Hey, that Turd on the other blog makes it sound like the murderer on Hammond street was a poor innocent victim himself.

This criminal was charged with attempted murder using a handgun in 2006 as a minor! WTF

Looks like he did it a couple of years ago, too, when he was a minor, and was given a second chance.

I am to suppose that this scumball 'was a nice young man' who 'always did his homework' and who 'helped little old ladies across the street'?

quick arrest...suspect has a extensive criminal record with previous gun charges. He also has gang ties.

Amazing how many arrests and citations are being written now. It is also amazing to me that the police officers of SPD are now being allowed to do police work.

WHY?

Is it because Ireton has laid down the law to the great bald one?

Is it because we are now 2nd most violent city in the USofA?

Is it because he wants to pad his resume for his rumored upcoming run for Somerset County Sheriff?

Certainly, it can not be because he actually wants to do his job properly after all these years.

Officers of SPD I feel sorry for all of you that want to be good police officers but can not due to your lack of leadership.

Rob S, 1251 Am, I don't think it has anything to do with being great work and solving a crime. If you remember correctly they were looking for 3 suspects who ran from the scene in broad daylight. When there is more than 1 person involved in a crime eventually someone's conscious gets to them or they are to stupid to keep their mouths shut.

On the same thought I am glad both criminals are off the street. The liberal court system should have kept him in jail when he committed the same crime 3 years ago.

Stand by America it is only going to get worse.

I saw it coming 5 yrs ago.I lived right down the block from the parking lot behind those townhouses and I know I called the cops at least twice a week to report fights,drug deals and underage drinking going on in this lot.When the cops drove by the thugs would scatter like roaches only to come back after the cops left.Half the people hanging out there didnt even live in the townhouses.They would drag old furniture out there under the trees and the whole lot was littered with garbage.B&Z couldnt do much because the grassy area belonged to an absentee landlord.There was no property manager for the townhouses to call because there was no one owner who owned all the units.Several Salisbury area landlords owned units in the townhouses on Hammond,Kent and Priscilla.Now someone has died there and I am not suprised but maybe now it will light a fire under someone in the city to get serious about cleaning the place up.You can ride by there now and I am sure the drug slingers and slackers have slithered back in.If no changes are made in this neighborhood then Brandon died for nothing.

Anyone look up Brandon's record? His list is a long one of thievery and burglaries. He just ripped off the wrong fellow thug.

All I have to say is two less thugs,5:18 is correct good riddens

SPD is down BY 12 officers, not down TO 12 officers.

I agree with the person questioning why we are actually seeing actual policing from SPD...Chief is under some expectation to actually work it seems.

The new strategy is for an unnamed SPD Major to give crappy references for exceptional officers in an attempt for other agencies not to hire them. Too bad it won't work considering who they are coming from! Integrity and leadership? LOL. What an example they set upstairs.
