Bomb Threat Checked Out



First of all I truly want to thank the Salisbury Police Department as well as the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit.

A bomb threat was made on us today from an anonymous commenter. While I didn't want to pay it much attention I was asked to at least contact the Police Department and let them decide if they felt it warranted further action.

Because we received so many threats today and because it is against the law to threaten someone with a bomb, they felt it necessary to search my vehicle as well as my Wife's vehicle.

Fortunately there was no hit from the K-9 Dog and we aired on the side of caution. The investigation isn't over though. IP Addresses can be traced and considering this is a terroristic threat it will not be taken lightly.

Look, I didn't like being placed in this position but I felt my Wife was going to head over to pick up our Grandson and when it comes to them I will NOT take any risks.

The resources this took up today and in the near future is ridiculous and uncalled for.

It seems some will go to very serious extremes to try to scare me off from running for Mayor. Who could be so scared, I wonder? NOTHING you can say or do is going to stop me from representing Salisbury as your next Mayor.

In time we will find out who is behind this and they will get locked up. More to come.

UPDATE: I have spoken to Mr. Robinson tonight who has assured me he attempted to make contact with the FBI but failed. However, he stated that he has made contact with Homeland Security who is going to go onto my site and gain all the access we need to catch the person who made the original threat.

Good, we really don't need that kind of person on here.

Matter of fact, there are a few that post drivel on here that we really don't need. I know, free speech and all that but still, a line needs to be drawn.

People who do things like this must have a really serious mental illness.
Political situations, unfortunately, cause some individuals to lose any sense of decency (if they had any in the first place).

Right On Phil!

Mr. Robinson text me today and stated he was going to be at the Deli tomorrow night.

I guess it's all about attention. It's a free country though, right?

I wish they would just leave us alone. I say 'us' because I feel a kinda friendship with most everyone on here even the ones I disagree with politically and can even forgive the occasional being called an idiot or stupid but bomb threats cross the line.
If they don't like Joe then fine, don't vote for him and most importantly don't come to this site.

The Secret Service should be following you around not the President.

Off topic but I saw the article about Joe in the DT's. I mentioned it here before how impressed I've been with Jeremy Cox who did this story. Just the other day while reading an article on the DT's site I knew without looking that Jeremy had written it- fair and no veiled sarcasism.
If there is any hope left for the DT's someone like Mr Cox needs to be the editor. I'm thinking he is young but already he has what it takes to report the news-period-with no spin placed upon it.

Maybe since I'm coming in late here, but what does Robinson have to do with this?
