STAY SAFE MOCO
Rehoboth Beach has a great feel. Ocean City is a fun getaway, the Outer Banks, the Maryland mountains, lots of places call to us in the summer. Did you have a chance to get away? I hope so.
The summer is coming to a close and believe it or not after Labor Day is when people decide who to vote for, Congress, Senate and the White House. Important races and we take them all seriously.
But as summer closes we also get back to our regular lives. Let’s be safe out there! There are no more cops in the schools, shop at CVS and you see a lot of things locked up, most grocery stores now have security, and some check your bags. And if you follow the local news there’s an increase of violent crime on the streets. The media and the press are reporting it.
It shouldn’t be that way, you shouldn’t feel stupid paying for your own stuff while you watch other people walk out the store without paying. You shouldn’t be worried that your kids going to a football game at their high school are going to see a fight break out instead. And you shouldn’t be afraid that your daughter working as a cashier at a local store is gonna be robbed, or assaulted, or worse.
Crime and violence are on the rise and we need to stop it. It is NOT ACCEPTABLE. No more defund the police, let them know we back the blue. Stand up for what’s right. Respect the cops, the teachers and shopkeepers.
Stay safe MoCo.
Let me know if you think things are getting better or worse.
