Except here the government suddenly added to his risk by arbitrarily preventing him from protecting his property rights.

Or who get out of the landlording business entirely because the government has added too much risk to it. This means fewer rental properties and higher prices, which the same people who vilify landlords will then also complain about.

We looked into becoming landlords a few years ago when moving. Did some informal risk/benefit calculations and nope, not worth it. Sold the old house, threw the money into an S&P 500 index fund. A house that could have been a very reasonably priced rental property stayed off the rental market. Turns out there are consequences to having a system that's unfriendly to landlords.

Are the new Ekibens are good as the original? Often when places expand they lose something in quality at their new locations.

Coppin State is such a trainwreck. Ten years ago their graduation rate was fifteen percent! It sounds like they've gotten a bit better but it's an institution I've never heard a positive thing about.

This is Reddit, not Grindr.

Nope, after my experience dating an alcoholic I no longer love addicts.

+1 for the YMCA.

Fortunately I don't use drugs so this doesn't apply to me.

You don't want your house to become a gathering spot for homeless people but yeah, a one-off incident of someone filling up a water bottle is a non-issue.

> This wasn’t how Pamala Shelby wanted to spend Christmas.

> The 72-year-old Alabama woman was supposed to reunite with her siblings in Ohio for the first time in two years. Her youngest son bought her plane tickets as an early Christmas present. There was going to be a potluck dinner with nieces, nephews and grandchildren.

> Instead, Shelby found herself caught up in a massive wave of cancellations by Southwest Airlines. She arrived Christmas Eve at BWI Marshall Airport for what was supposed to be a short layover on the way to Columbus. She ended up spending her Christmas in the airport, sleeping on whatever chairs were available — with no food, no family and no luggage.

Getting through to customer service won't do much good when Southwest is still cancelling thousands of flights.

Start making alternate plans.

At least you were flying from another major airline's hub. That makes rebooking a bit less painful.

> The cops will shoot you if you are having a mental health emergency.

Give me a break. Most of the people who get shot during "mental health emergencies" are also waving around a knife or a gun.

I was absolutely capable of understanding basic morality as a child.

> Being tried as a juvenile doesn't have to mean treating it like a lesser crime, like he committed petty theft instead of rape.

Yes it does. Everyone knows that the juvenile system is a joke and hands out meaningless non-punishments.

> the criminal has a better chance of being rehabilitated.

Ha! Right, and I've got some prime swamp land in Florida to sell you.

Huh, TIL. Looks like they're a "center for hand and upper extremity surgery."

Total BS. Nobody is being forced to commit carjackings.

I'm still angry.

I knew damned well that carjacking was not ok when I was a teenager.

And yet the state legislature wants to make it harder to charge juveniles as adults.

In my experience people on the internet suck at recommending specific physicians.

My recommendation is to call a big ortho group in the area. IMO you can't go wrong with MedStar (the ones at Union Memorial). All of their doctors are fellowship trained and subspecialize in certain areas. Contact them and tell them your issue, they'll refer you to a surgeon with the most appropriate training and experience.

OP has a shoulder problem. Why would you recommend a hand center?

Now is probably a particularly bad time for bars. Lots of people are sick, either with COVID or other respiratory illness. People who aren't sick are probably avoiding bars right before they go see their families.

From my non-lawyer understanding of things...

Maryland courts have ruled repeatedly that although it's a duty to retreat state common law does not require you to retreat in your own home. The right to stand your ground isn't protected by statute but [there is caselaw on the side of homeowners].

> The duty to retreat also does not apply if one is attacked in one's own home. "[A] man faced with the danger of an attack upon his dwelling need not retreat from his home to escape the danger, but instead may stand his ground and, if necessary to repel the attack, may kill the attacker." Crawford v. State, 231 Md. 354, 361, 190 A.2d 538, 541 (1963). The Court of Appeals said in Crawford, a case in which the defendant fatally shot a younger man who was attempting to break into his home to beat and rob him:

IMO that's one thing MD should clean up. I don't really think that SYG matters much but the law should explicitly protect the right to self defense in your own home. People should also have better protection from civil suits if they shoot a home invader.
