Was the 'unspecified weapon' a firearm of a sharp object?
Under current Council rules, is this even a crime?
Glad he was arrested!
Very scary, but good to know the police have apprehended him.
Post the damn picture!
County rules qualify for the list of shortest books.
He'll be out soon thanks to soft on crime in Rockville. Thanks Dem voters
Kinda like your development.
We know, if there's no picture, what it's all about.
1104 -WTH?
What was he going to steal ? That is the worst Target. They invariably don’t carry what I want and have to head to Rockville.
No one said criminals were smart but the liberals in charge make it so there are no consequences so here we are.
Elrich, Raskin, Van Hollen & Moore care more about illegals and criminals than citizens. Trump has proven them all incompetent.
I’m neither liberal nor conservative.l which seems impossible to most folks for some reason. But use a different case to spout liberal hate. The dude is being held without bond and was arrested fairly quickly.
8:46 - Yes. And hopefully MoCo voters, who elected them all, are finally walking up. Don't count on it. Meanwhile, bike lane network, which is rarely used by anyone, will expand all over the county. Great.
Top 20 cities that have the highest per-capita violent crime rate are all liberal run democrat cities that have implemented policies that foster crime. At least Bowser in DC acknowledged yesterday the huge reduction in crime over the last 20-days. Funny how the progressives from the "safest" parts of DC are the ones protesting while those who live in the areas most affected by crime are lauding the increased police presence.
How did a comment about bike lanes get into this discussion? Next, we'll be revisiting the perennial issue (in comments on on this site, at least), of blue lights on police cars.
4:08, one 'attaboy' hardly undoes all the other 'WTF's. Just saying...
