From Maryland State Police:
On Friday, August 20, 2010 at 6:00 p.m., troopers from the Bel Air Barrack responded to Abingdon for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival the, 37 year old victim (who wishes to remain anonymous) of Abingdon, Md. had been stabbed at the Mean Greene Car Wash on MD Route 40 near Edgewood Road in Edgewood.
According to the victim, and an independent witness, the victim had just finished washing his car and was in the process of cleaning the interior when he was approached by two black males who asked him for a cigarette. After he told them that he did not have any cigarettes, one of the suspects brandished a switch blade and demanded the victim’s wallet. The victim handed the suspects an undisclosed sum of cash and was then stabbed twice by a suspect. The suspects then fled across MD Route 40, heading towards Edgewood Road. The victim drove to his girlfriend’s house in Abingdon where he called 911. He was transported to Sinai Hospital of Baltimore by ambulance where he was treated and released.
The first suspect is described as a black male in his early to mid 20’s, approximately six feet and 175 lbs., wearing tan shorts and a black T-shirt. The second suspect is described as a light-skinned black male in his early to mid 20’s, approximately five foot ten inches and 150 lbs., wearing a white T-shirt and light colored denim shorts.
The investigation is continuing.
this is a bunch of crap we need to bring in the national guard, we have threats on police officers, murders, strabbings , shootings this is enough
FORGET THE NATIONAL GUARD THEY HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT YOU WANT TO STOP THE CRIME THAN MAKE IT LEGAL TO CARE AND PROTECT YOURSELF AND PROPERTY.IT’S SAD WHEN CRIMINALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN US. I CAN BRAKE INTO YOUR HOUSE HURT MYSELF AND SEW YOU AND OWN YOUR HOUSE. WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THAT.
What this county needs is some good old fashion vigilantism and start shooting these detriments to society.
All in favor of any hard working taxpaying citizen to have the right to carry a handgun and shoot these cockroaches.
Enough is Enough…I live in Edgewood and fortunately don’t have this mess happening on the other side of Rt 24. I need residents to stand up and take this to the county. I’m looking for a rally and united front letting folks know my tax dollars will no longer go to fund gang and thug “hug sessions” and the criminal element has to GO..PERIOD. Stop worrying about how you look and do the right thing for those of us who work hard and try to raise our kids right. Meanwhile the housing rates are declining and you have wanna be thugs and criminals running your town and economy. And I have yet to hear about the response for an officer being assaulted. Its over and have some coconuts and do what needed to be done a long time ago…shut down the subsidized housing harboring criminals. Either that or don’t ask me for another damn dime of taxes.
AMEN!
Time to get out of here. WTH is happening?? Daylight hours on a busy road and a stabbing occurs? These fu&&king criminals have no fear. Getting to be little Baltimore City here.
But…But…isn’t it racist if we don’t like being preyed upon by these mis-understood, it’s our fault they’re that way, upstanding members of the community?
I’m sure they only stabbed the guy after he gave them the money because he didn’t like them because they’re black. If he had politely thanked them for robbing him, instead of being a racist, they wouldn’t have hurt him.
So you see, bottom line, it was the victims fault. He might not have said anything, but you KNOW he was thinking it. I hope he gets charged with a HATE CRIME !!
Thank God for the Left, they’re the only ones that know how to handle these type white on black hate crimes.
Anybody else getting tired of living in The Twilight Zone?
Please, Bruce O’H, crawl back into the primordial ooze from whence you came. No one injected racism into this until you did. Time to hang up your white sheet and go away.
This is great Bruce! You didn’t call anyone a racist. Forget all those people who are afraid to speak what they are really thinking! Long live the left!!!LMAO!!! Can’t we all get along? LOL!!!!
Your an idiot. The victim is black as well. How stupid are you? You assume the victim is white because he was attacked by two black men. There was no “white on black hate crimes”. You sound like a fool. Get your facts straight before you make this something it isn’t. I know the victim and he is most certainly a black man, so go back to your “Twilight Zone.”
Hey, it was the black guy who ” injected” race into it. If it would have been a black guy washing his car, he would have never gotten robbed.
Don’t bother hanging up your white sheet, Rachel. You continue to wear it with shame.
Billy Jack must be Shoshone! Listen children to my story…………blah, blah, blah. One tin Soldier rides away! LOL!
Rachel with all of the black on black crime that has taken place in Edgewood just this summer how can you make a statement that if they guy was black he would have never gotten robbed? Racism breeds ignorance and your post was well at least ignorant.
Say what? These turds don’t care if someone is white, black, blue, purple, or green.
