Baltimore Boondoggles -- Dubious Distinctions -- A Spectacle To The World
In this new ongoing series, we will highlight some of the more embarrassing news stories coming out of Baltimore. The kinda stories that quickly become the only perception many in the rest of the country have of Baltimore.
What a way to be known;
Last count, there were nearly 300 articles nationwide on Mayor Sheila Dixon's indictment. And we thought this was "just Baltimore hon"
Then there's Michael Phelps deal. That kept coming back to Baltimore too.
The girl who beat her school teacher, then beat the charges.
And in a bit lesser known story that didn't grow quite the legs it should, we learned that a Baltimore snitch of all people (I know, I know, couldn't resist) is largely responsible for getting the whole baseball steroid controversy going (see earlier blog entry)
Baltimore oh Baltimore...

MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.
In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
A.F. James MacArthur -- American patriot & lover of liberty.
