(CNSNews.com) - Under the Democratic leadership of Gov. Parris Glendening and Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the State of Maryland has notched the second highest violent crime rate in the nation according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report for 2001.

According to the FBI report, there were 783 violent criminal acts committed per every 100,000 citizens in Maryland during the course of the 2001 calendar year. Florida topped the category with 797.2 per 100,000.

Since Glendening and Townsend, who assumed the role of crime czar, took office in 1995, Maryland's violent crime ranking has jumped ahead of six states to achieve its current standing.


KKT loves criminals more than law abiding citizens or she'd have done her darn job! :burning:

If elected...

The numbers will likely go up even higher after the handgun ban in Jan '03. She'll be safe with her armed guards and bullet-proof limo - will you?