That was point my Henry. It doesn’t matter what color you are if these criminals want to rob and hurt you for no reason. I am not sure how race or racism became a part of this discussion since we don’t know the race of the victim. The article simply states that he is 37 and drove to his girlfriends house in Abingdon after he was stabbed. Rachel in all of her wisdom assumed that if he was black he would have never gotten robbed. Go figure.
Once again, it was a black guy washing his car. You are all racist and ignorant.
Right. I won’t waste my breath on a more elaborate response. But let’s keep on the path we’re on…it’s working great so far! Let me guess… your a liberal and because I’m a conservative, I’m a racist. Now that we know who we are…Well, who am I to judge those who help out the criminals and assault police officers.
You are a racist because you make racist statements. It makes sense for you to judge an individual based on that individual’s behavior, but not because of the color of their skin. I condemn the criminal behavior as strongly as anyone, no excuses, and swift and painful consequences are in order. Because I happen to think a confluence of societal indicators have a causal relationship in criminal behavior doesn’t mean I think it should be prosecuted any less harshly than you. I just happen to believe we can not adjudicate our way out of the mess we are in right now.
lock em up period, 3 strikes your out
I read the paper, I know there’s no discrimination in who gets robbed in Edgewood. I was joking, really. EVERYONE is a potential victim in Edgewood. And by the way, everyone’s a little racist. (Not everyone is willing to admit it yet.) But I’m also a little racist against whites who commit crimes. It just so happens I don’t read about it in the paper as often. Trash is trash, I don’t care what color it is.
I wouldn’t label you a racist Rachel. Prejudiced and biased but not a racist.
I admit, I’m prejudiced and biased. I didn’t use to be, I can’t imagine why that has changed over time. However, I’ll state again that I wasn’t serious about if the victim was black he wouldn’t have been robbed. As you said yourself, the race of the victim was not released. It was not my intention to get into a prolonged discussion on the subject. Must be my lack of wisdom kicking in again. Would anyone else like to contribute their highly regarded personal insults? I’m sure there’s got to be someone else out there so full of theirselves that they can’t help but share their indefinite wisdom and opinion of others. Hurry up, we’re on the edge of our seats….
Rachel
I am not full of myself. I never joke about race especially when it is insulting. I “try” not to make judgments about people based on their race or the color of their skin. This isn’t a prolonged discussion about race because you simply aren’t ready for that! I didn’t find your post funny. The “N” word, calling black people animals, calling white people “white trash”, rednecks, calling Asians “slant eyes”, Mexicans “wetbacks”, Arabs “towelheads” you know, all of the names we see repeatedly on the dagger. None of that is funny to me. You have a great sense of humor and have a great day.
Rachel,
It’s easy to sink down to the level of those who want to paint all members of a certain race with the same brush.
However, if you do that, it is racism, plain and simple. The fact that there are black criminals in Edgewood doesn’t negate the fast that there are plenty of other criminals of different races in many other places. It doesn’t negate the fact that I have law abinding neighbors who are white, black and Latino.
The crime problem has nothing whatsoever to do with race. It has to do with criminals and those who aren’t doing enough to stop them.
Again, you talk as if you are full of yourself and self righteous. I don’t care if you didn’t find it funny. Lighten up. There are numerous subjects that really aren’t funny that people joke about every day. Stewart, Leno, Letterman, etc. Without humor we’d all be as miserable as you. And your right, I’m not ready for that.
Your an xxxxx. I didn’t say calling people of different races slang terms was funny. It’s not. And if you knew me you’d feel like a fool for implying that I do. Get over yourself.
You admit you are prejudiced and biased. You have no credibility. You find humor in comments that are offensive to others. You are dismal.
Unlike you, your open minded and wise. Whatever, I’m realistic and honest. I don’t pretend to not be biased and prejudicial. That doesn’t mean I’m extremely biased and prejudicial. You don’t know me. Stop pretending you do. You have a small mind, full of your own opinions.
Romans Chapter One verse 18-32
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrightheousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifested in them; for God had showed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse; Because that, when they knew God they glorified Him not as God, neither were they thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened, Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the Glory of the Uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man,and to birds, and to fourfooted beast, and to creeping things. wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts,too dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is Blessed forever… Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature; And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet,and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient… Being filled with all unrighteousness,fornication,wickedness,covetousness,maliciousness,full of envy,murder,debate,deceit,malignity,whisperers,backbiters,haters of
God, despiteful,proud,boasters, inventors of evil things,disobedient
to parents,without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do it. Amen
Not a resident of Edgewood but … WOW! If only we could direct all this passion and energy into working together to begin solving the problems instead of assigning blame …
