Gardina: You might get shot

GardinaDoes Perry Hall have an unreported violence problem? Are its residents armed to the teeth?

Apparently Councilman Vince Gardina thinks so or he would not have warned a Kingsville resident to be careful about removing advertisements from the windows of cars.

Mike Pierce, a community activist from Kingsville, testified today in favor of a bill that would create a do-not-deliver list for companies that place fliers at county residences. The bill, sponsored by Councilman John Olszewski Sr., would also prohibit leaving fliers on car windows.

Pierce presented the council with a 3-inch thick stack of glossy fliers from a local insurance agent he said that he took off the windshields of cars parked at a Park and Ride lot in White Marsh.

“I’d be careful taking fliers off car windshields if I were you,” a grinning Gardina told Pierce. “You might get shot. Especially in Perry Hall.”
