Need strict laws on gun control

No one should kill and get away with it, it's just not right. He knew exactly what he was doing when he was doing it.

Karen Metz (Hagerstown, 2023-04-10)

The men killed and injured were my friends and co-workers. Their deaths/injuries deserve justice. The coward needs to be held accountable for the actions he took.

Dawn Greene (Hagerstown , 2023-04-10)

#206

The killer is responsible for the death of the deceased and releasing him is not justice.

Manuel Mendez (Waynesboro, 2023-04-10)

My sister was one of the fortunate ones to have her life spared that day... for all the families and her and her family to have suffered at the expense of a knowing full aware of the his actions person like Joe which he should be tried for his heinous crimes that he knowing did .. Trial by jury to convict him of Murder plain and simple he is a criminal, a murder!!

I’m signing this because I believe the defendant should be held criminal responsible and should serve a life sentence in prison. 3 of my co-workers lost there life’s on that day another was rushed to the icu with multiple gunshot wounds along with a police officer in attempt to stop the defendant. These men and there families deserve justice and what the courts have provided so far doesn’t even come close.

Hunter Schlotterbeck (Little Orleans , 2023-04-10)

I’m am signing this because regardless of one’s mental state you are and should always be responsible for your actions no exceptions if you feel as though you are not well there are many resources available for you to reach out for help before you get to a point of taking innocent lives. What really has happened to our justice system this man deserves to never see the lite of day just as the innocent lives he took never will.

Toma Price (Mont Alto, 2023-04-10)

This man murdered 3 innocent people. He needs to spend his life in prison. This is unacceptable for this murderer to not be in prison. He should NEVER be released from jail. Shame on this judge

Kristen Basore (Hedgesville , 2023-04-10)

Justice needs to be served

Jesse Kegley (Martinsburg , 2023-04-10)

#218

He should not be free while families suffer because of his actions. At a minimum he should spend the rest of his life in prison. I believe in the death penalty in cases like this where there is no question, he is guilty without a doubt.

Vince Nee (Hagerstown , 2023-04-10)

#220

These family's deserve justice..He was fully aware and chose to make the decision to do what he did now the families deserve to see him rot in prison for the rest of his life...so at least the families can live with out fear knowing he's back on the streets 🤬🤬

Kim Blevins (Clear Spring , 2023-04-10)

People who commit such haness crimes need to be imprisoned.

Judy Frye (Mount Clare, 2023-04-10)

#224

I knew both Mark and CJ. This is unacceptable. This monster deserves to be punished. These men did nothing to deserve this however this monster deserves the death penalty.

Lisa Cosens (Smithsburg , 2023-04-10)

He doesn't deserve to walk free! 3 innocent lives were killed, justice should be served!

Justice needs to be served

Adam Earp (Smithsburg , 2023-04-10)

#232

I believe he knew what he was doing and is criminally responsible.

Sandra Cummins (Waynesboro, 2023-04-11)

#236

I'm signing because this happened in my community.

Angela Lowe (Smithsburg , 2023-04-11)

#237

I feel that man has Destroyed so many lives with his evil being, he should never see the light of day again, Much less walk the streets to do the same thing again!!

Carol Haggard (Mt Airy, 2023-04-11)

#238

I am close to the family of one of the victims. CJ’s family has lost so much as have the other victims families. We can’t continue to allow these things. We must take a stand now!

Lisa Carbaugh (Waynesboro , 2023-04-11)

#239

A killer should not walk free. He took away the breath of these men and critically harmed my brother. We need justice

Brenda Hoffman (Smithsburg , 2023-04-11)

Regardless of the insanity no criminal should be set free after taking the lives of innocent people!

Justice must be served.

Sherry Cline (Waynesboro , 2023-04-11)

#243

Cj was one of my closest friends growing up. He shared hunting memories with me of my dad. He was so much more, a father, a brother, a son. Even more than that.
He was there when I got stuck in a treestand. He was there for me through my dark times. He was always there, with a smile and when required a swift kick in the ass. He still is in the memory of all of us lucky enough to have known him. So, I’ll be wherever I need to be to bring justice to us all who have paid with the lives of fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, and friends.

Jeffrey Farmer (Myersville , 2023-04-11)

#245

He should be held
Responsible 3 men no longer here and family is suffering

Stephanie miller (Falling Waters, 2023-04-11)

#246

There was no justice or closure for these families a killer will be among us with a pre meditated plan to get away with it again

Shane Householder (Martinsburg , 2023-04-11)

#248

This person never needs to be walking among free law abiding citizens for the horrible murders he committed

Colleen Shindledecker (Waynesboro , 2023-04-11)

#256

One of the victims was my friends boyfriend.

