Police shut down Leonardtown Middle School evacuate
students every time there is a bomb threat...this was the scene last Friday when St. Mary's Sheriff's
deputies had the school parking lot blocked off, as if the bomb threat maker was going to
flee the premises or another bomb thrower was going to drive into the building with a
Ryder truck... at some point, officials must come up with an appropriate response that
doesn't reward the crank caller.George

Hundreds March for Life on Rt. 235
A large demonstration for life and against abortion was
conducted on Rt. 235 last week, with hundreds of people --- men, women and children ---
carrying signs and symbols calling for respect for life. The marchers lined the
highway, actually lining the entire stretch of roadway from California to Lexington Park.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or
ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend,
oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
It wasn't President George W. Bush, even though this statement is a similar sentiment
espoused by him since we were attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. The quote is from
President John F. Kennedy's inaugural address.

Boozing Driver Roars Past
Police At Over 100 MPH
HERMANVILLE --- A Ridge runner was drunk
and driving like a madman early on Saturday morning as he blew past a Maryland State
Trooper and then wiped out on Hermanville Road when he lost control on the winding and
narrow back road. A Deputy couldn't keep up with the speeding but untalented driver who
will never make it in Nascar. Real race car drivers are sober. The mental
midget took out a mailbox and a few trees and then was handcuffed and jailed, leaving his
poor old mom to have to deal with her grown son's abuse of her car. Police report he
was driving without a license, as his last one was taken away in another alcohol incident.
Henry Robert Madjeski, III, 20, was charged with DWI by Deputy Connelly, according to Sgt.
Gerald Johson of the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Department.

The Latest News
on DC Sniper Case
The federal Bureau of Justice Assistance has issued a
210-page report on the Washington (DC) area sniper shooting in Oct. 2002. The section on
information tech and automation is highlited by the quote from Asst. Chief William O'Toole
of the Montgomery County Police Department, "The sniper case started and ended with a
call to 911." At one point, the report notes that The "1-800 Tip Line" was
never completely integrated with the FBI's lead management system. "This
created considerable difficulties for tracking information during the investigation,
including being able to identify which jurisdictions had leads and the progress they were
making on them." The report outlines setting up calls centers and info systems, and
provides an essential explanation of how to organize such investigations and
available federal resources. Download (pdf) a copy at:

CALIFORNIA, MD. (Nov. 12)
--- A former Giant Food employee attempted to rob a Chevy Chase bank employee loading an
ATM in the Giant Food in First Colony, according to Maryland State Police Barrack
Commander Lt. Brian Cedar. An off-duty Fairfax County police officer fired
shots when he attempted to stop the bank robber and the robber then turned and aimed his
weapon at the officer. The officer missed and the crook fled. The crook skidded out
of control on the wet roadway and crashed in a stormwater pond behind the Lowes hardware
store across the street. The getaway car was pulled from the pond and towed to
Leonardtown for a crime lab examination. St. Mary's Sheriff's deputies were on the
scene first with Maryland State Troopers assisting. More as this story develops and more in the print edition this

Tipsy Mom Arrived to Pick Up Kid;
Arrested for DWI
First report is that no one is injured on Chancellors Run Road where a school bus hit a
stopped state police cruiser. Cpl. Chip Ewing reports that Trooper Evans was giving
assistance to motorists who had wrecked at Norris Road and Chancellors Run Road in
California, when a school bus came along and sideswiped the trooper's patrol car.
The car was still driveable. When a mother came to pick up one of the kids who was
in the first wreck, she was found to be drinking and blew a .25 on the portable breath
test, meaning she was soused. She was arrested and someone else had to come
pick up the kid.
Smart Ass Black Bar Owner or Racist
Deputy with a Cocky Attitude?
Those were the issues on the table
at the St. Mary's Liquor Board hearing on Wednesday, Nov. 10th. Read the story of
what took place during several bar checks by St. Mary's deputies and behavior of bar owner
Ken King. The liquor board voted 2-1 to revoke his license and fine him $1,000, one of the
few times the board has cracked down on bars in recent years. King was either stupid and
interfering with a deputy checking out a suspicious car in the bar parking lot or Deputy
Charles Earle just had a chip on his shoulder, depending on who the board wanted to
believe. They decided to believe the deputy. King runs one of the few black bars in
the county but white bars with more severe problems are never treated as severely.
Each week, as many as a dozen police cars show up for fights, stabbings, shootings, drug
dealing and even a murder exactly one year ago at tthe Brass Rail Bar in Great Mills.
What sanctions are placed against the Brass Rail? NONE. Political
honcho Dickie Gatton, owner of the hellhole bar in Great Mills is pals with the
powers that be and nothing ever happens to his bar but when a black bar owner shows his
butt to police, he is put out of business. Are the actions of the liquor board
racist? We report, you decide.

The Charles County Sheriff's Dept.
will be offering signs for stores with this advise, or close to it, for stores to post at
doors as part of a special seminar this month for stores on how to avoid being robbed by
the black males who specialize in unloading area stores of their money rather than work
for a living....in robbery after robbery, the lookout for the gunmen who have stuck up a
string of local businesses have been black men. When white or green guys start
committing the robberies, their race will be disclosed in our reports as well, but for
now, black males are the bandits of the day!
Attend the seminar and learn how to avoid
