Suggesting that she might consider joining a ground-breaking lawsuit to stem the flow of illegal weapons, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon met yesterday with New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg - the architect of that litigation - to talk about ways both cities can improve education and fight crime...It's like watching witch doctors preparing to sacrifice a goat.
Her meetings here also took place after Baltimore's deadliest weekend of the year, in which six people were killed - including three who were shot on the street in broad daylight.
"All of these incidents that are happening - all of these victims that are being killed - are from illegal guns," Dixon said as she stood outside New York's City Hall.
I do wish the NRA spokesman would stop ceding the term "gun crimes" when he gets a chance for some media coverage.
