Christine,
Here is what was posted on the discussion list on 6/18 (None of it was
from a police person):
Christine,
It they are carrying a baseball bat but no baseball gloves, then it
probably would be worth a call to 911. At least the police can talk
to them and will know who they are.
If you have not done so already, get a crime watch number. Then, when
you call 911, to identify yourself you simply give your crime watch
number, and the officer who responds will not have your name and
address. The following is from the Northern District web site:
*How do I get a Crime Watch Number?*
To get a Crime Watch number contact the Community Relations Unit at
the Northern District at 410-367-8491. You should receive your number
in the mail in about a week.

Steve,
That's the second violent incident/crime in that area in two weeks or less.
When I work on the computer in my second-floor front, I often see groups of
five to eight boys, 10 to 16 years old, wandering my block at night.
Is that cause for concern?
Christine

Subject: [Chat] Gang robbery in front of Margaret Brent/2640 Sunday night
Tonight at 9:45pm a gang of 12 teenagers beat and robbed a man in front
of Margaret Brent Elementary school for his cell phone. The kids were
searching for someone to rob in front of the side entrance of 2640 on
27th Street but gave up and moved down St. Paul because I kept circling
the block and following them with my headlights to make sure the group
meeting in the church would be safe coming out.
Ten of them were on foot and two were on bikes. The officer on the
scene told me that the man was beaten with a baseball bat one carried.
If you see anything like this group, call it in immediately to 911.

I do not know if there was any more said about whether to call 911. But
if kids appear to be up to no good and if the police arrive as the kids
are assaulting someone, you will have helped the police to stop a crime
in progress. We have a serious crime problem in Charles Village; we can
see whether Thursday's meeting sponsored by CVCBD and JHU will do any
good. And I will repeat my advice that everyone get a crime watch
number. I would guess that forms for getting a crime watch number will
be available at the meeting. And you can ask when seeing a large group
of kids justifies calling 911.

I thought there was a message posted here a few weeks ago---I believe
it was from a police "person." The message was to contact the police
whenever a large group of youth is wandering through the neighborhood,
the implication being---or perhaps stated---that such groups are
usually not up to any good.
Does anyone else remember such a message here?

I agree! I love living here and the greatest part about it, is that
we can walk around. I saw these kids that day walking on both side of
the street on 27th Calvert. I would say about 15 or 20 of them. They
were loud enough for me to stop and look out the window. I guess when
this beating happen there were people at the bus stop and did
nothing. Two friends of ours came out with their dog and tried to
scare them away. I feel scared, but I don't want to stay in the
house. Maybe a block party/meeting so we could get to know each
other. I just moved in the area in Nov. I know my neighbors next
door and behind and a few here and there. I would love to be more
connected.

I'm sorry to hear about the recent assaults but also quite sorry that
the police are giving people such advice as not to walk alone! Are
citizens all supposed to stay cowering inside their homes or offices and
to desert our sidewalks and yards, leaving them only to thugs? How does
an empty community make life better for anyone?
Better advice would be for all of us to come outside our houses, sit on
our porches, walk in the neighborhood, be a presence, get to know our
neighbors, and watch out for one another.
