What the Hell is Going on Around Here?
Last Week: Armed Robbery in Chesterfield
Yesterday: Shooting at a Wendy's near Marley Station
Today: Officer shot, bank robber killed in Severna Park
Can anybody explain what is going on? Why all of a sudden there has been an explosion of violent crime in Northern Anne Arundel County. All at a time when, as we discuss in this week's podcast, Annapolis seems intent on being softer on most criminals.
What is happening? What is causing this? And how do we stop it? (The last answer is easy to come up with; the question is whether or not people have the political will to do it).

That's what happens when you elect bad politicians. Or maybe global warming is making people crazy.
Chances are, the criminals in these incidents are repeat offenders. The Anne Arundel County Judiciary mirrors their counterparts in the criminal friendly big three (Baltimore, PG and Montgomery). So, this is a result of crimes being committed by persons (and I use that term lightly) who likely should still be incarcerated. Along those lines, when offenders are used to receiving light sentences, the deterrent factor is reduced significantly.
Until more information is made available, the Severna Park case reeks of "suicide by cop" ... in any case I wouldn't consider it a crime wave by any means.
