County Executive Steve Schuh said Thursday he will declare a public health emergency as soon as next week in response to a "heroin epidemic" in Anne Arundel County."It's not like it was back in the old days. That drug is not just sort of in pockets in the gritty urban neighborhoods in minority communities," Schuh told the BWI Business Partnership."It's everywhere, it's north, south, east, west … you name, it's there. It's every racial type, every income level. It's absolutely everywhere. And it's going to get worse if we don't go after it in a very serious way."- See more at: http://www.capitalgazette.com/maryland_gazette/ph-ac-gn-bwischuh-0122-20150122,0,2786891.story#sthash.qqNjGewA.dpuf

Oh no one (that you know of, Mr. Executive) of my rich constituent's kids in Annapolis or Severna Park is on heroin that's just not possible EPIDEMIC.

the solution is more arrests & prosecutions, mandatory penalties for "repeat offenders" which has worked amazingly in the past and made us feel very good because 10 years in DOC will cure anyone's heroin addiction, right? i was also disgusted to read that harford county is sending a narcotics detective to every overdose call, which is sure to motivate more people to run away rather than calling 911. best practices.

Nice. I saw a typically vociferous Britney Girl comment on an aacpd facebook post a few days ago. I don't even remember what it was. Something about catching a robber in Laurel maybe? Anyway, it made me smile.

fish or click bait (how's life) wrote this on thread rolling "Is This Racist?" thread on board I Love Everything on Apr 20, 2015For the past couple of weeks, one of my facebook friends (a high school buddy's spouse) has been posting up updates or comments like "they're not racist, they're just BAD POLICE. there are white police shooting black kids, black police shooting black kids, black police shooting white kids. why does everybody have to keep bringing race into this?" I've been biting my tongue pretty hard because she's my friends wife and like, I'm going to be charitable and imagine they are in disagreement about this already and hopefully having fights at home about it, but holy fuck.

I just defriended this chick because her fb posts have escalated into full-on shrieking "al sharpton don't you dare come to my city with your race baiting" and "now that the national guard is here, they won't be as patient with you as the baltimore pd has. if you don't get in line you will get shot!" I was all like, ok high school friend's wife whatever, but I really got no time for this shit.

i feel better about people who are outwardly racist today than i do about ppl go to baltimore unless they have to suddenly "disgusted" at the "violence" and posting things like thishttps://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/11113773_965056346867280_2984175839281298353_n.jpg?oh=1d3a6c7cef65106890ba4338e4447bd7&oe=55E4467F&__gda__=1436136355_c43d526f18502e108447c392bed96e71like, it's a picture of buildings whose owners pay no property taxes, in the part of baltimore built for white ppl to feel safe in, that is now being patrolled by national guard. and you love police. it is so peaceful.

Feel so sick
― 龜, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 12:57 (eight years ago) link
my neighborhood (like most neighborhoods) was totally unaffected as far as i know, therefore i am sick of people urging me and others to "stay safe", but i was still not able to sleep because i feel so bad about what happens here & everywhere. sirens kept me up and they never do.

i couldn't go to sleep last night either. teachers of my acquaintance were posting crazy things on facebook. i wish people could just refrain sometimes. also, buildings are not the city, you know? the people are the city. people can only live without justice for so long.

and yeah, i kept thinking last night how the words "be safe" sound either loving or reprehensible depending on who's saying it

Turns out white people from Severna Park down to Annapolis all secretly really loved Their City Baltimore right up until yesterday. Huh.

xp: "be safe" like a hundred times in the comments every time a local news story would post about county cops going into bolster the city cops.

Somebody on twitter pointed out that curfew effectively means baltimore is a sundown town
― 龜, Thursday, 30 April 2015 12:17 (eight years ago) link
bit of a stretch. the curfew is city wide. even my whitebread neighborhood becomes a ghost town at 10.

― how's life, Thursday, 30 April 2015 13:16 (eight years ago) link
i’m saying the city effectively shuts down across the board at 10 and that is not really what a sundown town is. like, yeah, i see how you can maybe bend it that way, but it’s an imperfect analogy at best.
