They have to be breaking in your home with the intent to commit a felony.

If the person is entering your home because they have permission or think they have permission, it debatable if you can attack them.

I'm no financial advisor, but I feel like that is an expensive nonsensical move.

I wasn't talking about crime. Comment was re: beauty and growth of Pittsburgh.

I got about an hour 40 last summer. Depends how busy court is that day.

now THIS is what Baltimore is all about

"I'm not covered in Glitter. She is off on Thursdays."

lol. I would never do that. Never. Some body might. BUT not me. You offering?

I’m surprised that more carjackers aren’t shot, and I wonder if that would change with SYG, or it’s because of our concealed carry laws.

Only until the lease is up in 2026

Ideally I’d want a hybrid model. In my house, stand your ground. On the street, duty to retreat. If I’m out grabbing food & some fool comes at me, I’m gonna first try to exit stage left. If I can’t, bang. Same fool comes thru my door at 3am, I’m not asking questions, I’m protecting my kids & myself.

I’m outraged you haven’t gotten more upvotes on this.

Like the old lady at the Jewel Box once said, “you gotta pay if you wanna get laid”.

I think it will be flight from high CoL urban centers. Should actually be a boon for places like Baltimore. Becuase now people who want the job in Manhattan and the city life can do that job remotely in a cheaper city like Baltimore.

Hell yea dude

“Juror number 9 why are you covered in glitter?”

Wow. My guy is only thinking bout that civic booty.

My typing always gets horribly spell checked on these things. Please bear. Here’s a quick link. Obvious bias from Texas, but it is still something similar to what I’ve seen before. https://www.medlinfirm.com/blog/has-texas-open-carry-law-increased-gun-crimes/

Have you considered arson?

Unfortunately I'm in Porter's zone. She's worthless. Less than worthless really. I called her office about above ground pools at abandoned houses over the summer. Literal cesspools filled with mosquitoes and dead rats. I got fined. Nothing happened to the pools. I think she and her group take the "spam 311" approach on people who complain.

I called 311 about the trash. So far no fine. The house is owned by the state. Do they care about fines? I'm friends with the neighbors. BUT at this point people know if you call 311 here you get yourself fined.

>I have Jury Duty this Thursday and in the past I’ll hit up The Block for a couple beers and boobs during the two hour lunch break.

And you're wondering why the crowd is "sad"? My man it is you.

I'd much prefer SYG. While running away is obviously the best solution in nearly every instance, I really despise the idea that, even if you're attacked and defend yourself, if someone with a stick up their ass thinks you could have ran you can still get screwed by the law. DTR is bassakwards.

I like the intent of DTR, but I feel like it gives the State too much leeway to prosecute.

Yes, but what to do with limited resources and infinite need? I worked with a juvenile who had been incarcerated ten times in the year before his most atrocious crime. He will serve life, likely in mental health treatment, which is warranted, but he’ll never be rehabilitated.

Obviously treatment is preferred to punishment, but based on my observations, there is ample evidence to prove that a purely restorative model is unrealistic, too.

>Pandora will keep its nearly 90,000 square feet in Baltimore, expanding its North American office footprint with its Times Square deal.

The 4th sentence in the article.
