Not what you think says
Wow you can tell it’s an election year! One thing for sure Bane will not take any credit for the rising crime in sector 10 although he has not added any more patrol Deputies in the area is recent years. It is we’ll know has added many administration positions taking Deputies for the criminal patrol sector ! It’s time for a change I hope to good hard working, tax paying, church going, people of Edgewood realize they are not getting much for their support and tax dollars!!
Provocative says
How about assignment of police officers by geographic area based on individual taxes paid per year of that area?
All those neighborhoods that may only see a patrol car once every six months would have a patrol cars bumper to bumper.
Fee for Service
Nobody could complain then…right?
Monster says
Just want to help Marc Eaton. I know he will be burning this site up with posts in his name and his made-up names. Marc, multiple choice question for you:
A. You live in Harford County
B. You live ih Carroll County
C. You live in Baltimore County
D. All of the above
E. None of the above
F. You don’t know where in the hell you are, let alone where you live
Figure this out before you start bashing Bane again. The correct answer above is time better spent for you.
Marc A Eaton says
Wow, you did this on your own? Again dispute my facts and stop posting stupid crap. Put yourself out there with your real name already. Or are you just afraid to use your real name because you are afraid of me? I have been consistent with my facts since 2010 and you or any other Baners have disputed one thing that I have said. When you can’t come at me with facts you post stupid crap like this. I am a Union Member so this election does interest me. I think people would like to see you dispute what I have said and stop with your childish posts and name calling. Now before you start with the mental and medication comments remember this. Our department has lost two people to suicide which may have been caused by PTSD. We had another attempt suicide and later died of a heart attack at a young age because of this job. PTSD is not a mental disorder. Many people who are wearing a badge are probably struggling with it and are afraid to come forward for fear of comments like you and Proud to be a liberal throw around. Typical liberals who can not hold a honest debate but choose to name call and make fun of people. Bane should be judged by the company he keeps and people who post on here on his behalf. You and Proud are cowards. Just like Bane. Come on you two or you let the people know who you are and where you stand in the Administration. Be brave and show some guts. I am not going anywhere.
Keith Gabel says
PTSD is most certainly a mental disorder, which is why it is important that we remove the stigma attached to it and be sure that those afflicted are given the treatment they need, especially if said disorder was afflicted while in public service.
Pretending PTSD is not what it is only adds to the stigma.
Monster says
Marc Eaton,
Sorry I got to you so badly. I thought this might make you realize how it feels to be torn up personally. As I have said to you before, I would have respect for your opinions if you weren’t just bashing Bane. You should tell us all why Gahler is so good, but you cannot, only you hope he will bring change. I remind you that is how we got Obama.
As far as being scared of you, that is a joke, and so are you. I don’t use my real name to protect my family. You Gahlerlites will stop at nothing. By the way, don’t come off all righteous by saying that you state only facts. That is a pile of crap and you know it. You grind your axe with innuendos, glib comments, and explaining your take on inside information that you claim to have. Your fake names and accomplises do the same thing, so get off the righteous ride.
Marc A Eaton says
First of all, you never get to me. Second dispute any fact I have stated. Closer to the election I will give you two incidents I had with Bane that are still being used by him today. Can you wait that long?
Monster says
Marc, you are so dramatic. You answer what you want and tell everyone that you answer all questions. Why does it have to be in two months that reveal why you hate Bane so much?
Marc A Eaton says
Again, you dispute nothing just ramble.
Monster says
Ramble? You are the one who rambles, playing good cop/bad cop. You even ramble geographically. People find out about you and you have to move?
Marc A Eaton says
Monster, why are you the Bane pit bull on here? You accuse everyone else of getting jobs for supporting Gahler, so what is in this for you. If you used your real name we would know the answer. You give no response to anything I have stated just that I have an axe to grind. Dispute facts and stop with your nonsense and childish behavior. Love to see you and few others who support Bane step up and be honest instead of playing both sides of the fence. You only fear that Bane will lose and you will still need your job.
Monster says
Marc,,
I have asked only one thing from you and the other Gahlerites. Praise Gahler and stop the character assassination of the current sheriff. I know you think that I am in HCSO, but I am not. What I am is a voter. Whatever else I am is none of your business. I will continue to post against you because it’s a personal thing between you and Bane. I doubt Bane even has an idea why you are so angry. I have stated before: Praise your candidate, don’t try to throw mud at the other. As far as what you will gain, it won’t be a job. I am sure Mr. Gahler would be too smart for that. It will be your personal satisfaction that you got Bane. If you are as good a person as you want everyone to believe, you will do as I suggest and stop the Mickey Mouse posts.
