What has happened to America?

When the Supreme Court kicked God out of the schools and the public square back in 1962 and 1963, apparently God took the hint and left?

What did the cannibal Hottentots ever do to you, that you would compare them to the barbarous denizens of Prison George’s County?

I grew up in Cheverly. That area is outside of it and somewhat industrial. Very sad.

Isn’t the crime technically under Federal jurisdiction?

“Murder of a federal government employee while in the course of his duties, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1114 and 111.”

Bottom line, is if they find out who did this, their sentence will start with 20 years, and add the maximum of any other charge beyond that.

Their used to be special circumstances for robbery or murder of a Post Office employee, and they were extra harsh.

used to be the mailman, the phone guy and tv guy got a pass from the ghetto trash if they wanted to continue to get their welfare check, talk on the phone and watch tv...

now days in the EBT Nation, their cards are replenished at the welfare office, their 0bamaphone gets it's minutes from the welfare office and only the tv guy has to show up to install or repair their stuff

Why do you ask? Has AG holder determined that he has threatened to expose some aspect of Barky's past? Expect him to die in a spectacularly fiery car crash very soon then if that is true.

“cannibal hottentots”? Is that a synonym for DIMocRATs? It is sad that there are so many street apes roaming the urban jungle.

Prince George’s County. Forty years ago it was pleasant, bucolic even. Now, I would avoid it even in the daytime. Demographic change.

Notice the story was published by the British paper. Seems like a lot of the bad stories are first published by the British papers and not locals.

That’s because our media is full of happy news about Dear Leader.

The Daily Mail used an AP article for the basis of its article. The story was reported by several domestic sources.

I don’t have a clue, but there is a “motive” here somewhere?!

Most likely black on black violence. Life is cheap—poor guy doing his job and then gets popped. Sick society.

Probably because having a job is seen as "acting white".

Very sad story. Saw this on FOX 45 News out of B’more. Of course, the union clowns used the story as an excuse to complain about being overworked.
