The Daily Times had this on their website two hours ago. You're slacking! lol

The ONLY reason The Daily Times would have this on their Website is because I'm kicking their ass on line.

Secondly, you're so welcome for the free service we provide, hopefully making you lives that much easier by having such a multitude of information provided to you in one location?

Just look as an example of today's front page article about the Zoo. How come you didn't THANK me for providing that information DAYS AGO?

Perhaps I'll go on line and see if you posted on the Daily Times Article that you read that information days ago on Salisbury News?

Somehow I doubt I'll read that because more than likely you work for the Times.

Although it is not illegal for the police to realease a JUVENILEs name in refeence to a crime it is illegal for you to reprint it under Maryland Law. Somebody call MR RUARK!

What are you talking about anonymous? There are no juvenile names used. They are all referred to as "Juvenile" and their ages listed.

Also, I'm not up on my police rules, but while police may be able to include a juvenile's name in a release to media, if they publish the release themselves, I believe they are bound to the same rules as regular publishers.

The last three messages are the same person arguing with themself. Moderation is quite interesting. I come back home and there are 50 some odd messages. These last three above could not be seen by anyone, therefore they were creating their own mini war. Say what you want. This was published by the SPD and re posted here. Unbelievable stuff. Take a pill Dude.

All these robberies and the press realease is about shoplifters? 10-1 chance the security officer won't even show up in court! What about the bigger fish?

It's not as if these officers did any work catching these people. They seem to have been caught by security guards and the Salisbury police simply booked them. Big deal.

You all need to give SPD, MSP and WCSD a break. They are doing their jobs, you on the other hand are bitching about them doing their job or bitching about them not doing their job to your liking. Get a grip, you don't get it both ways. As long as they are catching the thieves the prices will remain affordable. The more they steal and get away with the more we pay for the same item they got by stealing it.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Follow Shanies advice if you don't like it. MOVE to Montana if you want Sleep Hollow.
