Maryland “Freak State” PING!
RIP. Prayers for his family.
Read this sad story the other day....And the sorry S.O.B.
O’Mally wants to do away with the death penalty....Maryland has become Merryland.
thanks for posting
Prayers for him and his family. He looks like he was such a decent, sincere person.
From another article about the double-murderer, Douglas Wayne Pryor:
"Deputies served an arrest warrant at the Hospital at 9:40 a.m. Thursday, charging Pryor with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of reckless endangerment, two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault, and one count of violating a protective order, the Sheriff's Department said."
Once again, a protective order didn't protect anybody. A woman who was forced to be dependent on the judicial lunacy of our state government learned too late that her paper order wasn't worth even the ink it was printed with, and a young law enforcement officer was gunned down by her killer.
Our legislators don't give a damn about how their insane laws endanger all of us. Marylanders are going to have to make their own moral decisions regarding their own personal defense and the defense of their loved ones.
The sooner we recognize that, the better off we will be.
“A Part of America Died”
Somebody killed a police officer today
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
will be buried with him at his side.
Somebody killed a police officer today
it happened in your town and mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors
a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost has the beat
on a dark city street
and he stands at each rookie’s side.
A cop answered the call
of himself gave his all
and a part of America died.
