United in the Fourteen Words--"We must secure the existance of our race and a future for White children", Maryland White Pride seeks to bring together fellow White Marylanders who have pride in their race, culture and heritage. There exists today a blatant double-standard in government, the media and in society, where people of any race, creed, or ethnic group may be proud of who they are with the exception of White people. As members of the dispossessed majority of Maryland, we believe that we have no place in the current system. We are trapped between those that sell us out and bleed us dry on a political level and those that rape, rob, and murder us on a street level. And whereas we do know that Race transcends both the political and street level, we oppose anyone of any race who ruins the future of the decent and hardworking people of our communities.

Waldorf, Md. Mall Shut Down During Mad Dash for Air Jordans

December 23, 2011

On December 23, 2011, at approximately 5 a.m., security personnel at the St. Charles Town Center requested police assistance in reference to a large crowd.  Deputies from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office arrived on scene to discover hundreds of people waiting outside the mall entrances for the sale of the new Air Jordan XI Retro Concord tennis shoes.
With a limited number of shoes available, people began lining up overnight for an early morning opening. Police were reportedly out in force. The crowd became disorderly shortly after 5 a.m. and forced their way inside the mall near the food court entrance and once inside ran toward each of the six shoe stores inside the mall.
A few scuffles broke out as people jockeyed to get in line again. Forty officers were on scene. Six arrests were made. Of the six arrests, four were juveniles and two adults. One officer suffered a minor injury to his hand.
Deputies had shut the mall down for about 45 minutes while the crowd was disbanded. Police remain on scene and continue to monitor the situation. Other area malls had a much worse situation. According to a press release from Anne Arundel County Police, Westfield Annapolis Management consulted with the stores selling the shoes and the pre-sale was cancelled.
The St. Charles Town Center  has been reopened for business.  More information to follow as it becomes available.