Cassandra Lyn (Brunswick , 2023-04-11)

#258

This was premeditated murder. There's absolutely no reason why this person should be put in a hospital or left out of prison under any circumstances.

Robert Domer (Hagerstown , 2023-04-11)

#259

The actions of this person was pre-meditated. I believe he was cognizant of his actions 100%.

Makita Welte (Smithsburg, 2023-04-11)

#260

We need to stop the violence

Seirra Burral (Sumter, 2023-04-11)

#261

He obviously needs treatment, but he should do jail time for taking away 3 innocent lives! People need to be held accountable for their actions.

Kris Martin (Waynesboro, 2023-04-11)

#262

Anyone who takes a life let alone 3 an tries to kill more including a Maryland State Trooper should never see the light of day ever!! I’ve always believe you take a life you pay with your life. Why should he be allowed to walk among us in public when the people he killed can never do that again nor their family’s will never be able to see, hear their voice again.

Jen Hargett (Cavetown, 2023-04-11)

#263

To allow a plea deal for a person who clearly committed premeditated triple murder is a TRAVESTY of our justice system!!!

Kevin Steiner (Smithsburg, 2023-04-11)

#264

Angie Frey had been a long time friend, and I knew Mark for a long period also.
These families do not deserve any of this.
This guy deserves more. Help him and make him pay for what he done.
These families have been paying everyday.

Cheryl Stauffer (Waynesboro, 2023-04-11)

friend of Mark

Travis Cauffman (waynesboro, 2023-04-11)

#273

I am signing this because what is being done here IS NOT OKAY! That killer should never be allowed to be released, he should be in jail for the rest of his life. Not only did he shoot and kill my brother he shot and killed other men with families that loved them. It was a cold-blooded murder. The killer came to work one day and shot his coworkers. There are no words for this. This is absolutely DISGUSTING!! No matter if you are ill or not there is no excuse FOR KILLING PEOPLE. If you let this man free, how do you know he won't do it again? If he is "ILL" then why in the hell would you release him into the world. THIS IS NOT OKAY AND WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!! HE BELONGS TO STAY IN JAIL FOR LIFE!

Breahna Rowe (Smithsburg , 2023-04-11)

#274

Because people need to be held accountable for their actions.We need true justice in this country. Let’s do better, and as far as contacting our elected representatives (THEY are so out of touch with the real working people of America it’s not funny) I have reached out to the government officials on different issues with no results whatsoever!!!!!😡

Don Wolford (Foley , 2023-04-11)

#275

The planning and execution of this atrocity do not support the defense's argument that the alleged murderer has a mental deficiency. There is not a logical way to the conclusion he is not criminally responsible for his actions.

John Frantz (Hagerstown, 2023-04-11)

#277

I grew up in Smithsburg. Evil has touched that beautiful, quiet town, and justice needs to be served.

Jennifer Goulden (Waynesboro, 2023-04-11)

My cousin lost her husband CJ. The shooter also critically injured my Uncle.

Sara Miller (Hagerstown, 2023-04-11)

#286

I cannot fathom any justifiable reason for this person to ever feel freedom again. A small percentage of people in the world are lucky enough to live free in a country like this, he does not deserve to be one of them.

Jeremiah Keller (Myersville, 2023-04-11)

#287

This is absurd!!!
Goes t show you Evil is Good!!!
And Good is Evil!!!
This needs stopped now.

Dreema Sn3 (Hagerstown , 2023-04-11)

#290

This person knew enough at the time to take multiple guns and multiple clips to work, walk to his car and get the guns, kill 3 men, shoot a 4th, shoot an officer while attempting what seemed to be suicide by cop...but now 10 months later is not responsible for his actions. What is to stop him from doing this again when he is released? People want stricter gun control but what we need is stricter punishment for those to use guns to do harm. This man has earned life in prison. We want justice for the men at Columbia Machine and their families.

Vickie Adkins (Waynesboro , 2023-04-12)

#291

I need to.

Morris Henson (Hagerstown , 2023-04-12)

#292

He should not be allowed to go free. He needs to pay for his crimes. We need to send a message that this is not ok.

Sheena Showe (Greencastle , 2023-04-12)

#294

These family's deserve justice. This man ruined many lives. If he isn't going to be in prison he needs locked away in a mental institution for life no parole!!!

Stacy Taylor (Hagerstown, 2023-04-12)

#297

End gun violence.

Leann McFerren (HAGERSTOWN, 2023-04-12)

#298

If he killed once out of anger, who's to say he won't do it again.

