It dosen’t matter if the perps are white, black or green. The area is going to hell in a handbasket. Sad state of affairs.
Considering the close proximity to I-95, these yahoos could very well have been from out of the area.
Shouldn’t the non-robber’s face be blacked of the pic?
Real smart crooks… Robbing a gas station really going to make a lot there! Joppa/Edgewood = New Baltimore
Curious that the final perp’s race wasn’t listed. Just an oversight or another indication of our hyper-sensitivity?
If this liberal state would allow concealed carry we might have 3 dead robbers.
If this conservative county would put its money where its mouth is you would be using the legal system to really prosecute repeat offenders and put them away instead of issuing them Stet sentences with their extensive prior background. If this conservative county would open up its eyes and see that the majority of people that commit crimes are mentally ill and are a threat to innocent people you would haul them in for emergency evaluation and get them off the street. If you spent more on law enforcement and rehabilitation programs and mental counseling for the spiritually and emotionally impoverished among us, we might get them off of welfare and actually becoming productive members of society instead of a liability that you pay to sit in the corner. Open your eyes, the problems are all around you, and they don’t all come from Edgewood, some of them are grown in Fallston and Bel Air.
