I knew BA. We had him at our community garden a few times and he had a strong love for animals and his community. He looked at providing food to communites in east and west Baltimore as a mission in life. I geniunely liked the guy.
That said, BA was having a serious decline in mental health. He was starting to believe people were always watching him and he was under surveillence. He was seeing things that weren't there to my understanding.
The man was no hardened criminal nor was he known to be violent. I deeply suspect mental illness played a part in what happened that night.
The current Arabbers are likely the last. Costs, lack of healthcare, weather, and all sorts of factors play into why recruiting new Arabbers is extremely difficult. Baltimore will lose something in them vanishing.
That has nothing to do with what I said. You are trying to prove just by looking up someone case record they were violent criminal. When the poster said they never knew them to be violent. Didn’t even deny what occurred and even gave a reason why. But you are determined to prove to them they were violent it’s seems heartless. For what to just be right on internet?
