  Thank you, Councilman Marks, for being on top of this situation, for speaking honestly about it, and for your continued support for the health and future of Towson. I hope the Recher family continues to be a positive in Towson, not a problem. Personally, I'm going to miss the old place and appreciate that the Rechers kept it going for so long.

  Forget it. I'm done discussing it. Not sure how a response to: "we should not use hate to describe these individuals, and should encourage rehabilitation while they are IN PRISON SERVING THEIR SENTENCES" gets read as: I want them out of prison, don't care for victims, and am an advocate for early parole, none of which is true and none of which I've written. In any event, I'm out.

  So - because I'm against the hate-based rants that people have made (while hiding their identities) and suggesting that someone can have a change of heart, I'm ignoring the victims? I'm not saying that they should get out early or that I don't feel for the victims. Of course I do. Truth is, Matt, that we don't know what kind of help any of these people have received in the past, if any (my guess is none). And, I'd argue that I'm thinking more about the victims than you. I'm advocating for someone making a difference while these individuals serve their time. Perhaps had that been done the first few times they were arrested there wouldn't have been victims 2, 3, 4 & 5.

  Alex, the answer to your question is "none." I am an intellectual property attorney (patents, trademarks, etc.) and the firm where i work does not do any criminal law. I believe that there is something that can be done for everyone. They should remain in prison for their crimes and should not get out until they have served their time, but my point was to talk about them with the vicious hatred that everyone was using was sad and unwarranted, at least in my opinion. And by the way, 'Chillin' the people who do great work turning around the hearts and minds of those who have done wrong are not wasting your tax money. They're volunteers.

  Anyone able to offer a suggestion about how we can start doing things to help rehabilitate these young people and to try to stop whatever it is that led them to crime in the first place, or is hatred all you have? Are these the thoughts you're thinking as people who look like this group walk by you? If it is then you're part of the problem in my opinion.

  I'm fairly certain that TU can't stop this, as distasteful as it may be to administrators and everyone else. The university, as a state-owned & run institution, can't deny the application because the university (and others) don't like the content of the message that the group is advocating. It's a 1st Amendment issue. So all the comments & complaints, both formal & informal, demanding that TU take action or do something to stop it, are pretty pointless.

  I'd like to thank Councilman Marks for his decision. I agree that there needs to be improvement along Bosley Avenue but that a wholesale re-zoning that permits property owners to do so without community input is not the best way to achieve it. As Councilman Marks correctly explains, the existing planned unit development, or PUD, is a process that is already in place is a means to achieve redevelopment but with community input. I live in West Towson and am eager to use this process to work with all commercial property owners to improve their properties in a manner that makes business sense, yet keeps our community setting intact. So far, however, not a single commercial property owner has accepted the community's invitation. But it remains open.

  Many people don't know this but if a senior citizen can't get to a pharmacy they should call Austin P'sharmacy on York Road in Anneslie. I believe that this pharmacy delivers. Plus, it's so nice to patronize one of the few old time pharmacy gems that still remains in the area.
