District Heights man shoots, wounds intruder

I have been a Harford County substitute teacher for over a year. EVERY discipline issue involves a male black child. School officials tell me that when parents are notified, they don't seem to care. Logic would suggest that this attitude of defiance & "I don't care" has produced thugs like those 4 in the theater.

I agree, there are good and law abiding black people as many as white people. But black people defend the actions of thereblack brothers, just like the whites do. You better realized now that we live in a corrupt society. It will change, but we will not be around to see it.

Okay everyone spell check would be nice. I think it's pitiful no matter what race that we're still arguing over basic human rights issues. Those feeling disenfranchised will never get what they want by violent means, and those ignoring those who are disenfranchised are living in a dream. Basically, it's called the lowest common denominator, we're only as good as the worst among us. So in order to escape the hell that ALL of us have created, we must work together. Those that feel disenfranchised must explain in clear terms what they want, need, and feel and the other side has to listen. There is a unilateral pride issue that is keeping the sides apart. Clearly no one wants to be seen as begging for something they feel entitled to, but reality says that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and majority hating tactics just doesn't work. If we keep going in this way, an all out civil war will break out. It's time to stop the hating.

You Know its funny Educated Black woman ...Because I feel like going postal on people like you all the time, And people like you are just as racist as anybody, Hell your comments prove that as far as not holding the door do you think ALL whit women get the door held for them, Actually The african American Community is FAR more Racist than White people, Hell It is called Keeping it real when blacks hates whites, yet when whites hate blacks you call it racsicm, Nice Double standard just like Afirmitive action which is and always will be a joke..Just like you

Baltimore City is a sewer. Vote with your feet: leave ASAP.

No, idiot, that is clearly not what I meant. Let me rephrase it for a not-so-smart person like yourself. When black people who are trying to do the right thing and performing just as well as their White co-workers, but just don't seem to get a break - what else are they supposed to think? The key word was THINK! In reality there are all sorts of reasons, but after reading comments such as these.... You imagine how it feels for me to even shop in a not even upscale store such as Kohl's. Because of people's comments, all sorts of things run through my mind even though I try not to let them. What sort of thoughts? Let's see...I guess that that man just hold the door for me because I'm black. I guess that if I make one grammatical error, then who knows what these white people will think. Oh no, I didn't wear my wedding ring and now these white people will think I'm just another Black woman having children out of wedlock. Nice life huh?

Wow, how shocking. Four black males commit a crime that is violent, animalistic in nature and completely unnecassary. And liberals as well as blacks continue to aks why blacks are on the bottom level of society? hmm I wonder why that is. Oh yeah, "racism", I forgot.

I get so tired of reading comments of the majority race complain about incidents from a racial standpoint and then wonder why Black people always think they cannot advance in society because of their race. I am a 27 year old Black woman who will be receiving my M.D. in May and I, at times, feel like going postal on some White people. Guess what! Many of us are educated, married, have less than 3 children, can speak proper English, name our children biblical names (yes, my son's name is James, not deuwayne). I don't watch Jerry Springer and think that ALL white people are missing teeth and live in trailers, so if you are so smart, don't generalize based on what you read or hear. Black people have a problem with the crime too. News is news. Regardless of what the races are, it was a very unfortunate event. Who knows, maybe you'll be relying on one of us gun-carrying baby machines when you get sick. Let's hear the slurs then.

hmm I wonder what color these folks are that moved in.Sounds white to me.Upper class in linthicum?Where?If we stop the give give give.Most of your own race would suffer since whites are the majority collecting welfare.The news is filled with black inter city crimes however the crimes commited by white barley make the news.More talk about a football player dog fighting that those sick white people who kid knap and torturred that black girl.Note:The black kids cursing on the bus stop may fight and kill each other but I guess your white kid swill shoot or blow the school up??Or maybe a federal building.Or maybe you will leave your kids in a car your drown them in a tub.Oops just a new news stories from crimes commited by white people.

Follow the laws or move out. Call 911 and or the county if needed on laws. Educate your self and take your neighborhood back legally.

Check with your county web and code enforcement offices on the laws to see if possible violations are occurring.

How many live in the home, are they related? There are boarding house laws.

There are only a handful of section 8, not free in the state. Anyone know how many? May I suggest calling 911 over the pit bull and noise, suspected drug activity if needed. Did the landlord register with the renters registration program? Check it out, landlord may be in violation.

I live in a white upper class area in linthicum. We have two home owners that decided to move to PA and go section 8 on there properties. Guess who moved in and dont give a damn about there property. We now have thumping bass music you can hear a block away..A neighbors little dog was just killed by a pitbull, We walk in the evening and you have to hear trash talk from there mouths and there stereos and there kids use profanity at the bus stop in the mornings. Thanks to the states "move the city to the county program" and im being nice with words, My home that I worked so hard to maintain is loosing more and more value each day while someone else gets a free ride thanks to our system of give give give.

