Rabbi Will McCubbins, China Grove
♦ If you have to travel into Salisbury at all, pack. The criminals in Shotzbury have their run of the city. It doesn’t matter whether its daylight hours or night time you could easily become a target. Always remain alert and aware of your surroundings. Get a concealed carry permit and a good handgun with knockdown power. During the Holiday season Shotzbury becomes even more dangerous because the criminal element knows you are carrying a lot of cash. They look for women leaving banks and ATMs. Or a woman alone in a bank parking lot is easy prey. Carjacking is real big in Shotzbury.
I’m sorry to see things got so bad down in Shotzbury. Believe it or not, it used to be a good place to live maybe a decade ago.
If you are still living there, think of joining a real town watch and not one of these phony town watches that hides what is actually going on from the public. The fake ones promote going to SNAG Meetings, joining the Salisbury Citizens Academy and other conduits of Salisbury city hall’s disinformation and cover-up of the heavy criminal activity going on down there. Watch out for the leadership of the Town Watch groups if they have a real estate owner. They don’t want any word getting out about runaway crime when it will devalue their properties. They could care less about your safety.
If you are forced to go to Shotzbury, go armed. The police are a total non-factor down there.
