In case nobody noticed,the South Salisbury Hallmark store is practically next door to the Wicomico County Dispensary location on the south side.I can almost bet that the drunk and disorderly subject was panhandling for booze!Everytime I go to Giant theres some alkie sitting around out front asking people for money-why doesnt anyone do anything about it?doesnt the dispensary bear any responsibility here?
This is so horrible. Kana Miles, the boy involved with the shooting, was such a great student and basketball player while he attended Wicomico High School. He was an asset to the team while he was a member of it and attended all the home games after he graduated and traveled with the team. I can't believe he would get himself involved in something like this. It is times like these that I sit back and wonder where things went wrong. I hope he is able to see his wrong and straighten himself out, because I know personally that he is not a truly bad person. It seems like he got himself caught up with the wrong people.
I was at that Hallmark store that evening, a bit earlier. Two men were outside the store in a large pickup. The smell of alcohol was so strong I would smell it in my car as I drove away. Yet one of the two men came out of the dispensary with a large bag under his arm. Don't they card people who seem intoxicated already and refuse to sell to them, like bars are required to do? What concerned me most, besides the smell, was that they were going to get behind the wheel and drive off.
