If you google "Ridge Belote" you can find his Facebook. Scary guy-one that does not need to be walking among the public.
So the Daily Times publishes a story a few days ago about how crime is down, I am sick of "you know who" at that paper being a mouthpiece and apologist for "Our Faire Mayor".
And Mitchell and Shanie are right there with him. Spouting off ginned up figures that deny the reality of living in our city.
The city needs to end it's status as a Sanctuary and stop the social programs that draw the lowest common denominator like magnets to what was a nice and safe place to live.
Free food, cheap housing, put it together and what do you get?
Salisbury's crime rate.
Thanks Democrats!
The inordinate number of sleaze ball, flea bag motels (flop houses) in such a small area doesn't help either.
@8:32
dumba$$ needs to pull his pants up.
They need to be locked up with the key thrown in the ocean. They do not deserve to walk the streets of society. Let them work in jail , since they can't work outside and have to steal and injure .
I guess he thinks he looks cool 10:11 but in the real world he looks like a complete and total a$$. A total loser who hopefully will become nothing more than a number in the MD State Prison system.
"Ridge FiredaPrince Belote" on Facebook.
Yeah-you a real prince boy. Hope you like prison!
So NO charges concerning having possession of a child that had been reported as missing? WTF?
Shannon, I'm thinking that the missing child thing might not be as sinister as we all are thinking. Supposedly both parents are in jail and the father gave the child to Smith to care for (ugh!) while he was incarcerated.
I don't know who reported the child missing but it doesn't sound like a kidnapping type of thing.
Maybe the child was reported missing by some relatives who didn't know the father had turned the child over to Smith?
