Murder USA: The Rooster of Norris Road – Joseph Desales Thomas – Sought in Stabbing

GREAT MILLS, MD. — Joseph Desales Thomas, 51, of Great Mills is suspected by police of carving up a couple of his pals. The attempted murder took place at the Norris Road project just off Chancellors Run Road in Great Mills, Md.

Given his record at impregnating numerous women, at least four, according to court records, the sooner the cops find this guy and get him behind bars, the less of a danger to the taxpayers who have been paying to support his growing herd of kids roaming the hinterlands. Courts stopped forced sterilization decades ago therefore the only way to protect the taxpayers is to get this guy behind bars and hope he doesn’t knock up a jail guard such as takes place in the Maryland prisons in Baltimore.

Dodge City Update: Sydney Strain charged in Lexington Park gunfire rampage

Sydney Strain Charged with Lexington Park Gunfire Rampage

LEXINGTON PARK, MD. – St. Mary’s Sheriff Tim Cameron reports the arrest of local thug Sydney Strain, the second suspect in the gangland style series of shootings which had the Lexington Park area on pins and needles for several days. While Sydney is a really sissy name for an aspiring hoodlum, his street cred for allegedly being involved in a series of shooting may result in him being able to obtain a new nickname if and when he goes into the Maryland prison system. Maybe he will be able to get good nickname like “Spike” or “Fifty-Nine Cents” or even “Ghetto-Blaster”!

The wild-west Anacostia and Baltimore ghetto-type of shootings resulted in the deployment of most of the Sheriff’s Department into the Great Mills, California and Lexington Park communities for several days.
