Ocean City has always been a respectable place to take your family – i can tell you eveyrone who has gone there for years will not tolerate this crap! don’t come to OC if you plan on being a thug!
Now that this violent incident has occurred, I will be so comforted by “issued a statement emphasizing that the city’s law enforcement team would diligently enforce all laws to ensure public safety,” so the next violent incident can’t possibly occur, since we have already passed the law that diligently prevented this current stabbing
This is why we have a Second Amendment! Eliminate the problem. Eliminated problems have a 0% recidivism rate.
