But for clarification, “Shorty” is BBQ enthusiast Duane “Shorty” Davis.
But only in Baltimore can people earn the title of “political activist and bbq enthusiast.”

'Dante's work saved lives': Baltimore mourns Safe Streets member killed in shooting
BALTIMORE —
A man killed in a shooting Sunday is being remembered for his dedication to fighting gun violence in Baltimore.
Described as a man who saved lives as the director of Safe Streets in Baltimore City, Dante Barksdale spent nearly a decade fighting against gun violence until, police said, that same violence claimed his life.

City police said officers were called around 11:17 a.m. to the 200 block of Douglas Court, where Barksdale was shot in the head. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he died, police said.
Barksdale was always there, stepping in before things turned violent. WBAL-TV 11 News was with Barksdale in 2017 as he intervened in a fight.
"We know guys on every last one of these corners, from Patterson Park, to Lynwood, to Monument, to Baltimore and further," Barksdale said in 2017.
And Barksdale spoke with 11 News in 2018 about being a violence interrupter, canvassing the Park Heights neighborhood and talking to residents in an effort to build rapport and stop violence from erupting.
As the director of Safe Streets, Barksdale worked with volunteers for years to get the number of shootings down in many areas that see a high rate of crime.
"Now, with little, small children committing robberies, it's, like, some new stuff that I'm not used to. I've never seen this before until now," Barksdale said in 2017.
He continued to grow in his efforts with 10 Safe Streets sites across the city, engaging with those in the community in hopes of stopping crime before it happens.
"It's always something about a stash being stolen or a bill or debt not being paid or some form of disrespect -- 'You're hustling in my neighborhood. You're hustling on my corner,'" Barksdale said in 2018.
Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement: "My heart is broken with the loss of my friend Dante Barksdale, a beloved leader in our community who committed his life to saving lives in Baltimore. He was the heart and soul of Safe Streets, where he worked for nine years. His death is a major loss to Safe Streets, the communities they serve and the entire city of Baltimore. I send my deepest condolences and prayers to Dante's family in this tragic time.
"While I am devastated by the loss of my brother in the fight to save lives in Baltimore, I will not let those who chose to violently take his life dampen the light of his work. The work that Dante did, and the work that so many in Safe Streets and other street-based organizations do to actively interrupt violence, is critical to my priority of reducing violence and making Baltimore's neighborhoods safer.
"Safe Streets and other community-based violence interventions are effective. They save lives. Dante's work saved lives. This is a sobering reminder of how dangerous this front-line work is. We must be steadfast in our commitment to continuing this work, investing in it, and making it more effective for a safer Baltimore."
Shantay Jackson, director of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, issued the following statement: "Dante was not only a respected Safe Streets team member, but a beloved friend to so many in Baltimore. He turned his life around and worked tirelessly for nearly a decade to prevent gun violence in our communities by working with those who were at the highest risk of being a shooter or the victim of shooting. Our office mourns this senseless loss of life with the rest of Baltimore City and is committed to honoring his life and his light by continuing to work to end gun violence in our city once and for all."
Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison released the following statement: "The men and women of the Baltimore Police Department offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of Dante Barksdale. His work in outreach, mediating conflicts and reducing gun violence in our city was invaluable and he embodied a message of redemption and peace to the many young people of our city."
Police have not commented on any suspects in Barksdale's killing. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP.

Safe Streets is a terrific program...really tough, dangerous work, yet so important.
And indeed a real example of redemption.

I dunno...likely would be greatly beefed up journalistic staff again. Local, national, even international again. If you mean the editorial, yes.kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 11:57 amGood to hear the BS will stay in the hands of politically sympathetic ownership.
Profit or not, much won't change at the Sun.
But the quality and quantity of the journalism could become comparable to the glory days of the Evening and Morning and Sunday Sunpapers. (not that there would be separate staffs or separate paper distribution, it would be mostly digital, but quantity and quality).
The journalism has been gutted these past couple of decades...business model broken.

Re: Baltimore: A Shining Star
The Sun was always in bad financial ways. But the whole mess was really exacerbated in the early 00s. It was not really their fault though. It was a time of MASSIVE change for the industry with nothing to compare it to. During the time, many newspapers/magazines struggled to figure out the online side. Even the oldest and best. They didnt understand the internet. And reader tendancies weren't known yet either. Stubborness and unpreparedness was rampant in the industry. Many dumped content online to just be accessible. Others asked for honor system subscriptions. But theose that offered the content for free created a monster that killed circulation and set public expectations. You weren't getting that cow back in the barn. That model finally morphed a little and settled to the hybrid model that meet the reader tendencies we have and see today.

On the old BMore Sun topic discussed previously. Have a buddy closely involved with the Bainum family office. Apparently this has turned into a blood feud with Stuart’s prior fund partner in the acquisition and ego will drive him buying the sun if he has to burn money to do so.

Sorry to hear that. Hope for a speedy recovery with no lasting effects.
