The Judges in this county are the ones who are most responsible for this. The criminals who do this are repeat offenders given a slap on the wrist for past criminal activity. Read the news reports. LEO’s catch them and the charges are Fellon in possession of weapons or they have a past history of drug dealing and violence. Then the court commissioner lets them out on PR. Jaymi Sterling, and the staff have gotten the message that law-abiding citizens are tired of this, they ask for the maximum sentence and the Judges gives the max with less than half active, if that! Time for the Judge to get tough or get new judges.
Good job st Mary’s police dept. there may be shootings in the park every night but at least we don’t have people speeding in mechanicsville. Small price to pay to keep our streets from being violated with speeders
So you don’t mind people going three times the speed limit and killing kids? At least the shootings in the park are targeted gang/drug violence.
