Reply to Baltimore police investigate 39 rideshare carjacking, robbery cases since November by ThatguyfromBaltimore

WJZ is reporting that a carjacked woman was raped by a juvenile, and that people are being forced into their trunks. Not sure why The Banner left these details out of their reporting.

Reply to Is it just me or is Baltimore a bad city for late night food? by word_vomiter

Pandemic really ruined a lot. Broadway Diner no longer being open 24 hours every day is brutal (used to love going there after getting off work late or some weekday drinking). There's the Korean places in Station North that are usually open after the bars close but the service is pretty spotty.

It's a vicious cycle- less people going out because nothing is open late, but nothing is open late because less people are going out on weekdays.

Well, it’s kind of hard to compare, because Bates has a 20-page explainer on his ideas of what to do and how to do it, complete with charts and statistics and addressing topics that range from firearms possession to vacant housing to drug court. So I’ll post a link to that. Meanwhile, I’ll just copy and paste Mosby’s crime plan here because it’s so brief and generic, and this is the only thing I can even find on her campaign site that talks about fighting crime rather than police or reducing sentences:

https://www.batesforbaltimore.com/_files/ugd/fd0924_ddf2d274c66c4eb49d0fa71ea720ff50.pdf

“In the past seven years, the State’s Attorney’s Office has maintained a 90% conviction rate on average for violent offenses, an average 88% conviction rate for mandatory minimum eligible cases, and a 92% conviction rate for violent repeat offenders, all of which matches or surpasses the conviction rates of her predecessors over the ten years prior to her taking office. Mosby has aggressively focused her prosecutors on targeting violent criminals by creating a Gun Violence Enforcement Division that targets violent criminals and the totality of their activities rather than just their violent acts, and a Criminal Strategies Unit that uses data and long-term intelligence gathering in partnership with BPD detectives to target the most heinous criminals in our city.”

Reply to I need shoulder surgery (Bankart labrum tear repair). Has anyone else in the sub had/talked to someone who's had this procedure done in Baltimore/the wider DMV area? Looking for recommendations for orthopedic surgeons who specialize in shoulders. by cheesewitche

Regardless of who you go with:

  1. Your surgeon will not know the extent of your injury until he/she is in there with a scope. Imaging gives an idea, but the reality is often different.
  2. Get an interscalene block before surgery for post-op pain control. Shoulder surgery pain is intense and difficult to control.

Good luck from an anesthesiologist (can't make recommendations as I no longer work in the area).

Oh I understand. Again not throwing shade. I'm all for people organizing how they want to and helping out communities.

ETA It is truly amazing to me how people in any group (religions, political parties, etc.) get demonized nowadays from "the other side". I hope we can all come together somehow to face our common problems.

I've been living in Brooklyn, NY for ~20yrs. Been lurking on this sub because my partner and I are planning to move down to Bmore soon. What us everyone's thoughts on Pigtown?.....