Gangs are every where the feds track them. You are in lala land if you think it cant effect you. Free detox for the narc, at a nice resort with a pool. 911 is anonymous. As for having children his is not China and have as many as you want land of the free and the American dream.

I would like to take my own vegance on these punks they dont deserve the air to breath

Blacks are commiting violent crimes yes (mostley against each black)fact 1 but so are whites.Our white ran county slaughter thousands each day for oil , drugs and money.fact 2 Look at the facts Tom.The facts are that Harford is a majority white county.A few thugs in Edgewood kill each other yes.What about the other violent crimes in Harford?Rapes mostley white petifiles mostley white.In addition to the whites driving to Edgewood in their fancy cars from the upidy parts of the county to buy crack from these Edgewood drug dealers.I know we see this but we are in denial.Oh wait I guess powder cocaine is the drug of choice and not crack I'm a white male in my mid thirtys.Lets open our eyes and see the truth not just want we want to see. On another note.I agree 100% when these thugs get killed themselves their family try to portray them as good guys.They find old middle school photos and not the ones with gang tattoos on them etc . Also look at these guys wrap sheets.

Have you had enough yet? The police can't protect you they are only there to take the report after the attack. Luckly the man survived this time, but will the next victim these thugs size up be able to see his family again. Change the CCW laws to give 1 against 4 a chance to protect himself and his family.

Had he shot, and killed all of them, the family would have found pictures of the tugs when they were in elementary school, and posted it all over the news. Saying look at what that man did, he shot my little deuwayne.......lets have a candle light vigil....for deuwayne..

maybe there would be money for things if these parents stopped having 50 kids....when they know they cant take care of them. Then you would have money for services...Stop blaming others, because they don't want to live in the city...Last we checked this is a democratic society, where you can live where you like..That's the great thing about living in Pennsylvania, these thugs cant/won't commute this far. Why should we have to pay additional taxes, so bertha can stay at home with her 50 kids........and dress up in gucci... in Pennsylvania when they commit crimes, we STICK IT TO THEM GOOD. YALL HAVE A GOOD DAY NOW..YA HEAR..

That is a GREAT point. If this had been a black man beaten by four white teens It would have made national news.

I agree..Where are those two race hustlers now..There only there to defend there own. A hate chrime is a hate chrime no matter what color you are.

Where al-Sharpton and jessie jackson. Is a hate crime only a crime when theres 4 whites robbing a black..What about these 4 black thug punks that beat a white man..NO JUSTICE

The federal judge who mandated "move to opportunity," encouraging thug families from the City to move to surrounding counties deserves impeachment and I will consider a column on this horrible practice of MTO. Yes, the Sun has no excuse for not printing the race of suspects. Harford should adopt zero tolerance and show these thugs that the county is not open for business like Baltimore City is now. Race is irrelevant in terms of enforcement of crimes, though stastically one race commits dramatically more violent crime than all other races combined. That's a real problem as is gangs becoming this emboldened. Harford should take this as a wakeup call and start a New York-style zero tolerance model. This works, especially when combined with youth education programs, training programs, and drug detox programs. But gangs need to be addressed by arresting members and throwing the book at them. Otherwise, yes, Harford will become a playground for gangs.

I'm certain they are four welfare recipients from before they were born. Thanks to the Great Society and to liberal policies.Perhaps this family needs State Police protection like that provided for the Governor.

5 Examiner Readers said: so Stop whining and pick up the phone. 911 is anonymous, pure lazy to not call and turn in the dealers and gangs. Living in fear is like not living at all.

Housing costs are rising and the poor are displaced to the burbs. Maybe the people in the burbs should realize you can't run away from your problems. The folks in the burbs come into Baltimore City to use our services ( museums, inner harbor, theaters, etc) So, they should share the taxes and support the infrastructure. If they supported our infrastructure and helped by paying a fee to use these services, perhaps crime would be in control because Baltimore City could afford to pay for more police.

So, crime happens outside Baltimore City too? At Least the Examiner reports it, some TV stations prefer to lead people to believe crime only happens within the limits of Baltimore City.

What is all the griping about? According to the map appended to the article, all of this activity took place in the southern part of England. That is all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Stop worrying about crime overseas and focus on the issues here at home.

Don't blame the poor boys. They are black and are just acting out their forefathers' anger at slavery. Right.

