I want you to think about this for a minute........
Before Salisbury News came along, did the masses of you know so much crime was going on? NO! Everyone was pretty much clueless about any spills from the WWTP. No one knew about people going door to door stealing money for magazines from you. No one was aware of the Graffiti, the Gangs, the list goes on and on.
That being said, who's left you in the dark for so long? Was it the Mayor? Was/is it the Chief of Police? Was it the Daily Times and other news sources?
All I can tell you is, Salisbury News is exposing all sorts of things no one had heard of before and it's no wonder the Daily Times is starting to look and sound more like Salisbury News these days, they have no choice because they're failing.
I get remarks almost daily about how WBOC & WMDT and nothing short of a televised Salisbury News for local news every evening but they read about it here first. Look, I can't expect to get everyone and their brother coming here to this Blog but where I will take credit is the fact that these other sources of news media are starting to expose these things never told before.
Nowadays it's a big deal when the WWTP has another spill. 3 years ago, who knew? Who cared? Anyhow, I can tell you that "I" did NOT receive any Press Release about vehicles having parts stolen off of them and quite frankly, you should be ticked off at that. If they keep you in the dark, the crime just continues.
Look at it like this. If "I" see some SOB in a Parking Lot with a saws all, I'm going after that SOB and or calling the Police immediately and so will you now. If the Chief of the Police Department can't manage crime locally and report it because his stats would go through the roof, we'll do it for him, just like I did when all the graffiti was going on in Downtown Salisbury.
It's time to demand our local Officials TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON! If we need to pack our bags and relocate because crime is too much to raise a child in this City, damn it, you pay enough taxes to be told the TRUTH! We should also know so we can pack our businesses and move elsewhere as well. Crime is out of control here and Chief Webster needs to let us know by releasing ALL of the crime locally.
Until then, keep bringing on the Lawsuits against me Police Chief Webster and Mayor Barrie Tilghman! If Salisbury News has to be the only reliable source for REALITY, then so be it.

Well spoken Joe!
ReplyDeleteim gonna have me a margarita and get back with you on this one joe.
ReplyDeleteIs there enough platinum and palladium in these converters to make them especially valuable right now?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to Salisbury's listings on Crime Report: http://www.crimereports.com/map/index/?search=+Salisbury+MD
ReplyDeleteI wonder who is responsible for posting the crimes?
Hey make it easy on your self... Go to www.crimereports.com and put in Salisbury. They are a member of this site and all calls and crimes go into this database. You can see where the crimes are near you/
ReplyDeleteOh, I see someone beat me to this. The way this works is they have a batch file that sends information directly from the departments database, so no one is responsible and what is in the report program gets put on the screen.
ReplyDeleteCompetition will always raise the bar. Keep it up, just be accurate and make sure the facts are correct.
ReplyDeleteLook what Rush and Drudge have done. They have shook up the world of the main stream media. You're doing the same at the local level.
I gotta say, I admire what you're doing a great deal - if only the rest of the folk in town had your gumption and determination - but you're a website, and they're a TV station/print media. I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison. You're one guy in a car with a laptop, and they're a whole crew with notepads and/or cameramen. Draw your own conclusions.
ReplyDeletesounds like the one guy is whooppin their ass.
ReplyDelete"Before Salisbury News came along, did the masses of you know so much crime was going on? NO!"
ReplyDeleteI thought it was well rather known that Salisbury has the 2nd highest crime rate in Maryland (behind Baltimore).
