Readers of yesterday’s Daily Times may have been perplexed by the article and editorial proclaiming that crime is really down in Salisbarrie despite the spate of murders, stabbings and shootings. With the article are graph charts plotting data on homicides, robberies and assaults for the period 2003-2007. In two of those three categories during that period the crime level has gone up, not down.
Things must be upside down in the land of Bassett. Could it be that he thinks that Gannett stock is going thru the roof on Wall Street and not down the tube? And if crime is down, why is Sheriff Lewis “alarmed” by the data. The article does not quote Salisbury’s “Chiefy” Webster, but maybe there was no telephone service in Westover or Crisfield recently.
Along with the front page article the editorial reiterates the mantra mouthed by the Tilghman administration. The editorial writer concludes with this pithy gem: “Salisbury remains a friendly safe community for those who take reasonable precautions.” Anyone who believes that baloney should talk to Ted Shea as soon as possible.

Its reached JOKE status over there. Its one thing to bend all the truths as the paper has done for (certain) people over the years but this is just out right lies.
So are we supposed to celebrate all the murders this year already because crime is down?
Got any swampland you want to sell?
I smoke from one oriface and don't need any blown up the other!
“Salisbury remains a friendly safe community for those who take reasonable precautions.”
Wonder just what kind of "reasonable precautions" that young woman took before those monsters killed her? Salisbury used to be a place where kids could run in their yards at night without fear of being hurt, someone could drive to a store and give someone a ride home without injury..Salisbury WAS a great town to grow up in. Wonder if it'll ever return?
Ask Ted Shea what he thinks about ot and will he ever go to snother ATM after dark?
God Speed Ted
Being a resident of Salisbury since 1960, we locals know better that crime is increasing. It always increases when S.U. is in session. But those are smaller crimes. It is the poor locals who are comitting the worst crimes. There is a minsdest that nothing is going to change and so crime becomes an option.
Does Salisbury ZOO still employee the Vet.[DOCTOR DEATH]?
"Big Al" Webster -- aka the "Chiefy" -- reminds me of the old TV show "Car 54 Where Are You" (in Somerset County most of the time).
We are one of the most dangerous towns in the entire country. How does the DT explain that away?
As above, so below.