Rob Boone (Waynesboro , 2023-04-12)

#304

These families deserve some sort of justice for the loss of their loved ones. Also, we need to keep our comm safe and not allow a killer to be free. He needs to be held responsible for his actions. We can not continue to tolerate the loss of innocent lives.

Ashley Burral (Hagerstown, 2023-04-12)

#305

There is no way this man should be able to walk free again. He took not one, not two but THREE lives that day and wounded others. How is this even an option???

Roxanne Rowland (Hagerstown , 2023-04-12)

#308

Josh was a friend of mine and would give his shirt off his back he was their working and would never hurt a fly and would make friends with anyone.

Josh Churchey (Sharpsburg, 2023-04-12)

#312

I cant imagine after killing 3 men and injuring more freedom would be an option for this man. Justice needs to be served! This man should not be allowed to go home to his family,God knows his victims didnt get to come home. Praying for peace and Justice for all the families impacted by this Criminal act. May he serve life in prison as he deserves.

Brittany Compton (Smithsburg, 2023-04-12)

Of my fiancés cousins death

Madison Root (Augusta, 2023-04-12)

#319

It's not right that someone who committed murder should be allowed to go free no matter what circumstances. He is guilty of murder and his lawyers should also be disbarred because it shows money talks and they will do anything to make a buck.

Anderson Chris (Waynesboro , 2023-04-12)

#320

I am signing because this person, planned and took action to shoot and kill 3 people. Also open fired on a Maryland State Trooper with no regards to anyone's lives that were in the area. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison

Midori Rudisill (Hagerstown, 2023-04-12)

#322

Justice needs to be served for the lives that were taken

Carrie Frye (Saltville , 2023-04-12)

#323

He was a heartless person who killed people. He did the crime now he needs to pay. He shouldn’t be allowed to live a normal life in society again. Do the right thing!!! Lock him up!

Kelly Reese (Waynesboro, 2023-04-12)

#324

My husband knew the men killed.

Tiffany Mcnemar (Martinsburg , 2023-04-12)

#325

No one who shoots MULTIPLE people at their place of employment deserves to walk among innocent women, men and especially children. Shame on this judge.

Jessica Weller (Waynesboro, 2023-04-13)

#326

I knew Mark, he was a cousin to my son-in-law. Justice must be done for Mark and the other three men/friends of Mark.

Jo-Carol Prokop (Martinsburg, 2023-04-13)

#327

My Son was one of the victims

Robin Specht (Smithsburg , 2023-04-13)

#331

The punishment does not fit the crime. He should never be allowed out into public again. This is absurd, plea deal for a multi murderer!

Jessica Middour (Waynesboro , 2023-04-13)

#332

My cousin lost her husband due to this man

William Lerch (Frederick , 2023-04-13)

#334

He did the crime, he knew what he was doing and needs to be punished

Josie Miller (Smithsburg, 2023-04-13)

#335

This murderer needs to spend his life in jail!

Nina Rouzer (Waynesboro , 2023-04-13)

#336

This is ridiculous!
He needs to serve prison time regardless!
Get him help at mental health facility, and then send him to prison for life!
He does not deserve to be free! What happens next time he "snaps"? Is he going to double or triple the amount of innocent victims?!

Patty Bercaw (Waynesboro , 2023-04-13)

#337

I’m signing because there shouldn’t even be a discussion about if this creature should be given a plea deal. He shot and killed innocent people, he should spend the rest of his life in prison. Even if he has mental issues that still doesn’t give him the right to end innocent peoples lives. So for that he SHOULD NOT have the option for a plea deal.

Kelsey Ivascu (Falling Waters , 2023-04-13)

#338

I feel that he should be punished by jail time for the murder of 3 innocent people.

Shannon Feather (Waynesboro, 2023-04-13)

#339

It's not right, he should be sentenced to pay for what he did

Darlene Bakner (Waynesboro, 2023-04-13)

#340

I'm signing because this man knew what he was doing when he killed those men/ fired that gun. He doesn't deserve to be a free man. Mental health or not having a gun and shooting innocent hard working people just because you want too isn't something that just happens. You plan that and he followed through with it. Being free on good behavior for something like this shouldn't be a option, if so more people behind bars would have that option and they don't and some are behind bars for things they didn't do but this man did do it and shouldn't be free or see the light of day.

Heather Beaver (Waynesboro, 2023-04-13)

#344

This man does not deserve a plea bargin!

Jennifer Johnson (Waynesboro , 2023-04-13)

#346

This was my cousin

Spencer Frey (Hagerstown , 2023-04-13)

#347

He’s a killer. He murdered those guys. He does not deserve a plea. He deserves life in jail. He truly deserves the death penalty but that’s apparently frowned upon here now.

