Congratulations Lexington park, you’re the new Waldorf!
They have been the new Waldorf for years
No comparison at all
It’s gonna get worse
It’s only going to get worse. Get your conceal carry permit. A lot of people are getting them. It’s time to start fighting back.

You don’t need one in your home.
You need a permit to buy one HQL.
Someday a real rain will come and wash away the scum off the streets
**Anonymous -SHUTUP!
Make me
Waldorf and Lexington Park could never compare
You better wake up. Lexington Park getting more like PG county. God help us.
Truth! Band together and fix the problem – I’m a gun owner but that’s not the answer; violence begets more violence. Start getting rid of the scum or you’re gonna end up with gangs like PG or Sterling VA.
Same subjects. Same shooters. Same victims. Same outcome. Same response. Thanks joe.
Something just don’t sound right….especially if others were in that area of entry and that neighborhood…WOW.
Dr.Paul kersey report to lex park please
This just breaks my heart. That poor kid.
Doesn’t matter what town city or state
Problem is all the same thugs and people
Democrats are for the criminals. They are not for the victims. Until we vote them out it’s not going to get any better. It’s going to get worse
I’m a democrat and I disagree heartily. Don’t make generalizations. Instead of insults why don’t YOU do something?
How do you feel about Texas Republicans?
Why are you here? Asking off topic questions
Makes no difference where you live gun violence is everywhere, arming yourself may make you feel safe and still fall as a victim. Get your spirit right with God, the only one that can change minds and hearts
So distressing to see these comments. It’s heartbreaking to see this happening in our dear St.Mary’s .
Rather then post snide comments why not offer solutions and support for a community in distress.
Exactly, Helen!!
What do you propose?? I know! Get a army of bulldozers and start with the traffic light at St. Andrews rd and bulldoze everything to the third gate and start over
It’s really sad how Lexington Park has deteriorated. When I lived there, it was NOTHING like this. I visited a few years ago, right before COVID, and if I had been beamed down to the city, I’d have no idea where I was. What can be done to repair the once lovely area? Instead of insults, why don’t the residents and cops come up with a plan?
Paging CCWAM…
it has become an everyday event in the park. what a shame! need to clean the streets.and hold the thugs at task and put them away for good. our justice system in this county needs to step up and protect the law abiding citizens hoping Jami Sterling and whom ever Judge will see to that. a slap on the hand will not due.
It’s that three oaks shelter?? I thought that is supposed to be a safe place? Bad enough our teens are getting shot but now a 9yr old??
Lexington Park is trash! Put a gate around it and keep them all in!
I agree!
We need to come together as a community and hold the repeat criminals accountable time to look at our local justice system. The police arrest them
the judges continually let them out with no consequences. This needs to stop, you read about the same repeat offenders time and time again let out again and again to repeat the same crimes. County Sheriffs has meetings and no one in that community shows up, seems they don’t care.
