WOW. just wow
ReplyDeleteSalisbury is absolutely terrible for such a small town when it comes to crime. And (I hate to admit it) the most violent crimes seem to be coming from my black brothers and sisters. Not to let whites off the hook (plenty of bank robberies and smaller crimes are committed by you).
ReplyDeleteMy thing is that while I have alot of sympathy for a young teen growing up in inner city Baltimore/D.C/Philly, where these kids witness at times absolute horrible conditions (think the movie "Precious" and "Boyz in the Hood"), what the hell are these fools in Salisbury dealing with?
I'll tell you. A pretty decent school system. College and technical education right here in the area (UMES, SU, WorWic). Job opportunities here and abroad if they take advantage of that education. No rampant gangs (I guess until recently), plenty of outdoor clean spaces, plenty of mentor/afterschool programming (especially by the groups associated with UMES ex. Upward Bound), gov. assistance for those who need it. I mean, what's your problem young dummy?
I'm just fed up. Because while so many of us work to save the kids who really need help (think back to the DC kids I mentioned), people use these Salisbury dummies as examples for why we shouldn't try to help the poor or needy, or minority kids for that matter.
People I hope you realize that you have some real hard head dummies in Salis. making us all (especially young blacks) look bad. But, I hope that does not discredit much of the hard work that so many black youths (and all kids from Salis. for that matter) are out here doing everyday. You won't see many in the media because we all know good stories don't sell ads and many of our best and brightest rocket off the Shore as soon as they can. But it is time to clean house on those individuals that refuse to get their stuff together and acknowledge the many individuals who refuse to become a negative statistic.
Sorry for the long rant but I have had ENOUGH.
Welcome to the Wild Wild West

ReplyDeleteThat about says it all. Great comment! You sound like a good candidate for city council.
2:18, I agree with 2:37!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I wish you would contact one of the two grown ups on city council who are Debbie Campbell and Terry Cohen. and give your thoughts on what to do. They have phone numbers on the city website. That's www.ci.salisbury.md.us. If you look around for a link to council members you'll find them. They are the only two who care.

ReplyDeleteGreat commentary for sure.
Lake Street.
ReplyDeleteRecords Street.
Cecil Street.
Anyone surprised?
Bet all the shooters come from nice tax-paying single family homes that they own too. NOT!
Sounds like a gang war to me...
ReplyDeleteWhat's Shanie say? That it isn't a shooting if they know who they're shooting at?
ReplyDeleteThe mayor's crime package would actually help to reduce crime in her district and save some lives there, but she's in too deep with the landlords to change her stance now. What she's doing is a crime.
Thirty more policemen would not have stopped the shootings last night. Council members wouldn't have stopped them. Better schools wouldn't have stopped them. Taking guns off the street wouldn't have stopped them. The blacks need to clean up their cultural problems to stop what's going on in their neighborhoods.
ReplyDelete743 well said i agree black on black crime is off the hook now if whites were shooting blacks something would be done about it NAACP would take a stand against that
ReplyDeletethis is why i always say that hardcore rap needs to be banned young black kids listen to it and think its the way things should be .... i also blame their parents as they are also in it just like the kids ... i remember years ago when white and black kids respected parents and obeyed elders and the laws ... everything these days is due to the poor and dangerous messages put to music,tv and the adults that kids follow
ReplyDelete7:43 only problem is your cultural theory doesn't work. Go to poor areas anywhere around the world, London, Paris, Bejing, Bangladesh, poverty begets crime son, no matter what color.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part about the man that got hurt he would have givin you the shirt off his back.
ReplyDeleteI agree with 9:12. no guns in france, can't have that here, white people would lose their minds. insert french wuss joke now.
ReplyDeletethe first one is the best.....he was standing there,"waiting for a friend".....aka selling drugs
ReplyDeleteA person weighing the risks of crime considers factors like how many police officers are in sight where the crime will take place. Studies of New York City records between 1970 and 1999 showed that as the police force in the city grew, less crime was committed. A change in a city's police force, however, is usually tied to its economic health. Normally as unemployment rises, city revenues decrease because fewer people are paying taxes. This causes cutbacks in city services including the police force. So a rise in criminal activity may not be due to fewer police, but rather rising unemployment

Salisbury has become so bad..You cant even ride down 13 without seeing these hoodie , jobless , baggy pant fools standing on the streets, acting like animals.. You are afraid to stop and go into a store..If your a woman they look at you like a piece of meat...And believe me Iam not picking on the Balcks....Some of my friends are decent hard working black folks..These blacks are young hodlums that act like they are animals..They have no problem shooting each other to death or anything else..Thats the problem they know if they get caught , they will have T.v , a bed food and cant hang out with their homies for a few years..People iam telling you iam seriously thinking about carrying a gun just to go to the grocery store..Salisbury is not a safe place.. I dont know that we will ever feel safe to live here again.........
ReplyDelete9:22 ha ha, actually I think these young dummies would settle down if they knew their next "easy victim" was ready to put one in them. I'm no advocate of violence but you've got to protect yourself. But I also see plenty of poor white trash hanging out and about doing the same things you complain of.
