thread on ATM thefts in Baltimore, cannot embed because "Molotov Flicker" limits who can access her threads to reply:

Thread

MolotovFlicker Ignoring Your Questions Since 1902®

@MolotovFlicker

School police have found a stolen van with an ATM inside of it on the football field of a school in Northeast Baltimore. They found it around 12:15 p.m. This is the van someone stole from downtown Baltimore and drove into a Walgreens in Essex yesterday. The license plates match.

2:59 PM · Nov 25, 2021

Oh. You thought I wasn't paying attention to the license plate numbers. This says some things for me: (A) County police must have trailed and arrested the wrong person. (B) Clearly these folks did get away with the ATM. (C) It likely was the work of The Last Chance Bandits

My theory is that The Last Chance Bandits consists of some members of The Ching Bandits, a crime crew that outsmarted city police multiple times in 2019. The Ching Bandits seemed to enjoy dumping some of the stolen ATMs on school property in West and Southwest Baltimore.

That likely means—if these two crews consist of some same members—they grew bolder during the pandemic. Exhibit A: Police found an ATM that had been dumped on the football field by Frederick Douglass High School on Nov. 8, 2019. This was during the era of The Ching Bandits.

That ATM was taken from the Hamilton Grocery Store on Hamilton Avenue at 5:45 a.m. Additionally, these guys have favored the football field or soccer/tennis area of any public facility. Exhibit B: Police recovered an ATM near the tennis court at Leakin Park on Nov. 11, 2019.

Leon Day Park was a favorite "ATM dumping zone" for a very long time. It has a football field too. Exhibit C: Police found an ATM that the crime crew dumped in that field on Nov. 14, 2019. Exhibit D: They found another one there on Feb. 9, 2020. Pattern much?

But these guys weren't exactly picky. They sometimes dumped the ATMs along Ellicott Driveway. It was like a bad breakup. They left their boy on the side of the road and told him to get a hack home. So he did. Exhibit E: An officer happened to drive past this ATM on May 3, 2020.

I had picked up a hobby of repairing furniture during the pandemic, so I happened to go wandering into the bushes that day in search of whatever junk I could salvage and I found...another ATM. Exhibit F: Officers recovered a second ATM on May 3, 2020.

These guys had a pattern of using football fields and parks as dumping grounds in 2019 and 2020. But they grew bolder during the pandemic. Exhibit E: Environmental police found multiple ATM machines at Easterwood Park near Carver Vocational School just days later on May 7, 2020.

Where did all those ATMs come from? Well, leading up to that point there had been many brazen thefts of ATMs in the Sandtown/Harlem area. These guys were just walking in and taking the ATMs in front of corner store owners and their customers during the day.

An ATM was stolen out of Club Bar. An ATM was stolen from Gilmore Carry Out Grocery. An ATM was stolen from Fox Liquors. They said "fuck it" and left that one in the middle of Fulton Avenue though. Minutes later, they took an ATM from Uac Food Market. J&H Market was targeted too.

That's five ATMs targeted and one left behind. I don't have much free time during a workday, so I didn't venture out there to see whether police recovered four or five ATMs. Exhibit F: the math works out with four.

3 Students Killed in Michigan High School Shooting, Live Updates @ NYTimes.com, Nov. 30, 10 pm

A 15-year-old sophomore surrendered after firing a semiautomatic handgun. The dead included a 14-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl. Authorities are expected to release more details at a 10 p.m. news conference.

Here’s what you need to know:

There's a video feed to the press conference from the A.P. at the NYTimes link which I imagine you might find elsewhere if you're not a subscriber

by artappraiser on Tue, 11/30/2021 - 10:02pm

^ note the shooter used a handgun, not a rifle, so let's not drag out old memes about Democrats trying to regulate military grade automatic rifles and the NRA stopping them, shall we? That's so over! That is no longer the problem. Those owners are sportsman, comparatively, they like to shoot big guns.

The new problem is that everyone and his uncle went out and bought handguns in 2020 in perhaps the greatest handgun buying boom in history while the Geo. Floyd protests and a pandemic were going on. And now those handguns are causing death and mayhem in mass quantities across the country, especially in instances of use by the untrained. Furthermore, they are perfectly legal in most states and localities.

Who the heck is going to go in home and confiscate them? They certainly would not win re-election...

Some kind of licensing as with motor vehicles is the next step? Which would encourage a lot of parents and relatives and family who can effect things to take them more seriously? And allow police to ask to see licenses?

I see zero reasons that handgun ownership and usage should be treated any differently than motor vehicles. Zero.

by artappraiser on Tue, 11/30/2021 - 10:14pm

AND you have to have insurance to own one and to carry one? Or it gets confiscated! Doesn't matter if it's a ghost gun or one you made from a 3D printer...you better have a license and insurance.

edit to add: he injured 6 as well as killing 3 with that single handgun; you don't need an AR-15 to do that.

by artappraiser on Tue, 11/30/2021 - 10:33pm

just like a driver's license, should be a privilege, not a right:

"From 1888, when law review articles first were indexed, through 1959, every single one on the Second Amendment concluded it did not guarantee an individual right to a gun."

4 killed if you include the male suspect

lede: A suspect was shot and killed during an “exchange of gunfire” with officers responding to a domestic violence call, the police said. A 12-year-old boy and an officer were also injured

excerpts:

A 12-year-old boy, who was shot in the face, was in critical but stable condition, the police said. Another officer was also injured.

Chief Kevin Roberts of the Clayton County Police Department said at an overnight news conference that the boy, though injured, helped officers find the house where the suspect was found armed with a handgun. The suspect then fled to the back of the house, where he was met by tactical units. The police said in a statement that the suspect was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with officers.