Kayla Forney (White_United_States_of_America, 2023-04-13)

#349

This was an act of pure evil. This act was premeditated. This man held a job. He held a valid drivers license. He worked. He obeyed traffic laws. How is it NOW that he has killed that he is deemed insane? He knew to run away from his crimes to try and not get caught! He shot and attempted to kill police to NOT get caught! He knew exactly what he was doing! This is the most unjust ruling our justice system could ever give! I, as a life long citizen of Washington County, am simply appalled at this ruling!

Teresa Martin (Smithsburg , 2023-04-13)

#355

He needs to be in prison the rest of his life he knew his actions now its time to pay

Timothy Golliday (Smithsburg , 2023-04-13)

#356

A premeditated murderer should never be free to roam on the streets of public again. He stole the lives of three people. He deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Sara Frazier (Smithsburg, 2023-04-13)

#359

This should never be free he killed 3 people with families if I had my way he would be put too death

John Palmer jr (Hagerstown, 2023-04-14)

#361

This is a gut-wrenching tragedy! Why in the world would you let this MONSTER out, where he will do the exact same thing again.

Burke Emilie (Bell Buckle, 2023-04-14)

#366

THIS is WHY people do these HORRIBLE THINGS!! They get slapped on their hands- and out in no time ! 💔😭. They want to plead mental and then it’s even a faster street to freedom! This needs to STOP! He needs to spend his life behind bars till this death - AND THIS IS EVEN TOO GOOD for this POS ! 😡
Prayers 🙏🏼 to these families as THEY HAVE NO CHOICE!!!!

patti Talbert (Clear Spring, 2023-04-14)

#369

Mental health should be addressed, but this person obviously knew what he did was wrong as he fled the scene and shot at police. Lock him up for his crimes.

Kim Harbaugh (Cascade, 2023-04-14)

#372

Smithsburg is my neighboring community. This criminal should never be able to walk freely again. He took the lives of not only the victims but there family and friends who loved them dearly. He also stole the innocence of a small community where humble everyday people work hard everyday to make a living to support their loved ones.

John Wetzel (Waynesboro, 2023-04-14)

#373

I am signing this petition because the person who shot and killed 3 innocent men and wounded two others should be punished for what he did. A plea deal should not be accepted for this hideous crime. He knew what he was doing and is deserving of the consequences. Our judicial system is to protect our citizens, and letting this creep walk is ridiculous. What message does that send to other felons, they can do whatever they want and they can cry mental illness and walk. What would the verdict be if it was a member of the courts family that was murdered in cold blood. My guess is he would be locked up forever. This is so wrong and if this happens it just proves our judicial system is for the crooks and not the victims!

Kimberly Tribett (Smithsburg, 2023-04-14)

i’m very close to CJ’s mother. she is like my second mother and she shouldn’t have to bury her child.

kiersten seal (waynesboro, 2023-04-15)

I don’t believe this man should ever get out of prison. If MD had the death penalty I would say he deserves death.

Kathy Rhodes (Hagerstown, 2023-04-15)

#383

I believe killing these people must have consequences

Manley Broadwater (Williamsport , 2023-04-15)

#384

Victims deserve justice.

Melissa Rice (Smithsburg, 2023-04-15)

#385

The shooter strategically planned these murders and now he wants to plead incompetence, that sends the message that it’s ok to murder innocent people, these families will grieve forever please do not let this man walk free, it is just asking for more tragedy, Life with no parole.

Julia Barnhart (Hagerstown , 2023-04-15)

#386

This man deserves to be locked away for the rest of his life.

Angela Shelly (Hagerstown , 2023-04-15)

Murderers need to face the consequences.

Christina Raab (Waynesboro, 2023-04-15)

I know the spouse of one of the victims.

Bobbi Calvert (Waynesboro, 2023-04-15)

Life in prison

Brandy Scurto (21783, 2023-04-16)

I feel that theese families need some kind of justice. Plus don’t blame the GUNS!

Janet Hull (Hagerstown , 2023-04-16)

#396

We were traveling to see our grandsons baseball game and came upon the area of where this man was caught. Had we been minutes earlier we may have been involved in and accident or the gun fire. Also the initial shooting took place less than a mile from my grandsons baseball field.
Taking the lives of co-workers is not acceptable and should be punished to the fullest extent. This took planning on the killers part to accomplish this. Life in prison is not even enough in my book. Thank you for taking the time to read my brief statement.

Robert Daley (Edgewater , 2023-04-16)

#397

This is bull! This man killed innocent people. He needs to be held responsible.

Peggy Ridenour (Smithsburg, 2023-04-16)

#399

This "man" is mentally ill and should never be released. He need life long treatment in a locked facility or jail. He will do this again!!
