Two blocks from Rockville City Police headquarters. This is the reason that fully half of Town Center is vacant. Monique and her merry band have done little to maintain public safety.
ReplyDeleteThey let it become an open range shooting gallery.
DeleteAs the ladies down south would put it; "Bless your heart".
DeleteRockville was the hub of political and judicial power but it has been transformed into a contemporary Gotham City.
DeleteSuch a tragedy and so sad,and Montgomery County and Maryland voters just voted for more of this.
ReplyDeleteGluttons for punishment.
DeleteYou can't vote away crime yah eddy it.
DeleteThis crime appears to be perp to vic meaning they knew each other and had a beef to settle. Nothing can be done politically to stop such crimes in our or any society.
DeleteWrong
DeleteTerry Vs. Ohio Supreme Court ruling on stop and frisk. Police can stop someone and pat them down if reasonable suspicion is there. Look,I'm 60 years old and remember the terrible crime in America during the 1980s and 1990s, don't tell me nothing can be done to stop crime, you both sound like less than intelligent people. In 1990s under President Clinton crime bills were passed with Joe Biden playing a major role in passing them.if you can just get off of your woke high horse, crime can be curtailed. If people have a fear that they might be stoped by the police, they probably aren't going to carry an illegal gun outside.
DeleteAnd the most recent business to lease space is Ismash, which is a place for people to go to smash up household goods and electronics. Smashed up electronics are hazardous waste.
ReplyDeleteI hope the developer that bought 255 Rockville Pike is required to build the apartment building they designed. It would add potential customers for local businesses and Metro. They recently proposed other uses, including a trampoline park for children or a car dealership, both of which would be vacant after dark.
And the Rockville library is like a homeless shelter with filled with the mentally ill and substance abusers.
DeleteCar dealership, trampoline park, myths. These uses are not permitted there.
