I found Justin’s reporting to be clarifying and insightful amid the murkiness and confusion. In fact, his reporting reminded me of the work of another Baltimore based journalist who covered that very same beat on those very same streets three decades ago. That journalist was David Simon, who went on to give birth to the iconic Baltimore-based Crime TV series Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Corner and The Wire. You can read my four-part interview with David here. My interview with David's fellow Executive Producer on The Wire, George Pelecanos, is here. And my interview with Homicide: Life on the Streets Showrunner, Tom Fontana, is here.
