2 people fatally shot at Arundel Mills Mall

[Markp]

Be careful what you ask for......

Wife wouldn't do that, she knows I would be asking for something more like this:

 

[smokey]

Really?

Really. Facts are facts. Find me an area with a high density of african americans in md that's low in crime. Now find areas that are mostly white that are low in crime. Which task is easier? If the observation of truth makes you angry, volunteer with "at risk" youth groups, help build sports parks, help with education and college scholarship programs. It's not racist to say things that are true. It is racist to deny things because you may hurt someone's feelings. Describing good neighborhoods based on how "white" they are may be poor political correctness...but you don't have to think too much to understand the intent.

If you live down the street from the mall you are fine. Thats actually a pretty safe area. You caught some P.G. spill over violence and then it ended in P.G. where it started. Every area in the capitol region is going to get P.G. spill over violence no matter where you are. Gaithersburg/Germantown which is even further away even gets it.

If you like the area no need to move due to one incident. Think of the people in the area where they had the Amish school shooting. Thats an insanely safe area, you can't move just because of an isolated incident.

And if you live in P.G. near that area where the cops shot the guy.............well yeah I suggest you move haha

you dont live here so dont tell me its safe, 1 street up from me a guy was shot walking down the street. Im not worried about pg. Baltimore's garbage is 8 miles up 295.

Awesome! That's two.

Thanks for the advise.

Four break-ins, on Front Street, in the last month. Two armed robberies at the Post Office and the bank robbed, but you're correct, all is quiet at the Casino.

Are you saying the casino and the rash of break ins are connected????

 

[Mason-Dixon Baseball]

I looked up his record:

Docket Text: Counts: (1) Robbery Deadly Weapon (2) Robbery (3) 1st Degree Assault (4) 2nd Degree Assault (5) Use Of Handgun In Commission Of A Crime Of Violence (6) Robbery Deadly Weapon (7) Robbery (8) 1st Degree Assault (9) 2nd Degree Assault (10) Use Of Handgun In Commission of a Crime Of Violence (11) Conspire To Commit Robbery Deadly Weapon fld. 423.

And that's just one arrest... He has a previous trial for possessing a stolen firearm, underage possession of a regulated firearm, theft over $500....

At least the MD approved hand gun list ensured he had stole a quality firearm.

Weeelllll- he won't be doing any of that again... Sad thing is two people had to be killed before this "good kid" was locked up or, better yet, eliminated....

ehh, too tired and don't want to further derail thread and make paul's job harder. Either people believe their eyes and ears and think objectively, basing groups and individuals by their own actions or they live in fantasy land where things are what they think they should be. I'll leave it at that and apologise to the OP'er for the thread drift.

I'm sure there's more white trash in this country than there is black trash... Judge the individual fairly.

Between the economy and the casino. It's a published fact that as soon as a casino moves in to an area: crime, divorce, suicide, gambling addiction, and bankruptcy rates all go up. It's the "dirty little secret" everyone overlooks to get at the money from the profits that the casino offers. They promised the fire department new trucks, the police new cars, and above all, promised all the Moms that their children wouldn't lose thier education if they would just vote to have the casino come to town. All of the local politicians salivated at the profits like junkies over a mound of dope.

I have a copy of the casino's report that they offer to the municipalities when coming to their area. It was quite a few pages that brings up the notion early, and continues to repeat it, about all of the benefits the revenue will bring. The jobs, the growth, the opportunity... buried in the middle is the admition that a percentage of the population will become addicted to gambling. Their counter to that is an offer of 2 million dollars to put in a fund to educate the local population on ills of gambling addiction, and to help those that become addicted.

In the meantime, crime goes under reported because no one wants to report that they were wrong, or to kill the cash cow. They will blame the economy, the times, George Bush, whatever, but the fact remains, all the aforementioned ills of society all increase, all in the name of greed.

Settle Down Cpt. Angry My parents live in a neighborhood where every house is 600k and up. 6-7 years ago were were burglarized and my guns were stolen, 4-5 houses up a drug deal went bad and they ended up shooting a neighbor that just moved in (we didn't personally know him) right in the old ass cheek and then less then a mile away (same neighborhood) there was a shooting and they locked up a kid about 6-7 years younger than me that lived in my neighborhood (who I knew).

That is all within a 7-8 year span and in a single neighborhood. That doesn't include other burglaries and car thefts and assaults that I don't have any knowledge of. Isolated incidents boss. However you are right I don't live there and hell if you feel unsafe then your right you should move. But if you plan to live ANYWHERE in the capitol region of MD you might want to redesign your definition of "safe." Everywhere has there little issues boss unless you want to be the Geico guy and live under a rock you got to take the good with the bad. Oh and if you read the article every person involved was a P.G. resident hence why I called it P.G. spill over.

Arundle actually has some really nice areas and as a county as a whole it's really not a mini detroit. If it wasn't so far away from my work I'd think about living out there, more bang for your buck then Montgomery County.

 

[RJP3579]

They'd shit themselves if they came over today.... Shotgun not pictured... but I have one in the house.

Like the person in the article, I am also appalled especially seeing your picture. I am appalled that I don't have some of those in my collection!!!

 

[sailskidrive]

I think this incident is a prime example of how the state's poorly designed gun laws only limit the acquisition of firearms by law abiding citizens. POS's like this guy who totally disregard the law still manage to get there hands on weapons for ill intent all while upstanding and law abiding citizens can't even get a concealed carry permit. Total BS.

>>No comments allowed? What's worse is I made mine and they were taken away!

Yeah... the paper removed my comments too.


<--- Please salute the flag.

I took my Mother to the casino once for lunch and the place was dead-- granted mid afternoon... I guess I can see now what your saying-- some of the locals are stealing to go gamble it away, but I was thinking crime more from outsiders.. I don't see someone from Baltimore breaking into a house in Perryville for gambling money. I have a stinking suspicion the rash of crime is from unemployed locals looking to cash in either for drugs or gambling money. Luckily no real violence that I've heard of yet.....

 

[willtill]

I live roughly one mile east of Arundel Mills. Only go to Bass Pro VERY, VERY infrequently and probably go to DuClaws' twice as much.

That mall area is a zoo on the weekends. Traffic is packed. Don't bother to go in there on the weekends.

I liked what somebody posted in this thread a little earlier:

MTA = Moving Thugs Around

The bank got robbed by a guy from Ohio. The Post Offices were done by a hard core, pair of gun wielding types. More than likely, not locals. The break-ins look purely like local crackheads. Point being, it's a mix, or so it appears.

 

[Kilroy]

Arundel Mills is the mall I go to most of the time. When that casino opens, I will not set foot on that property ever again. That area will look like Reno, NV in 15 years. Dead.

Well I guess I'm wrong again....

 

[faze]

Guys, instead of bitching about this, how about start writing your district representative about things like this? We need the CCW law to be fixed, and we need MTA away from nice places.

"“This is just a shocking tragedy just to even know that someone can have that capacity, have an AK 47 and a shotgun. It’s just, just appalling,” a neighbor said."

... and there it is.... Hmmm I wonder what he/she means...

I think they were talking about him going after police with both weapons at once.
