Attempted Murders At American Legion

INCIDENT: Attempted Murders
DATE: October 3, 2009
LOCATION: American Legion, 1216 Jersey Road, Salisbury, Maryland.

NARRATIVE:
On October 3, 2009 at approximately 0055 hours the Maryland State Police - Salisbury Barrack responded to the American Legion located at the above address on Jersey Road for a report of a fight where two individuals were each stabbed multiple times.

Upon arrival, Troopers located several hundred people leaving the Legion and two victims with stab wounds. Additionally, a female victim had been struck by an unknown object and had a swollen area on her forehead.

All three victims were transported by EMS to PRMC where one was listed in stable condition and one was listed in critical condition. The victim in stable condition suffered from multiple stab wounds to the right rib cage area, none of which appear life threatening. The victim in critical condition suffered from five stab wounds, some of which punctured a lung and the liver. The female victim was also transported to PRMC but eventually refused treatment

Investigators from WBI responded and assumed the investigation.

It appears that the stabbings occurred during a larger physical altercation that appears to be motivated by an argument between Pocomoke residents, who had rented the Legion, and some local residents.

WBI investigators processed and photographed the crime scene and collected evidence.

Investigation continues.

If anyone has information in reference to this investigation, please contact Wicomico Bureau of Investigation @ 410-548-4898 or Crime Solvers @ 410-548-1776

SUSPECTS*: The suspects are: Unknown
CHARGES: Attempted Murder
1st Assault
And related charges
DISPOSITION: Under Investigation

Dear Mr. President:

I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.

We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over?

Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.

4. I want my grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.

5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture e and history.

6. I want my grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical thing about me or my family,
or about the strain we might place on their economy.

14. I want to receive free food stamps.

15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.

16. I'll need Income tax credits so although I don't pay Mexican Taxes, I'll receive money from the government.

17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Govt pays $ 4,500 to help me buy a new car.

18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

Thank you so much for your kind help. You're the man!!!
