely beaten and robbed, and at least one of the suspects escaped in a "courtesy shuttle" operated by one of our fine strip joints. Fortunately, that driver went to jail, eventually, for "not snitching".<BR/><BR/>By the way, after I wrote that blog, I was on my way westbound on Cold Spring when a trailbike without tags did a wheely and pulled right in front of me, cutting me off. After a blast from my car's horn, I was given a one-fingered salute. He had to stop for a red light, like I did, and zoomed away before it turned green saluting me again.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't help but wonder that some day he'll give the finger to another fella who doesn't like to be disrespected. Our stats will then increase by one. Baltimore is drenched in a culture of in-your-face, street violence, and being macho and tough.buzoncrimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222344932427990980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764429864871986236.post-9919098889418343532008-01-08T10:13:00.000-05:002008-01-08T10:13:00.000-05:00Your blog has made for interesting reading so far....Your blog has made for interesting reading so far. I especially agree with what you said about dirtbikes. A cab driver once told me that if you have an accident involving a group of thugs on dirtbikes you should just keep driving and call it in to the police once you've gotten away. He said that anyone who gets in a crash with them is likely to get beaten or shot, and that you're better off risking a hit & run charge.ppatinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016738612222736798noreply@blogger.com
