There is somewhat of a truth to some of the articles he writes.
For so long, So. Md. has operated with immunity from the harsh city life and people that plagued DC/PG and Baltimore. Now that the area is in ruin, and So. Md. is developing, this attracts pro criminals. The people down here are easy prey. You can thank your state senators and governor for that.... (taking away the right to carry a concealed handgun, the lack of a castle doctrine in this state).
The reality of it is, its only going to get worse. You have 2 choices. Move, or defend yourself. You will watch as the police departments in So. Md. are easily overpowered by the true professional criminals that have years of experience in committing violent crime, and will continue to do so. Not to mention, the influx in criminals will easily overwhelm the justice system in the 3 countys considered to be So. Md.
Its not just in So. Md. either. Its in Howard County. Its in Northern Maryland. Developing counties where the citizens are just denying the fact that "it can't happen here" well its coming and it will. Unless you are able to defend yourself. You must push for that right in Annapolis. Trust me, if the police departments of DC/PG Co. and Baltimore could never get a handle on crime do you actually think the good ole CCSO boys will be able to save you? Haha, just buy yourself a casket now.
In a sad way, the St. Mary's today is telling the truth about what goes on. But perhaps not in the best way to go about doing so. Its true that the businesses in Charlotte Hall have been robbed by crackheads camping out in the woods area nearby in "tree forts" claiming to be from Temple Hills and SE DC area. Its true that there has been an open air prostitution market at some un named hotels in St. Mary's County. The cleanup of Lexington Park is short lived ladies and gentlemen, the beltway crime ring will soon have no limits.
It is also true that the newspapers in So. Md. have avoided the issue for so long because they don't want to push away would be homeowners, and potential buyers. They don't want you to turn on the police scanner and hear what really goes on. Or maybe the fact that the police are having a hard time dealing with the problem, because they lack those Big City skills... Organized drug traffickers vs's redneck police department? I think I know who's going to win that easily. Homelessness will rise. Most cops in So. Md. will tell you that nowadays theres no limit to what they will see. Cracktrade has exploded. I mean it was just years ago that weed was the only thing kids were smokin, that and just drinking, now its PCP, crack, coke, heroin, oxy. no limit to what is flooded into our communities.
Any living being has 2 options in an enviroment like this. Adapt or die. That means either adapt by making common sense laws and empower the people to do something about it, or you might as well move to Va. Move out, and let the crackheads win. The police cannot win this battle, its the citizens that must win it.
It's as if he's finally hit the jackpot or something because the news media in a major market found out about our dirty little secret...
