You act like wanting to feel safe when a murder happened outside your building is a bad thing. I think we can all agree that BPD doesn't do shit, but don't hate on people's desire to feel safe in their homes.

Ever since that stupid guy with a bat got shot by a squeeze kid there has been a BCPD SUV parked on the sidewalk at that intersection 24/7. They don’t do anything. Just sit in their car to make the rich people in the fancy apartment building feel better.

How do you know they weren’t on lunch?

Right? Wtf is wrong with people…

Nobody is denying the reality of violence in the city just because we don't agree with what OP is describing as an encounter with a serial killer. OP's story had no details beyond a a couple minutes of interaction with a person in a park who they didn't even have a full conversation with.

>Or maybe that particular landlord simply got too small of a unit and/or hired a crappy installer who cut corners?

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

Wow those stories are riveting … and terrifying. Hopefully someone murdered that creep before he kidnapped anyone

If this is Patterson Park, there were a series of robberies over the summer and police have increased patrols inside as a result. There are worse places for them to take a break?

I completely agree they should be out interacting, and maybe they do have too many patrol cars I honestly haven't looked into it and am not familiar with the ratio, but to say they should have less than enough to transport every cop is ridiculous to me

Wow... That went from 0 to 100 very quickly. I was simply pointing out that not everyone is a murderer here, but YES there are murderers. You must live a very comfortable, sheltered life to think that any person acting strange is a killer. Or, maybe you just left a lot of info out of your story?? Don't have to be a dick about it.

They have too many vehicles. There should be more officers on foot patrol. They should not be in their cars hanging out with each other in the back of parking lots playing on their phones/computers. They should be interacting with the general public and getting to know people.

That's not potentially controversial, it flat out just doesn't make sense. I'd understand if they have too many vehicles to get rid of some, but to say you'd rather there not be enough is idiotic and makes no sense

Oh, yuck. My bad x infinity.

Potentially controversial thought: I think they need to reduce the number of patrol cars so that there are more officers than patrol car capacity. That way they have to walk around and interact with Baltimoreans in a non-shooty manner.

This sub can't deal with reality. It's comical.

Thanks! Nice that someone believes me here.

btw, another user had a similar scary encounter in Dundalk MD:

You must be very stupid to deny the violence that occurs in the city. I only posted this account years after it happened, and i saw a lot of stuff while there including a murder. But keep going, it could be tomorrow something bad happens. I have seen enough druggies, weirdos to know this was not it.

LOL....title is all wrong.

Woman makes more sense and sounds better.

Typical Baltimorean. In denial about the city's problems. This is why I left and never looked back!

I think you need to go to a dictionary and look up the definition of a serial killer, well even "killer" for that matter. A scary guy in a park hold some random objects while trying to engage you does not make him a serial killer, nor any killer for that matter. Oh, and that whole thing about the killer feeding his victims to others at his local butcher shop is just an urban legend. Good grief.

There are all kinds of freaks like this in Bodymore, Murderland. Glad you made it out of there.

I believe Tree House Cafe is hosting a watch party in Hampden - it’s a non-bar venue, so may be sobriety-friendly. And it’s a block away from Charmery if the kids get restless!
