From what I understand there was a Morgan State event at the Recher.

That reminds me, what ever happened to Robert the shaved ape baby, who was adopted by Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden?

http://www.humorgazette.com/saddam_ape_baby.htm

Now that his adopted parents are dead, killed by the U.S. and its allies, who has taken over responsibility for Robert's care?

It was also homecoming for towson students

Authorities commented that Recher oversold tickets to Morgan event.

So rather than place responsibility with the perpetrators, blame the Recher.

All the action happened outside the Rec Room and near the Towson Circle. A pickup truck from the fire dept was hosing down sidewalks near the Rec Room and the Circle to remove blood. The Rec Room closed sometime after. midnight and the crowds headed South. There was one small fight inside the Greene Turtle which ended quickly. There was a fight outside involving the crowd that was being forced down the street , but the fight continued to move South. The police did make arrests in the 400 block but most of the violence occurred near the Rec Room. Please check your sources better before rushing to get a story out

forced down York Rd

Whatever happened to the so called increase in police presence in and around the center of Towson? The Baltimore Sun is reporting that someone was shot also. WTF?!? clean this place up

Baltimore County with the exception of the northern tier is getting to be like the city with a little more grass

Nope, the Northern tier looks like South Baltimore.

So places like Monkton,Parkton,White Hall & Baldwin look like South Baltimore.Stay down in the ghetto parts of Baltimore County.They need you as their cheerleader.

So I guess anytime there is a big crowd event, Baltimore County police should be on standby. Why do people have to fight and maim, at the drop of the hat? I would like to know the demographics of the offenders. Is Baltimore County becoming like Baltimore City??

To Steve:You sound like you know alot about the the meth trade are you a "detective".As for the "ghetto" parts,I'm referring to anything inside of 695.

The cops rushed down all near by streets towards other busy bars threatening to bring individuals to jail and yelling at everyone to leave immediately. Every time there is a small situation the cops in the Towson area make it a big situation.

Another well versed experienced Towson Student has all the answers...

The man shot in the hand was an African American male in his 20's. Source: my own 2 eyes as the police and then EMT's were attending to him. The crowd last night was very different than a normal weekend crowd.....

"The people got what they voted for."

What did they get?

A 571 % increase food stamps, overcrowded schools, a broken budget, and read the captain's quote. You might add a SS budget that is near tripling Section 8, high unemployment middle class flight. The got a new American where the flag is a symbol of controversy especially now in the Mid-East.

If you wish I could go on and on.

You don't study history too much do you? Do you have to read coloring books to get the information or is it beyond your thought process.

Take a civics lesson.

571% increase in food stamps during what period?? Local Government has nothing to do with the economy. The number of Food Stamp utilizer's has increased everywhere.

There's no Middle Class flight from BAltimore COunty and the Captain was talking about Dundalk not Towson. Big Difference....

As a Towson resident, we received an e-mail stating that due to Towson U's homecoming there would be an increased police and TU security presence in all surrounding areas. TU evidently put on a tight restriction on tailgating. We were encouraged to call 911 and the TU student hotline if we saw anyone or any home with TU students getting out of hand.

I cannot comment on the above event; but can comment on parents who come in and buy properties/rent properties for their spoiled children to come in to neighborhoods and act like idiots. Oh that's right this is a "college" town - I should move - Yes, I have been told that.

Steve ever heard of food stamp fraud?

You'd better standing on a box, too much is going over you head.

There have been bars and college crowds in Towson for many years. I remember when the drinking age was still 18 and there were even more bars in Towson. At 2:00 the streets would regularly be packed, but there was never a riot situation. The cause of this latest riot is that the Recher management scheduled the Morgan State event during Towson's homecoming weekend. How many brain cells did this take? Is this the first year of Recher's existence? Did they not realize the potential volatile situation they were contributing to? Get a clue, Recher!

Pepper spray my butt. They hoodlums need a serious tuneup with a nightstick. A three day headache, some stitches and a trip to the emergency room wil remind them what happens to those who are charged with contempt of cop of felony stupidity.

Steve, I see Joel's article struck a chord. Five comments, no tweets or posts to Facebook and one e-mail. Written in 08, things were a tad different then, remember the housing bubble.

Good commnent Moe. Well stated.

It struck a bigger chord than any of your blogs.

Things aren't any different. Food Stamp fraud is still a myth perpetuated by bitter old white bigots. It's the same thing with Voter Fraud. It started with Newt Gingrich calling the President the "Food Stamp President". Look at your biased link. The investigation was prompted by Darryl (Fast and Ffft.) Issa and Lyin' Ryan. It's all BS.

The picture is becoming clearer now. My links are a myth while yours speak the truth. See if this is a myth?

Is the U.S. Government a myth? Do you believe in the FBI?

http://www.fbi.gov/pittsburgh/press-releases/2012/huntington-woman-pleads-guilty-in-food-stamp-fraud-scheme

It's a Myth promulgated by Karl Rove and his cronies.

Now why don't you tell us the fable about how a friend of yours saw a lady (it's always a lady) use food stamps and get into a Escallade/BMW/Mercedes/Lexus etc. etc. (It's an Urban Legend)

Just like you don't acknowledge Fox News I do not accept MSNBC.

The links I posted dealt with the U.S. Government not MSNBC.

Anther point that alludes your intellect is that I never stated that everyone that is on food stamps is committing fraud, just like in this link every family does not claim children that are not their own.

http://www.examiner.com/article/illegal-aliens-get-billions-tax-credits-from-irs-for-relatives-back-mexico

In your link there is one person who was impacted. I have been approached at the Giant by people on food stamps to help them commit fraud. The cashier told me what was going on and I stopped it.

Suuuure you did.

ROTFLMAO "Alludes your intellect"

Food Stamp fraud is less than 1% of the total expenditure. It's a myth.

The mind boggling thing is with all the problems the World faces the old, bitter Tea Baggers need to fabricate problems like "Food Stamp Fraud" and "Voter Fraud". Notice too how these always try to pick on what they perceive to be the weakest subset of society.