Marc A Eaton says
Same old response. No one believes for minute you are not a Deputy. Tell us the good things Bane has done then. I will show you how to dispute misleading facts.
BakersBabe says
You also had an officer who suffered a heart attack and was subsequently off duty for nearly two years while he recuperated. His heart problems were proven to have been caused by the stress and abuse while working at the HCSO. Therefore, after sucessfully suing the county, all of his related medical bills and medications were paid for by the county.
Oh, yes, and he was on the command staff with Lionel…..frequently the recipient of the Shi^ jobs because of his willingness to speak up when things were not being handled as they should have been. His greatest joy? Giving the finger to every Jesse Bane election sign he came across…..

Whoa there says
Where did you get this information? You are making statements about the cause without definitive facts to back it up. What you posted is baloney, no one could prove that. I don’t doubt that his job is stressful, but to blame Bane for it is outlandish. Did he not know what he was getting into when took the oath? Get off the PTSD. If anyone has it, they need to leave the job.
Union Member says
I would bet that it can be proved. Additionally, the poster said that the case was decided in court and the county made to pay for all of the necessary care and medications to treat the PTSD. Sounds like a typical workmans comp issue to me.
Monster says
Union Member, it is not typical to blame the sheriff for someone’s heart attack, and you cannot prove it. The job may have contributed to it, being a policeman is a stressful job. You didn’t know that? Once again, spinning pseudo-facts to fit your story.
BakersBabe says
I know this for a fact…..I knew him quite well. He was a very well educated, well respected member of the HCSO for many years serving in a variety of positions. He was also a vocal member of the command staff. He retired from the SO, remained in law enforcement for a total of 33 years…..
Oh and I also read the information from the court case…..his attorney was awesome!
Mons ter says
Bakersbabe, can you give me some location where I can see the specifics of what was decided? Thanks.
BakersBabe says
Monster,
It was in Harford County District Court……in 1996
Union Member says
Monster, get your facts straight. I’m not spinning anything you dumb ass. If you have a problem with facts you should address your comments to BakersBabe, who is the one making the statement. The Babe also didn’t say the Sheriff caused the health situation, only that Bane was also on the Command Staff at the time. You are in such a hurry to defend Bane because you are so far up his ass that you don’t even stop to comprehend what you are reading.
Mons ter says
Union Member,
I addressed what was stated. You are the one that has reading problems. Just because Bane is in the “leadership team” that doesn’t mean that he caused the heart issue. I must say you are as slow as Marc Eaton. I hope you will read my responses a little more closely next time. Maybe, that is why you are a union member.
Mr Wendell says
Statistics prove that areas with tight gun control always see “upticks” in violent crime. Violent crime started going up immediately in Baltimore and Maryland after Omalley and Brown passed their new laws.
AS says
Gun control this and gun control that (what a joke)…we are a violent nation since sailing over from across the Atlantic.
We can’t even control drugs, heck we can’t even control the laws this great State passes (that was sarcasm just in case you missed it). Oh but Maryland can Tax…they are good at that.
How about the gov’t stops trying to CONTROL everything and just tries to enforce the laws on the books.
And I am not talking about law enforcement, they do their job.
It’s what happens after you are arrested…we need to prosecute fast, firmly and fairly!
I bet if you take all the wonderful citizens who are involved or committed crimes with guns I bet they have one common denominator….prior convictions!
How about we get harder on punishment?
Deterrence is what people understand. We don’t have the greatest military in the world for no reason…it is a global deterrence.
Start punishing…and yes that also means capital punishment.
You go to jail, that means 24 hour lock down…no getting a GED, watching TV, enjoying the a/c, reading books…lock down!
No time off for good behavior…what a joke that is.
Again deterrence. You lose your rights.
We are way to soft a nation…and I believe will be out ultimate demise.
Unfortunately nobody has the fortitude to come out and say and do that. Believe me they would have my vote.
none says
PTSD is a cop out. Anyone who claims to have it should be stripped of their police powers and any access to firearms. Who knows when you might flip out on someone.
Miss Gulch says
@ none, You have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you have an advanced degree in psychology or psychiatry, determinations such as the one you made are better left up to the professionals. Many people have post traumatic stress disorder, and you don’t need to be a policeman to have it. Does that mean that others who are also in key positions to protect the public, should lose their jobs? PTSD is treatable and if addressed early enough, is absolutely manageable.
