what's a 14 year old who lives in Glen Burnie cull-de-sac apartment complex doing 10 miles away at Penn Station-Baltimore City in the middle of the day, with no parental supervision?

Must have taken the Light Rail up - he's too young to drive. The light rail does go straight from Glen Burnie to Penn Station.

Where are the parents???

The real question is 'where are the "values" of the society, that cares more about building "safe" communes around ghetto concentrations than it is with building descent communes or neighborhoods for all citizens. It was racist indifference that created and maintained these ghetto death-traps that is now coming back to haunt the sons and daughters of white superiority complex that created this mess, in the first place! Now rant your usual denials of, "There you go, again, blaming everything on Racism/1" When is the white power structure going to start accepting responsibility for its role in this mess, and stop pointing its finger at the victims of its greed and indifference?

Does this group of kids live on the east side of the 1700 block of st. Paul where they were caught? Or are they from miles away? Lots of kids their age play and ride bikes in that alley where they were caught.

Dear Citizens of Baltimore City,

Apathy continues to be alive and well in Baltimore.

Everyone is to blame. If you can’t find someone to “pins” the problems of the city on. Just yell out “Racist”.

The real criminal is the indifference that infects some – I said some – if not most of the citizens of Baltimore City.

Mr. Brown – you and everyone like you who opens up their big mouths and do nothing to correct the problem.

Go out into the neighborhoods – visit you local precinct – you and your neighbors can unit. Communities need to organize – I don’t care what your income is – if you want your community to be free of crime you must organize.

The Baltimore City Police Department has strategies that work!!

Organize – Organize – Organize

Take action!!!! Put your time where your mouth is I challenge the Citizens of Baltimore City to contact the Baltimore Guardian Angels at 410-916-2215 and speak to Mr. Marcus Dent, the Chapter Commander of the Baltimore Guardian Angels. Become part of the cure not part of the problem by doing nothing.

Or contact Mr. Jack Baker one of the foremost authorities on organizing a COP program at jackbaker@sdpcrc.org

Charles Brown, what does complexion have to do with little kids trying to kill people?

Steve, one lived near the place of arrest, another lived a few blocks west of Guilford Avenue between Biddle and Chase, and the alleged assailant came from Glen Burnie.

First of all, I am glad the victim didn't die from the injuries sustained from this unwarranted reckless attack. I am glad the police apprehended these young thugs, hopefully they will not harm nobody else? Lets see what the courts will do?

Charles Brown lives in the past and has real animosity toward whites. some would call him a racist.

So how do some idiot kids decide to stab someone for not giving them change? I refuse to give money to bums and other fools all the time. Now I have to worry about getting stabbed?

What exactly were these kids even doing? This city is a joke...to get stabbed by some stupid idiots in the middle of the afternoon near a busy mass transit station.

This is why we need shall issue concealed carry in Maryland. Criminals come in all sizes & law abiding citizens have not only aright but a responsibilityto defend themselves.

I laugh at all the "Anonymous" COWARDS who sit behind their screen and talk down on Blacks and make all these high and mighty proclamations. They are always waiting to throw out the REVERSE racism card not because it actually applies to the particular situation, but because they themselves are the worst kind of racist. You know the kind that post on every message board they can find but will be the same coward smiling and laughing with every black person they know in an attempt to observe the black culture and make snide remarks on the internet.
I applaud and rejoice when I hear that the very violence the racist infrastructure in America has built comes back to haunt the offspring of such vile human beings. It's about time these animals realize "Hey, why keep hurting and killing each other when we can go after these cowardly white folk"?

I LOVE IT!

Why Bob, so they could steal his gun too? There's no evidence that allowing concealed carry results in less crime. In fact, the risk that MORE guns get put on the street is as logical a conclusion as yours.

We all know racism is still alive and well in this country. Not sure when that will change. These children are just a product of the lack of caring in our society. Society makes it hard for minorities to get an equal education, they are treated like second class citizens and mistreated. This is the end result. So now what...throw them all way. Then it will be like they have always wanted. All the black people in prison so they can control them and then deport all the brown people.

Its shocking enough that young children would commit this kind of crime.But whats even sadder is that adults like the commenter "Charles Brown" excuse thier behavior and commneters like "Grow up" actually applaud thier violent behavior.

The obsession and tunnel vision focus on race here is impressive. Makes otherwise good people make excuses for the inexcusable or make broad statements or assumptions. Both are ignorant Let's get it straight. These weren't "black kids"; that's way too broad of a brush. This was at least 1 kid in a group (other 2 may be innocent) who comes from a broken and poor household, has few positive role models, listens to too many songs and movies glorifying street life violence, cuts out of school and walks around thinking the world owes him something. I explained it, but, what many of you don't get, is that it doesn't make it acceptable and your tolerance only perpetuates the cycle of violence.

Concealed carry works wonders in Arizona. It would probably work wonders here too.

yikes! there are so many horrifying comments on here. yes racism is alive and well in america, i don't have the answers to cure that humiliating and ignorant disease we inherited from our forefathers; but i do have the foresight to try and do what i can personally to break that barrier. we have so much knowledge of our own history to learn from, its all at our finger tips, can't we take a look at it? not only to learn of the injustice, but to try and learn how to create and forge a better future? it has to happen within people individually not just within groups. we can try to unite enough to stop pointing fingers at each other and see that the future of our children is bleak thus creating a risk factor for everything and one walking the streets of our great city. the problems stem from years of humans practicing discrimination for everything from race to religion. who are our children to learn from? we all want a fair crack at this world right? how do we raise and lower standards in all aspects of life to make this work? this problem is so much bigger than the he said, she said, youre white, youre black, finger pointing we all fall prey too, its easy, its comfortable, and its what society has taught us to do. please lets think beyond this, lets all stop being victims and lets try to understand each other, and for human beings sake (and the earth and animals), try to really respect each other. we don't have to like or agree, but respect is important for a society to succeed. yes what happened on labor day is horrid on all accounts and for everyone involved (including families), but please people lets look at the bigger problem, our society is headed downhill in a big way, what can you do personally to help make a change for the better?