Let's see, with the liberals in power we get higher taxes, higher crime and still have no right to arm ourselves to protect ourselves and families from attacks by criminals. Wow, what a great state. Aren't all you folks who voted for O'Malley and his band of liberals proud of yourselves? Remember, when O'Malley goes out in public he has a state police officer or two with him to protect him and his family. Legislators have no problem getting a gun permit. You, John Q. Citizen, on the other hand, pay all of the freight to support this government and are afforded no guarantee of protection from the police and are not allowed to arm yourself. Unless things turn around here in the Old Line State pretty soon, I believe I'll be heading across one of those old lines permanently.

get ready it will get much much worse. the crime in baltimore is wideing and with dixon in office for 4 yr.she to soft on crime its not heading our way its here.

As the prices of homes go up in Baltimore city, and more areas are redeveloped into prime real-estate in the city, where do you think those displaced people are going to go? As families look at the crime in Baltimore, and can't see that maybe their children are some of those criminals - in a bid to save them, where do you think they are going to go? They are going to the suburbs! It will be funny to see that Baltimore City will be the safest locale 10 years from now, and the crime will be raging out of control in the suburbs. The suburban resources won't even know what hit them, or how to handle what is going to happen to their communities. The best bet is to work WITH Baltimore to combat this problem. Not keep that us vs. them mentality, it will only hurt the suburbs in the future.

There had to be more people in the theater watching the same movie as the family that was victimized. Oh…they don’t want to get involved because they fear for their own safety! However, they enjoyed the fruits of the gentleman’s courage when he asked the rude movie goers to be quite. And we really wonder who is going to change the violent atmosphere coming to our counties?

You think this problem is only in Harford County?Look at Howard and other counties surrounding Baltimore City.The bottomline is crime is like a virus..it streads all over.Untill Baltimore City gets under some sort of order or controll we will continue to have crime and violence in our counties.I live in Edgewood I'm a hard working tax paying black male who's a home owner.My neighbors are white and also hard working home owners.This is simply blowing up in a lot of people faces.You sit back in your homes in the burgs and say this not my problem this not our problems.This is what happens these are the results.It's a Maryland problem

911 is anonymous, pure lazy to not call and turn in the dealers and gangs. Living in fear is like not living at all.

Every neighborhood has crime, Sleeping Giants, and more will come if you do not turn in the dealers. 911 is anonymous and you all suspect the drug houses. You have eyes and ears. Drugs support terror hear and abroad. Wake up and give up the addresses to 911.

Congratulations Examiner. Now the citizens of Baltimore have a newspaper that has the gonads to actually print the race of the criminals. The other "newspaper" in town doesn't mention the perps race (unless of course the victim is black and the perps are white) because after all, that wouldn't be politically correct would it? If caught, the perps should seek a trial in Baltimore City where they will no doubt be released back on the streets because they are really good boys who are just misunderstood.

Maybe if Maryland was a "Shall Issue" state (like 37 other states, then the outcome would have different.

"99% chance these trash were from Edgewood" Totally false.The thugs in Edgewood rob, beat and kill each other.I totally disagree.

I challange every good, tax paying Harford county citizen to band together and stop this before we become the next city of Baltimore. When one can no longer feel safe takint their family to a movie theater, what's next? Food store? I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to let thugs take over my County. We the people have to unite against evil or evil will win.

Gangs are the issue, turn in the dealers, this is all drug related domino effect, the war on terror is stoped with getting rid of the drugs that they fund there operations with home and abroad. Illegal drugs mostly come from other countries with not so nice gangs. By not turning in the dealers you all support terror groups, 911 is anonymous.

You failed to mention the race of the victim. Was he white? If so, isn't this a race based crime? Any comment from the NAACP? If 4 white males attacked a black man, the NAACP would be screaming. NAACP is for colored people...White is the absence of color..... there my friend is the difference.

Does it matter what color this victim is or what color the thugs that beat him.I was just at that place on Sunday with my wife and 3 little girls.Remember a thug is a thug no matter what color they are and these thugs need to be caught and punished.If I was this guy..I'd file the largest lawsuit against this movie theater.With the ticket prices and 4 bucs for a small soda they should be able to afford some security.BTW...They did say this victum lived in Edgewood so he possible could have been black

What's going on in Harford county lately? 99% chance these trash were from Edgewood and out looking to destroy the rest of the county too.

Well, that's one county theater we won't be going to anymore. So much for safety. Poor video quality? Looks like the one in Churchville will the only county theater for us, since the proposed Aberdeen multiplex construction is still nothing but dirt.

ill bet they were from edgewood

E: "Investigators reviewed security camera footage from the theater, but the video quality was too poor to get additional descriptions, Presberry said." Then what good is it to have security cameras?

>Re: Police seek bank burglar in boxers< Headline omits the fact that the burglar was wearing a white blazer jacket. Was there a dress code at the restaurant he had robbed previously?

Where was this incident?
