I don't know anything about Jayne Miller (investigative reporter for WBAL) but I guess the sense that - ty97 Apr 30, 19:04 2
- She has been the best local TV reporter in Baltimore for 30 years, especially the crime beat -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 19:08 1
  - Yeah, if she was 30 miles southwest; she'd probably be national since NBC 4 DC is the launching pad. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 30, 19:09
And there's the first WTF? fan reaction -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 19:02

Second passenger in Freddy Gray van didn't even know he was on the other side -- (link) - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 18:45 15
- I assume reporters did their dude diligence, but yesterday wasn't the "other guy" a 38 year old arrested for violating a protective order - ty97 Apr 30, 18:56 1
  - dude diligence. heh. (you know what I mean) -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 18:57
- That report yesterday smelled like bull immediately. A few reporters were questioning it and knew it was crap. - Krusty Apr 30, 18:50 12
  - But in the article linked above he says he "told homocide that" - IrishStephen Apr 30, 18:54 11
    - There is a huge difference on the streets between the homicide detectives and the beat cops - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 18:56 10
      - Ok.... but he still backs up the statement that he told homocide that he heard someone banging their head... - IrishStephen Apr 30, 18:58 9
        
        I think from the Post story it wasn't actually his statement, but rather an officer's account of his statement. -- nm - mafic Apr 30, 19:15 4
        
        The police themselves had already stated that Gray was unresponsive before the second guy was even picked up -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 19:23
        
        Right, but he's not denying that that is what he told Homicide... - IrishStephen Apr 30, 19:23 2
        
        seems to refute the 'he was intentionally trying to injure himself' part at least. -- nm - mafic Apr 30, 19:30 1
        
        ...in what way? -- nm - IrishStephen Apr 30, 19:32
        
        WTH? Homicide.... - IrishStephen Apr 30, 19:00
        
        Well, he heard banging. Unless he has x-ray vision he has no idea what (or who) was causing the banging. -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 18:59 2
        
        True. But "didn't know Gray was there..." /= he didn't hear anything when he goes on to say that he told Homicide that he did hear banging. - IrishStephen Apr 30, 19:05 1
        
        I have no idea how hard you need to throw yourself and won't conjecture. - ty97 Apr 30, 19:28

The Bucks might lose. -- nm - budice Apr 30, 17:45 1

- Nah. - Roger More Apr 30, 17:57 3
  - He should absolutely have known better. Yes. - Strongbad Apr 30, 17:58 2
    - But why? Because it's distasteful? Plenty of other unscrupulous stuff happens on Survivor. - Roger More Apr 30, 18:00 1
      - A smart person would have ... - tobor.2 Apr 30, 18:09
- Agreed. I thought that was true for a while. - Volnelk Apr 30, 17:41

- I didn't catch enough. Crab legs for me - everyone else can fend. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 17:14 2
  - I may be the odd fellow, but I prefer body meat, however a boss way of eating crab is to separate the legs with that section of body as one -- nm - z on the go Apr 30, 17:25 1
    - Yeah, crack the bottom and rip the legs/body out in one shot. That's how I do it. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 17:49

Anyone else have those neighbors that have a garage sale seemingly every weekend or so once the weather warms up? - Cuzzin Todd Apr 30, 16:12 12
- nope. most cities here have rules, and people seem pretty good about it. iirc, it's 2-4 per year and no more than 4 days each. - b. Apr 30, 16:27 4
  - I assume there's some city ordinance that sets the mximum number of sales you can have a summer or something. But do I want to be "that" guy? - Cuzzin Todd Apr 30, 17:16 3
    - depends on the reason you would report. traffic/parking issues or the like, sure. -- nm - b. Apr 30, 17:20 2
