But crime is DOWN in Salisbury!
"But crime is DOWN in Salisbury!"
What makes you think this was a crime? It will probably be classified as "roommate accidently drops knife" or maybe "resident slip and fall, impales self on sharp object".
Sounds domestic. I can see more of this happening.
Lucky family for some closure not all in this county or city have been so lucky. God bless them.
Way way down!
like anything good happens at 1:00 AM. I have no sympathy for those who willingly - despite the dangers and risks - "hang around" until an argument, shooting, or stabbing occurs. Alcohol, drugs/alcohol/culture = murder
Those Apartments on East Road has very poor and despicable management
Its a mess in them apartment
Aren't those apartments all Section 8? If so, why is the gentleman living there? I am sure we, the taxpayers, are paying for this woman and her children to live. I swear I am so sick of the handouts!! People need a hand up not a hand out. Section 8 and welfare have become a lifestyle. Tragic but true.
Until you been in a abusive situation i doubt you can reason why someone stays. Fear is a big reason. Look what happend to the girl in princess anne & she didnt "hang around". Domestic violence is real & not to be taken lightly.