Marc A Eaton says
My injury was in 1993, I retired in 2002. Never took a life or killed anyone to this day. Big hole in your theory. Many emergency workers are working right now and suffering with it. Sadly I was humiliated for years because of this, but now I choose to help those who are suffering from this. You must certainly are not a cop or in emergency services. You have no idea the things people in our field of work see and deal with. I didn’t want to retire, I had to. I loved my job and if I had been given the help back then that people have now I could still be working. The Sheriff’s Office has a program now and it is headed up by an outstanding man who I have the utmost respect for. Do some research and look into the Code 9 Project before saying it is a cop out.
NH grad says
Please go away Eaton. This is a forum about the community not you…
Marc A Eaton says
Sue thing Mike.
AmerVet says
What I can’t understand is why would someone with PTSD want to be a policeman?
Symptoms of PTSD says
AmerVet,
First of all, thank you for your service.
The symptoms of PTSD (among others) irritability or outbursts of anger, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance (on constant “red alert”) and feeling jumpy and easily startled.
So, your point is well taken.
AS says
I find it very intriguing that when crime occurs, especially on the side of Route 40 near the Bay, we immediately state the police are not doing their jobs. What? I would hope the police would have nothing to do but issues jaywalking tickets.
It is also amazing that when kids don’t do well in school we blame the teachers. What?
It would be nice to hear officers say “man that was one boring shift…nothing going on” or the teacher stating “all my kids were well behaved and respectful today.”
I have not read once anything about PARENTAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
The complete breakdown of the family unit, individual respect, respect for adults is absence.
And I am not even mentioning mental health issues.
We have generations of kids growing up to have kids that have no business being parents….now we are reaping the issues of that.
Look at Chicago over the last weekend (or even Baltimore)…it is safer going on a combat patrol in Afghanistan that it is in the South Side of Chicago.
We can always find fault with our elected officials… but for the most part they come to work every day to do a good job.
We are SO blinded by what the real issues are (political correctness is at fault as well)….go ahead keep blaming the wrong people/agencies, nothing changes but the date.
BC says
Absolutely great point AS. You are demonized in today’s society if you attach any type of stigma to divorce or teenage pregnancies. Sure there are legitimate reasons for divorce, but in today’s America; we walk away from marriage just because we are “unhappy”, “not complete” and other no so legitimate. It’s just so acceptable and easy to walk away and leave kids in single parent homes where they learn how easy it is to walk away and to not work through things. The cycle goes around and around and around, all because of our fragile little feelings. There are great kids raised by single parents, there are some nasty beings raised in two parent homes; but the fact remains kids raised in two parent homes that hold each other and the kids accountable; succeed at a higher rate.
Monster says
Who can argue with what you posted. I agree.
Fred Simmons says
I’m just a small town insurance man from Aberdeen but I know I could clean up Edgewood and that corridor in six months. It would be messy but it would get done.
AS says
Go for it Fred…the status quo is not working.
Aberdeen resident says
Fred, If it were that easy, you would still mayor of Aberdeen.
Marc A Eaton says
You are correct, the public must be involved and understand what you are doing.
Kharn says
Selling tickets to drive the bulldozer for 10 minutes would be a great way to get community involvement.
Vietnam Vet says
Mr simmons, there is no doubt in my mind, you could clean up Edgewood. I watched you work in Aberdeen a long with there police department. team work at it’s best. the sheriff’s department has some excellent deputy’s that would be happy to accompany you’ in your quest to clean the ” Trash” out of Edgewood.
Cheese Patrol says
Jesse Bane has Mildred Sammy up his ass…
Union Member says
The other way around. Needs lots of votes from the Edgewood community. Especially her kind of votes. It is what it is.
Vietnam Vet says
I do not desire to Hi jack this thread, but I have lived with PTSD for years. for some it becomes & excuse for bad behavior. And yes I have Gun’s
Proud To Be A Liberal says
DFC Marc Eaton please stop making false slanderous remarks about me. I never made fun of PTSD or anyone that has it. I believe it is very important that we ALL support Deputies with PTSD. With that said its a pretty coward like move to attack me an say that somehow I poke fun at those with PTSD. Also what questions do you have for Bane supporters? How did this turn into a story that you and your posse of cockroaches want to attack and character assassinate Bane? Are you jealous of Jesse being Sheriff and the fact that you are a character assassinating pen maker? I will give you this DFC Eaton you are one hell of a axe grinder.
Marc A Eaton says
Yep, like a dog with a bone. Cut me down all you want but I plan on being a pain in your, Monster and Bane’s ass until he is gone. You know I retired on the PTSD and you and Monster constantly make remarks about me taking meds or being off meds. Your posts are easy to find. So save it already. I asked my question, but of course you didn’t read it. Come on you passed the Bar exam you must be smarter then this.
