Light Rail? Huh? We have light rail in Bel Air? Does Dundalk? Is your comment to be a sarcastic knock on crime in Baltimore County after the Light Rail went in? Just asking.

Are you saying the light rail caused the blunt force trauma? I didn't think so. Just checking.
I'd like to hear more about the incident before making conclusions. Was there a fight? Was this self-defense? Was it pre-meditated? Was there witnesses? Were there any other circumstances that could explain such a crime? The facts please, just the facts.

This thug/waste of space should get quick shot to the back of his head. Too bad we are gonna wait until he goes through the system, eats 3 meals a day on us, free clothes, utilities, tv, and maybe the occasional conjugal visit from a more alpha figure.

Belair Loser Lookout: I'm sure the high amount you pay in taxes will cover all of those luxuries. Sit down you angry internet thug!
