PG County son, what!?!
I’ll take “newspapers headlines from 1812 Alex.”
Be on the lookout for an out of control firearm randomly shooting people. I better check my weapons when I get home to make sure none of them try to walk out of my house and do something like this on their own.
If only Maryland had gun control and Democrat leadership. Then this wouldn’t have happened.
Who can it be now?
The Bladensburg Races?
I was going to make a Battle of Bladensburg reference but you beat me to it LOL.
It’s the damn Amish again!
Prince Georges county......................
3, 2,...... AR-15s/F16/ M1Abrams/Spectre C-130s! Weapons of war on our streets blah blah blah. Toss in some clusters while we’re at it.
America….that’s not my concern BUT Ukraine doesn’t have enough tanks!
“Colmar Manor”
Tells me everything I need to know. Down the road a bit from where I used to live. A definite No-Go/No-Lone Zone.
Is it possible? Could this be the one that the media has been awaiting for so long?
Probably not, but I betcha they are all sitting around like kids waiting for Santa? Hoping. Maybe even praying to Gaia to pleas not let the shooter be .....
Fort Lincoln Cemetery. Many members of my family are buried there.
5 injured after shooting in Bladensburg, nearby roads closed: police
Police Chief says people from one car shot into one other car that was leaving a funeral in the nearby Fort Lincoln Cemetery; no return fire. Five injured people transported to hospitals. He says this sort of thing is unusual for this community. (Interesting to hear -- a friend of mine who has relatives buried there said he never went to place flowers on the graves without packing heat, and that was 20 some years ago.)
Years ago, it had the top public schools in the state. Many years ago.
As of the latest census data, Bladensburg is 1.5% White.
No, I did not put the decimal point in the wrong place.
When I first began working as a lowly GS-7 for the Census Bureau (coming from far away and not familiar with the DC area) in the mid-1980s I almost rented an apartment in Bladensburg. The helpful — VERY helpful — woman from the rental office who was showing me the place said bluntly: “You don’t want to live here”.
And she even recommended a nice place several miles up the Beltway; well, it was nice THEN, but you sure wouldn’t want to live there now.
If she was in the habit of doing that sort of thing regularly, she probably saved countless innocent lives.
I’m sure that is an area considered utopia by PBS, Democrats and the MSM that is inhabited and managed by massive affirmative action hires.
