Murder USA: When will State Department issue a crime warning for travelers to Baltimore the same as for Mexico and Bahamas?

BALTIMORE, MD. With a soaring homicide rate for 2015 at 38 percent over 2014 thus far this year and murders reaching close to the 100 mark for the year, Baltimore nearly doubled the murder rate for the Bahamas. The U.K. and Canada have both issued violent crime warnings for travelers to the Bahamas. Many cruise ship passengers simply stay on ships that arrive at ports in the Bahamas. Ironically, two ships from Baltimore make regular trips to the Bahamas.

Pirate Poachers of the Chesapeake: Piney Point’s Lumpkins boat caught red-handed with thousands of illegal croakers

The vessel was holding about 14,000 pounds of croaker and other species of fish, many appearing to be undersized. Seventeen NRP officers from four counties were assigned to measure the entire catch, an effort that took 12 hours. The fish were kept under refrigeration in trucks provided by the waterman.
Approximately 3,500 pounds—or 25 percent—of the catch were found to be undersized. Those fish were seized and returned to the water.

Hogan orders cut to arts and boost to cops “…a State Police Barrack in our state capital and adequate funding for public safety in Annapolis must be the priority”

“We are going to move forward with our plan, despite the Speaker of the House’s refusal to introduce a supplemental budget that would have put more State Troopers on Maryland’s highways and funded the re-opening of the Annapolis barrack,” said Governor Hogan. “Our state troopers were an essential element in the restoration of order in Baltimore last month and their exemplary work in the city is evidence of just how much we need these new positions. It is unconscionable to deprive our state capital of a State Police barrack and the troopers necessary to ensure public safety or respond to an emergency.”

Virginia Judges told Portsmouth Sheriff Bill Watson that display of American flag was not “appropriate” for courthouse lobby

Watson said, “They expect my deputies to put their life on the line for a judge. If somebody was going to come into a courtroom with a gun, the deputy is supposed to stand in front of the judge and take a bullet, but yet they won’t let us have our flag, saluting public safety? To me, that’s a slap in the face.”