Monster says
Mike,
Here is the old dog statement from Eaton, again. Now his posts aren’t always in his name, tut you should be smart enough to know that.
Proud To Be A Liberal says
DFC Eaton- how did I know you retired because of PTSD? You are the one that puts it out on a social media site for everyone to see. The only question I can find on here between all your rambles and personal attacks is am I scared of you? The answer is no I am not, should I be? I make my position clear that I think Jesse Bane is the best choice for Sheriff. You and others may not agree with that and I respect that, but it is my choice. I don’t agree with others who think Jeff Gahler is the best choice BUT I respect that they have the right to choose who they want. What I take issue with is your constant defamation like personal attacks on Jesse Bane instead of stating you like Gahler and why you like him. Your constant acts of ruining articles that have anything to do with HCSO and turning them into a Gestapo like attack on Jesse Bane is getting old. Stick with the facts and stay on topic DFC Eaton. Can you do this DFC Rambo Eaton?
Mike Welsh says
Mr. Eaton is rarely the one who starts any negative comments about Sheriff Bane. More often those comments are initially posted by others and, usually only speak to the policies or press releases sent to the Dagger Press by the HCSO. Most of the comments do not disparage Bane on a personal basis but are focused on his professional conduct as Sheriff.
Just as in this thread, the first post about Bane and the HCSO comes from “Monster” who does what he/she usually does in attempting to goad Eaton into making comments about Bane, and then immediately accusing Eaton of being the one to start all of the negative comments.
Monster says
Mike, you are totally wrong and you know it, Several years ago, Marc Eaton stated that he was like a dog, that once he got hold of something would never let it go. He posts constantly ranging from outlandish comments to he loves his brothers. I hope he loves his sisters also. Say what you want, anyone who reads this site sees how he and other Gahlerlites negatively post about Bane. They don’t like it when I give it back to them, they give but can’t take. I haven’t done anything but show respect for Gahler. You accuse me of goading Eaton. That is a good one. If I didn’t feel sorry for Eaton I would have twisted him into a knot. Now, Mike, go back to the Gahler meeting and find good things to say about Gahler. This is one of your poorer posts.
Discount Doooooooooooooblecheck says
Monster once again please stop saying Gahlerlites. It makes no sense but then neither do you. And leave Marc Eaton alone. Actually, just leave.
Monster says
Discount Doooo,
You can give out a lot of crap, but you cab’t take it. You are a wuss and a whiney weenie. I hope that you are not a deputy because if you are, this county is in trouble. Maybe some of you should be replaced, not the sheriff.
Monster says
Proud,
I have been saying this since the last election and it doesn’t seem to sink in. Instead, Mike Welsh tries to defend Eaton and company.. If I were Mr. Gahler, I would ask Eaton to stop posting, along with some of the others, unless they are going to clean up their act. Thanks for stating this again.
Marc A Eaton says
Please dispute one thing that I have posted. Better yet give me 10 things Bane has accomplished since becoming Sheriff?
Monster says
Marc, Do you read the Dagger. There is a current article of crime reduction. You can read, right?
Jim the Plumber says
I don’t usually agree with Proud but he does make some good points. With that said PTSD is something that is a problem among police and military. It also can be abused, I will give you a fictitious example just for fun- what if you make derogatory comments about someone’s brother and then suddenly claim you have PTSD because you ran your mouth too much. Is that PTSD or a cop out? You decide for yourself
Marc A Eaton says
Is this what you think I have done. I do not use this as a crutch or an excuse. It is what it is and I deal with it and work with others who have it. I stand behind every statement I have made about Bane’s lack of leadership and his ill treatment of people who are not his supporters. I do this with my real name and not like people who hide behind made up names. Proud and the many Monsters are just setting on the fence to see how the election goes. We had them in the Moyer days and still have the fence people today. I would respect you and others more if you would have enough faith in your position to tell us who you are and stop making lies up about why you hide.
Jim the Plumber says
Marc Eaton- what the hell are you talking about? I said “fictitious example”, did you miss that part. If I meant you then I would have put your name. I am on your side but your starting to piss me off. I don’t know you and thus would not talk about you. I will tell you this if you keep this up then we all lose. Stick with the facts don’t look to much into things and learn to let things go. Remember those of us that still work at HCSO deserve to not look like a bunch of idiots.
HERP DERP says
As usual, the same 4-5 people using multiple names to talk to each other.
