Why is the paid fire engine crew from Station 16 on Cypress Street dispatched to that call when the Station 2 volunteer firemen are across the street? who from the county authorized this dispatching?

Why is a fire engine crew responding on this shooting call anyway? Is there some kind of fire somewhere?

Butt, Butt, Butt I thought crime was down in da 'Bury. At least that is what Jim Liarton and Fake Jake Day keep claiming. Fake Jake will even go so far as to challenge you on Facebook about it and call you a Troll if you don't agree with that idiot!

Oh wait! Jake Day wants the taxpayers to now give him a full time salary for being the mayor? Jake Day you knew you were getting part time pay when you took this job and now that you are the Mare I don't feel any safer.

Give them more ammo...that whole area needs to be scaled down. Ammo is much cheaper than spending our tax dollars on LE or locking them up.

That is the 2nd murder in about a year within a block of each other. I remember years ago - to great fanfare - a police substation was opened on Church Street. Another was located on Smith Street. Neither did any good so the idea of "community policing" has been (no pun intended) shot to hell.

Then there was an effort to combine patrol officers with probation officers to make "house calls" on high risk offenders (whatever that means) and that failed. Policing in areas of gangs and drugs will not work. Incarceration will work. It will help protect me and my family. I would rather foot the bill of $18,000 annually to lock people up in order to "buy" some piece of mind and safety in our community. Look at all that crap last night from Malls throughout America. Until the African American community leaders and pastors can be strong enough to de-thug-a-tize a town, we are all going down the drain. As much as I support right to carry laws in Maryland I am not sure that's going to work either. I guess I don't have an answer. God help us all.

How would it help anything if the mayor's office reported every crime that occurs in Salisbury? There is a select group on this blog thatconsistantly push this topic. So explain how reporting all crime would benefit the community.

Maybe start with the notion that the citizenry that pays for the city administration has a right to know from those that are accountable to them.

7:03 AM - Used to be in the local paper every day. Journalist used to go down to the station and report on the police blotter.

I fail to understand how putting your head in the sand helps either.
Folks are more proactive when they know something is going on in their community.

If I know there are break in's in my neighborhood, all the neighbors are informed and watching out. That way we get to catch the perp. Keep it silent and his misdeeds go on longer than need be.

The Mayor and his lies are a bad joke on his community, but then we know he only cares about his political aspirations and doesnt give a fart about the citizens he is keeping in the dark

How about the fact that it alerts the general public as to which neighborhoods are unsafe to travel, for starters.

This blood shed should be on the hands of Jake Day, city council and the incompetent Chief. Everyone needs to remember this when these fools come back up for election. Jake again going into a new year has failed to do anything with SPD and the city council has failed to discuss or push a change. It is only going to get worse people. Demand the change at SPD. Someone needs to gather the people and attend a city council meeting and demand answers. This is the only way change will happen. Thanks Jake for not honoring your word of fixing SPD when you were campaigning. You have big problems there and why do you refuse to fix it? This will become your ultimate demise at your next Mayor run. The people will not forget and to fix months before your election is being a coward. As a military man, grow a set and led.

7:39 Is right. We need to know and communicate what is going on so we can be ready and vigilant. Siloam had some cars broken into recently, and we communicated and kept an eye out for each other. Whoever is doing it better be very careful because there are a lot of eyes watching. The reason the bad neighborhoods continue to be bad is because no one cares what's going on around them. Indifference is the enemy of good people.

It's called a medical assist. Believe it or not but a paramedic and EMT can't handle every medical/trauma scene by themselves. It was reported that one of the patients was in trauma arrest. Without a Lucas automated compressions device, an arrest requires 3 people; 1 to secure the airway and provide ventilations, 1 to perform compressions, and 1 to manage the cardiac monitor/defibrillator, establish IV access, and push meds. Not to mention the fact that there were 2 patients shot.

Ask the deputies how they feel about Lewis, all show, legend in his own mind. How is the crime picture overall in the county, take alook, they mix the numbers so no one agency looks bad. Lewis is never around and baker is an empty suit scared something is going to happen. Wake up wicomico county.

As Trump said...elections are rigged. Especially starting at the bottom of the barrel. It makes no difference who you want in office, there are a select few that run this town just like other towns. They pick their golden boy or girl and get behind the loser so they can give that loser his or her marching orders. I keep promising myself not to vote again, but keep breaking my promise. I thought Joe A was the best mayoral candidate due to experience, but again "they" had others plans. Those plans are always to benefit the certain few and not the minions. Trump was the exception, thank the Lord.

Joe, I hope you repost this story at week's end and continie to invite comments.
This is a very real and growing problem for our home. Mayor Day has, as yet, failed to publically recognize and acknowledge the problem. His refusal to address the problem in turn offers not an ounce of solution.
The public should demand it. Community, business, political and religious leaders need to take a stand and open the eyes of this yoing, inexperienced and frieghtened neophyte mayor. We need mature, experienced, capable, politically willed leadership - now!

I've got an idea, get rid of the City Administration, the Assistant City Adminstrator, the City Clerk, the PIO positions and several of the secretaries in the Mayors Office before we start thinking "Full Time Mayor" salary!

Well all the back room politics and good ol boy agendas has finally caught up to salisbury. The bottom line is all the deals made through the mayor's office and certain contractors instead of directing resources to really clean up the city. And then you have council president Cannon who provides bare minimum slumlord housing in the area. This family has ripped off the tax payers for decades and this type of low standard housing needs to be shut down

The Salisbury Mayor is an example of what is happening to America. The men have become so feminized that they don't know how to lead.
We even have a woman as Police Chief! Isn't that perhaps the ONE EXAMPLE of a career that should be a man? Geez We are talking about PROTECTING the public. Shouldn't a man be one doing the protecting? Really?

A little common sense would go a long way.
