Baltimore 9 Update: Bus Video Tape Blank…Charging As Adults Pondered
The bus tape was blank? Strange turn of events…We will continue to follow the Sarah Kreager “Baltimore 9″ bus beating story. Recent developments in the case for your perusal and commentary:>
A woman remains bruised and battered after teens attacked her on a city bus. Now there are new questions over how the students should be punished, including whether or not the school should step in.
Kathryn Brown has the latest.
Eyewitness News has now confirmed prosecutors are looking into charging several of these teenage students as adults in the attack.
The bruised and broken face of Sarah Kreager shows the signs of a brutal attack. The 26-year-old mother of three was beaten up after refusing to give up her seat on an MTA bus.
Now nine teenagers from Robert Poole Middle School have been charged.
Eyewitness News has learned the surveillance tape from the bus’ security camera is blank. Forensics teams are trying, so far without success, to recover images.
“Clearly, this is one incident in a population of 80,000 students. Things happen. It is a tragedy, as I said. It casts a light that I would rather not be cast on the school system,” said Baltimore City Schools CEO Dr. Andres Alonso.
But bus riders say the incident is not isolated.
“Sometimes they’re real rough,” said Beverly Scast.
The issue isn’t confined to just buses. Many Hampden residents say they constantly have problems with students and one store has banned them from coming in at all in the afternoons.
“The stores have signs up saying only two students in at a time or no students at a time,” said Eric Rose.

December 11th, 2007 at 1:39 pmSmells like a cover up to me!! I would be willing to bet that a sympathetic like pigmented employee erased the tape.
December 11th, 2007 at 1:49 pmCharge them all as adults and with hate crimes, and then lock them up and make them the example.
This shit will not get any better if we coddle thugs like this. They want to act like grown up thugs, let them pay for their actions like grown up thugs!!!
From a city which is run by socialist/communists demo#xx*’s , naacp, etc …… Do you expect otherwise ?
December 11th, 2007 at 1:56 pmVideo tape was blank huh?
How convenient!
I’d guaran-damn-tee ya, somebody swapped or erased it.
December 11th, 2007 at 2:06 pmBlank tapes !!—-nawww-say it ain’t so!
December 11th, 2007 at 2:54 pmimagine that.
“….things happen” Baltimore City Schools CEO. This wasn’t a “thing”. This was border-line murder by nine pieces of human waste. I guarantee you this isn’t their first little “incident” nor will it be the last. Stop it now and stop it early. They chose to act this way and they should be punished. I don’t give a shit if they come from broken homes, da man is oppressin dem, or any other line of shit. They chose to do this and should reap what they sow.
December 11th, 2007 at 4:05 pmYeah this is some shocker..blank tape, more like bull shit!
December 11th, 2007 at 5:09 pmAnyone who knows anything about Baltimore politics KNOWS this tape was stolen/erased. The mayor is a fellow traveller with the NAACP. this was a serious crime. I personally do not believe in this ” Hate crime ” BULLSHIT,
December 11th, 2007 at 7:28 pmIf you commit a crime you should be judged on that crime not what was in your thoughts. Beware if you have to come to Baltimore, if you stray outside the tourist areas you are NOT SAFE, I have worked for the local utility for 20 years and I can tell you from personal experience once you get outside the tourist areas you can be victimized VERY VERY fast
