Maryland Gang Threat Assessment

Gang activity is not restricted to any single area of the state and gang members do not stop at county lines.
Areas such as Hagerstown, Waldorf, and Salisbury all
experience organized gang activity and the associated violence.
Rival gang expansion in some areas has also pushed gang
members out of the major cities


According to the 2010 U.S. census, the population of Maryland reached 5,733,552, with 9% of the population living below the poverty.

Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland,
with a population of 620,961.

As of  2011, 22.3% of Baltimore City’s
population was living below the poverty
line. The cities of Hagerstown and
Salisbury have seen increased gang
activity and have similar poverty levels but
for much smaller populations
.

Before we worry about these small ineffective so called Gangs,let's get rid of the much larger gangs like the CIA,NWO,NSA,FBI,FDA,NSA you get my drift.

Any time a town or city has an urban blight issue, this will occur and given the status of Salisbury proper and the surrounding communities, this certainly fits. From my experiences within the school system and with local law enforcement, this has been a growing issue in our communities for some time. Unfortunately, our local elected officials are not as engaged in both the reduction of blight and this criminal sector as they would like us to believe.

Unfortunately , our local elected officials are not engaged in any ethics , religion or morals.
If they would address these three , all would be solved.

So no guns for us with speeding tickets or marijuana possession? Dang.

See, its a tough call in determining what a "law-abiding citizen" is.
