Go ahead and stir that RACIST crap till it stinks.

This will be placed right between the Domestic Abuse and Child Abuse memorials. If we're going to try to be the "woke" capital of the East Coast, let's not stop there. Every injustice needs a monument, right?

Another Democrat ploy to try to get the vote of the suckers who will fall for it. Another insidious attempt to divide and conquer.

Good, so who should we lynch first? Pelosi, Shummer, Bugeyes, Hillary?

How about a memorial to people who bust their rear ends everyday only to see their hard earned tax dollars squandered away on Liberal B.S. Or better yet a memorial to the person standing in line at the grocery store with their cart full of store brand items and bargain items. While in front of them is the person loaded up with all the name brand foods and expensive items using a welfare card to pay. It's even better when the welfare card doesn't cover some things and they pull out a wad of cash to pay for the rest.

Now there is a monument you can stick your chewing gum to.

Ok of the 3 do we even know what crimes they committed to have been hung? Transparency is everything don't forget. And if history serves me white people have been hung in this country to do they all get monuments? Answer these questions Jake and why your at it when does your wife's trial come up so we can mark that on our calendars?

Jake worships the black man. Apparently, he was not alone.

WTH!! Democrats are acting like fools every day wanting to erase ALL HISTORY from every state and now this darn FOOL wants to stir up a stink pot????? OMG you just can not fix STUPID!!!!!

You will remove war markers and memorials but want to a totally put up a memorial which is a painful part of history? I will be greatly offended by such a racially divisive monument. As such may seek to sue the city over such a monument!

Cambridge will be next. They had their last lynching in the early 1900's when a black man raped a white woman. He was hung in spring valley by the court house. That's where they had their public hangings.

Really? I agree with last post about putting murals up about those who bust their ass everyday, not those who suck off our sytem and get recognized. These liberal asses need to be taught a lesson not rewarded

The more you stir the pot the more it stinks.

I think Salisbury can use the money elsewhere.

Seems like every time I say to myself "That's the stupidest thing he's ever done" Jake comes up with something even worse.

Maybe I should just be quiet.

This is being done in Somerset County too.

If you read the comments on the FB page you will see that Maurice Shearer exposes his ignorance regarding General Winder and how Wicomico County was created out of parts of Somerset and Worcester. Liberals just think they are so smart but prove their ignorance in many ways.

Give me strength, what else can this idiot come up with. Does Salisbury really have money to waste like this? What about all the roads? Worst place on the shore to pass through because of the roads and detours and orange cans sitting everywhere. Give it a break idiot. Do something constructive for this town for a change.

Jake Day is going to honor murderers. Yes, they were wrongly dispatched extrajudicially. Many criminals were at the time. That’s not memorial worthy, neither are the murderers that were rightfully punished by mobs fed up with black on white crime. Justice prevailed.

yamahaawama is a one track mind fixated rabble rouser. He's the Groundhog Day of picking a scab.

The event happened eons ago and few are still alive who were alive then, let alone played a part in it. It was wrong then. But creating grievances today about a rare wrong a century ago is misguided and divisive.

Plus, while Joke is pretending to drum up new business and jobs, what company is actually drawn to consider locating in such a backwards looking negative environment?

Northwest Woodsman: As I alluded to in my comments a day or so ago, certain cultural norms of the 1930s had a positive effect on controlling behavior and crime rates due to the threat of violence against criminal elements. Looking at the current crime and violence situation in Salisbury and most other major cities, we should revisit those early days when extra legal activities provided a disincentive to those elements who have, since at least the 1960s, been given the freedom to roam our streets with impunity and given protection by the federal government.

Then someone will get upset that it was Confederate sympathizers who did the lynching and Jake Day will turn around and orfanize a protest to tear it down. Keep chasing your tails, idiots.

Jake Day continues on with his irratic, irrational behavior typical of someone struggling with some serious mental health and substance abuse issues. I don't know what your infatuation is with drudging up century old social issues unless it is to undoubtedly repeat them. Jake don't you think offering your wife up to all of the little thugs at Bennett was enough? If that's what you choose to do in your personal life so be it but STOP subjecting the rest of us to live in this constant reminder and racial divide. Get some help idiot

well this is how progressives work. They can't figure out how to accomplish things that actually make peoples lives better. so they virtue signal with stupid ideas like this that actually help no one but sure makes the libtards feel better!
What a joke this town has become under these demonicrat fools!

