Let's Talk About Gangs & Crime In Wicomico County











Ladies & Gentlemen, not only is this graffiti Gang related, it's calling one Gang out for war. This is located on the bridge that crosses over the Wicomico River near the Ramada Inn on Rt. 13. How the Mayor and Public Works haven't been made aware of this is beyond me, (I'm confident they are 100% aware of it) but they chose NOT to clean it up and Chief Webster has no clue who to go after for such a crime.

While we're on the word crime, get this! According to the Maryland Uniform Crime Report recently published, 66% of all crimes in Worcester County closed with convictions.

ARE YOU READY?

In Wicomico County, they were only able to close 22% of all their arrests into convictions! Now what does that tell you about the Police Departments in Wicomico County? Don't even think of trying to pass the buck onto the States Attorney's Office because that's simply not the problem here. The problem here is very young and inexperienced Officers not doing their jobs properly and this is why there is a desperate need for a strong change in Wicomico County.

These are very serious numbers Folks and numbers that cannot be taken lightly. This tells me you can make a better living as a criminal in Wicomico County than an honest taxpaying Citizen! Get this, there's no taxes on stolen good too! The example is, come to Wicomico County and do your crime because there's a very strong chance you'll not get caught and or prosecuted!

I agree that we do have a problem! I disagree that the police departments are to blame! The problem is simply a result of "no one taking responsibilty" there's this old saying "it takes a village to raise a child" and that is so true. We don't instill morals and values in our children, we don't teach them to respect others, and they grow up to be bigger problems than society can handle. Parents need to take responsibilty and not wait for trouble to come before they are heard. WAKE UP WICOMICO COUNTY!!! Our children have left society behind. Think outside the box! We need to invest in our children... Give them a safe haven in which they can learn, play, and grow up to be productive citizens. Let them know that they are loved and that they can be what everyone said they would never be!Don't blame police officers. They have a hell of a job picking up the pieces that noone else has time for. Educators are not to blame, they can't do it all either. We need Parents to take a stand and raise thier children properrly. I'm not saying all parents are bad, we have alot of great parents but we all know wee have a lot that do not need the title. We live a society that is lost and we need "EVERYONE" in order to find it! We need to all pull together in order to make a change. The answer to hope is prayer!
