Maurice Clemmons: Another Criminal Justice System Blunder?

Although none of the crimes reported here occurred in Maryland, I am posting this because it represents what appears to be yet another series of colossal failures of the criminal justice systems of two states.

This could have happened just about anywhere. Four police officers are now dead, very possibly because of these failures. One now has to wonder where the accountability on the part of the public officials who administered these systems will be.

Katz Wins

Sidney A. Katz has been re-elected Mayor of Gaithersburg, as I'd hoped.

An interesting quote about the Gaithersburg election came from a first-time voter in the city:

"I just moved to Gaithersburg two years ago so it's good to get involved," said Amy Sklut, 29, who said public safety is on her mind.

"To keep the area safe, I think. That's the biggest concern — cutting crime," she said.

Savemaryland.com

A website run by concerned citizens in Maryland has been kind enough to give me a voice as a guest blogger. It's called savemaryland.com. Check out the link to see my post introducing readers to the Justice For Safety movement.