Jake Day stop it already. Your endless support for frivalous progressive ideology is becoming an embarrassment for all citizens of the city and county. If you really want to do something needed for the black and immigrants why don't you petition Purdue farms for better working conditions and benefits

Best comment is from 1:22....obviously the Salisbury government is not concerned about those who actually work for what they have.

Dear Jake
Fix your crackhead wife, finish all the road construction in Salisbury and then maybe we can discuss my tax dollars being spent on a monument to honor murderers.
Remember if said monument is erected I will be the first one out there spray painting graffiti all over it and then I’m going to protest to have it removed because it hurts my feelings😁😎 #youcantfixstupid

Wonder what little Shabby Schlabee will get.
Ben Rainman Rayne will get his guberment job back and Seamie Benn will get nuffin. Loser Mike I gots investments Welker will get the good ole boys support for his next losing race. Wonder what Jackie I'm so important Welfonder wants. Tell us Jackie, what did you ask for?

Here's another laugh for you. House for sale on Riverside Dr. and in the description it says - Located in the heart of Salisbury and biking distance to Salisbury University (1 mile)!

$250,000 house but you can bike to SU ! Who are the targeting for buyers? College Kids? Cyclists are less than 1% of the population and thats their advertising ploy?

Let's see now: Harriet Tubman memorial at SU(✓) LGBT crosswalk (✓) LGBT flags and murals downtown (✓) Infamous mural on route 13 and church honoring so called pioneers in salisbury's history (✓) destroyed downtown businesses with 3 years of unnecessary construction (✓) bike paths and lanes for less than 1% of residents (✓) and now a lynching "shrine" to honor a murderer (✓) man I don't know what salisbury would do if it got any better. From where I stand you CHILDREN playing politics aren't bringing people together you're causing more divide. Personally I think it's a terrible statement with all so called progress when you base decisions on half truths

"It was wrong then."

No, what was wrong then was these 3 black thugs murdered a white person and at least one was a boss who employed the thug! These people murdered WHITE people. WTF is wrong with you dumb a$$es! Why can't you understand that. These black thugs murdered white people and they don't deserve a monument because Justice was served. What about the people who are living today that were descendants of the poor white people who were murdered?? You dumb a$$es are just as indoctrinated as Jake Day and his rabid Socialist followers!!

He never has an original idea or has any projects completed, like roads, clean up this nasty dirty city, have businesses paint their buildings especially up rt 13 North. Some haven't been painted since I've lived here and that's been 72 years. End one construction problem before you have everything tore up in all directions. Jake the Fake another four years I hope those that voted for him now realize he didn't finish anything in his first four years and it will be the same the next four.

Crimes lol. When did a black man have to commit a crime to be hung? I think thats the point of the memorial.

He should be spending most of his time finding businesses to come here. What happened to Motorola? He said he was speaking with them. Probably a Motorola Retail Cell Phone store anyway. We need better jobs and basic infrastructure repaired... like the roads.

"...do we even know what crimes they committed to have been hung?"

Yes, MURDER!! Matthew Williams had a dispute with his white employer over wages. When the argument was over the employer was dead and Williams was wounded.

Matthew Williams worked at the Elliott Box and Crate Factory and killed his boss

Anonymous said...

This is what Jake Day doesn't want you to know. Matthew Williams murdered D.J. Elliot, his boss who happened to be a white man. Matthew Williams grew to be a black racist thug. Screw Jake Day and his racist monument against white people. Funny thing is that moron Jake Day is white.

During the afternoon of December 4, Matthew Williams went to the office of his employer, Daniel J. (D.J.) Elliot, local lumberyard and box factory owner, apparently to discuss his low hourly wage. Williams had been a laborer for Elliot since childhood, and to all who knew him, was liked by and extremely loyal to the Elliot family. D.J. Elliot was in his office located on Lake Street talking on the phone with another Salisbury businessman, Thomas Chatham, when Williams entered around 2:00p.m.. According to Chatham, who heard the incident over the phone, he remembered no words were spoken and that two gunshots were fired. Chatham immediately called the authorities. The authorities found D.J. Elliot dead at his desk, his son, James Elliot present, and Matthew Williams incapacitated by several gunshot wounds.

James Elliot would state that he had heard the shots from the house and ran to investigate, finding his father dead and Williams lying on the ground in a pool of blood. As James ran for help, Williams recovered to flee towards the lumberyard, only to be stopped by James Elliot with gunshot wounds to the shoulder and leg.

Since there are no current 'tragedies' caused by the white man against blacks, there is nothing to whine about. So, we all know the black man likes to whine and bringing up things that happened in the last century should suffice.
