Baltimore-area Patch readers speak their minds.
This week, Patch readers took to the comment streams to chime in on local politics, neighborhood crime, a hero in an early-morning fire and gun control. Here's some of what your neighbors are saying: Towson: "154 rounds in under 5 minutes and you say he wasn't proficient??? That's ridiculous." — Steve on The New Game In Town Essex: "We see more of this type of behavior during hard economic times. Often times people see no other option. This may not be the case in this particular situation but is is sad nonetheless." — Buzz Beeler on Police: Essex Barricade Situation Over; Man in Custody Dundalk: "Laughed out loud throughout the entire article...was trying to read it to someone and couldn't continue after, 'Enough!'

This week, Patch readers sounded off on the circus, graffiti, bagels and restaurants cleanliness. Here's what your neighbors are saying: Towson: “I was there, and it was an awful experience. Seeing him everyday running, and so vibrant and healthy, and then this morning he was in such bad shape. Again thank goodness for the wonderful doctors who were immediately helping him, and who thankfully were nearby when he was struck. As a runner myself it hits me in the gut, and I have been thinking of the good doc all day. Here's to you doc. A speedy recovery for you is all I am thinking about right now.” – Sallie Sweeney on Jogging Doctor Highly Regarded Among Colleagues Perry Hall: “Well, being a Perry Hall resident, I care if they (or anything …

This week, Patch readers took to the comment streams to defend police captains in trouble, discuss the future of a historic property and talk about dog bits. Here’s what your neighbors are saying: Hunt Valley-Cockeysville: "The whole point is to NOT FLUSH THEM down the toilet. We have a big issue where our sewage treatment plants cannot take the medications out of the sludge, and then it goes on into the bay and our water table, and wreaks havoc on fish. Just do a web search on anti-depressants and fish." – Tony Gostomski via Facebook on Cockeysville Precinct Serves as Drop Off for DEA Program Catonsville: "I believe that Catonsville has a moral responsibility to preserve the history of the people who lived at Spring Grove. It would be …

Pikesville: “Thanks to the gerrymandered districts, it's all but impossible for Republicans to win. So no, I don't really like our representatives.” – Holly Hosler via Facebook on Marylanders Concerned about Sequestration Effects on State, National Economy Lutherville-Timonium: “OMG. What will I do without my guilty pleasure, a half rack of dry rub ribs and fries? Crying.” – Sandy Black via Facebook on Charred Rib To Serve Its Last Customers Towson: "Gee, it's getting so a person can't even walk around drunk any more! What is this world coming to?" - M. Sullivan on 3 Robbers Attack Intoxicated Man Perry Hall: "Really? The entire country is on the verge of shut down, schools are falling down around kids ears (literally) there are no books, …

“This is a joke right? Maybe you just can't drive? And smoking pounds in days, get real! That 'tunnel vision' is a complete joke, driving high isn't hard. I have also rode with high drivers who drove completely fine. What do you mean by grey area? Alcohol can kill you, marijuana can not. Finally, if you don't like the drug sir, don't use it, why take it away from everyone else who enjoys.” – Jeff Donley on OPINION: Let The FDA Approve Medical Marijuana, Not Our Politicians “People drive like maniacs in Pikesville. Hitting a building is rare, usually drivers there prefer to hit other vehicles or pedestrians.” – Iris B via Facebook on No Injuries After Dump Truck Crashes into Mari Luna “That's nice, a clean slate to start all over again and …

Owings Mills-Reisterstown: “Mimi was a very nice lady and my wife and I loved her very much. On another site's article I saw someone post a comment blaming her death on the police for breaking off the pursuit. They do that for our safety, not to mitigate their risk...and statistics back that policy up. You stop chasing someone they usually slow down. It's a utter shame and we're heartbroken that this time it didn't work out that way. The blame for her death has to fall squarely on the shoulders of Mr. Mottley.” – John P Roberts III on Police: Suicidal Motorist Kills Reisterstown Woman, Hospitalizes Self in Crash Bel Air: “@BelAirPatch @HCPSchools this just makes no sense. All they do is watch movies the last 3 days anyway. #wastedtaxes” – …

This past week, Patch readers got riled about concert venue closures, Sonic coming to town, pet cemeteries and more. Here’s what your neighbors are saying: Towson Patch: “I have been a regular of the Recher for many years. I happen to know for a fact that it hasn't been profitable for them in a long time. They delayed this inevitable change as long as possible. But to survive they must adapt. I am sad to see this place and I doubt I will go to their nightclub, but I won't begrudge them the right to run a business that is actually profitable. It is the responsibility of the town council, and local government to provide safety, handle so-called riots, and police the area. That is not the concern of the business.” – RL on Recher Theatre …

This past week, Patch readers took to the comment steams and Facebook to share their thoughts on rats, homicide victims and more. Here’s what your neighbors are saying: Dundalk Patch “Really? What areas do they see improvement in? I know for a fact that it's not West Inverness! We are still [overrun] with rats!! I have spent countless hours in my yard trying to make it look good, only to have it totally destroyed by the rats. It doesn't help that people around you don't care. There are people that won't buy the much needed trash cans, those with old junk cars in the yards and those that just don't clean up their yards at all! [And] the biggest offenders are these stupid rentals that the landlords aren't held responsible for! So,really? …
