Roark, as mentioned by court records, is from the Dundalk area...Some addresses are for Bel Air, but that's when he was in a Baltimore County Detention center...Check out some of the other cases and you'll see that info. Zip Code 21222.

Peter, you may know this or may be able to get the information, but does Maryland even have a gang taskforce like other states? I know Baltimore is a city made up of neighborhoods, but it seems more and more that widespread gangs are infiltrating the city and now the state. What is law enforcement doing to combat this?

I had watched the episode that covered DMI ... There was an interview with a Nick H (I didn't catch his full last name, But his name is not in your piece). He had chosen to leave the gang on (or by) 4-13-9 (standing for DMI) ... I don't know if you where at all in contact with any of the people who where involved in these interviews & if you had contact with him how he was doing? ... I feel that he should be given a lot of credit for deciding to change his path & I was curious of how he was doing with his new journey ...
Thank You,
Erin Michelle

The DMI project is trying to tell white boys to take better care of each-other because the government and the media will and is selling you out everyday..Every white person is called a racist because they are white,and these guys are tired of it.. Blacks do what ever they want in every situation,latin people the same..White males are gonna have to start being more like the minoriys in the USA..Stick to your own and hate everyone else..Latin and black people get the right to hate and stick to their own people,jews only hire jews..But when A WHITE GUYS SAYS THE SKY IS DARK HE'S A RACIST AND THE WORLD IS GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF IT.. The last thing the USA wants is awake a sleeping giant,but I for one along wiyth DMI will do my best to wake them!!!! The hand outs are over!!!

After seeing what was aired tonight on the History channel, I am truly saddened to see and hear so many proud of the new-found, nationwide attention that has been brought to ourselves. We have forgotten our three SACRED S's and the moral value in which to act as gentleman instead of gangsters. I personally have sacrificed much for * with no questions or complaints, but the advertisement of senseless violence and false portrayal of common thieves and drug addicts running rampent through our prison systems hurts me deeply. One thing is for certain about that video... Only The True Will Remain. Weeds will be pulled; and those with potential, tree founding roots will taught how to grow. We took an oath for Change, we should settle for nothing less than that. Forward Prgression, overcoming struggle for a chance to elevate mentally, grow morally & prosper financially to achieve our greater goal of one mind, one body & one spirit spreading one love. This is OUR higher calling, not stealing purses from old ladys and slinging knives to support our drug habbits. Desire, Discipline, Dedication & Determination. Love, Loyalty, Respect & Honor... these are values to be proud of; principles that can make this work.

To those that still believe in these simple, beautiful principles, you have my undying loyalty and faith in you. I love and respect you ALL and I want us ALL to continue living with Honor or we will become, yet another, process of History.

I am very familiar with D.M.I. I myself am from Baltimore and know many members personally. Reguardless of the origins stated in the TDC special, the real origin of D.M.I. was whites standing up for whites. I myself was incarcerated in Balto. and, surely would have joined if I were committed for a longer sentence. I was only down for four months though. The point being, when your white, sent to jail and, alone. Your days are numbered. It's a fact!!! So, in the interest of self preservation you must get affiliated. White people are out numbered by 97 to 3 at best. People can say what ever they will. If they found themselves in that situation, they would join too. I witnessed personally those who did not, or could not, such as gays, or sex offenders. It always ends the same. Face down and bleeding in a running shower. So before you judge these guys think, what would you do if you were wrongly convicted, or rightly for that matter? In the end the guys were scared because of the overwhelming predjudice in prison against whites. No matter what, a white guy is seen as racist even if he came from a more oppressed background than those who would accuse him. Slavery is over and white people who are alive today never had any part in it. the vast majority of white people today just want it to go away and , be left alone. I beleive that any racism that still exists today is not based on race but, is based on attitude. I myself am predjudice against anyone who is not considerate of others. Let there be no mistake. D.M.I. was founded because whites in prison were tired of being preyed upon. Now that their together, their strength is enormous. I just wish they would use their strength only in defense instead of using it for profit. Most white people want peace but, in leiu of that, defense is the only other option. Get it together D.M.I. What your doing could be great if it were only directed in the right way. White people should be allowed to be proud and militant also. Just as the other races are so proudly.

Hey I watched the episode on DMI and I am extremely interested in Ricky Tolson. you say he has been released? how would I be able to at least write him? I have searched everywhere and cant find anything on him except this article. please help!!!

DMI suffers from liberal white guilt.

i'm also interested on more info about ricky tolson, since he's been released, if any please email me. thanks!

I would like more information on Ricky Tolson. Can you please forward it to me thanx.

I didn't get to watch this episode but heard about it from a friend. I used to work in Maryland's prison system as a correctional officer. I know all too well the damage DMI can do. I worked at the prison for 5 years. DMI did hits for lots of gangs. I've seen their work over and over again. It's amazing how they get things smuggled in. Lots of dirty CO's working in Maryland prisons. I for one am glad I left. It was too much stress & negativity for me and my family. Maryland prison systems are heading for a full blown riot in the future. I don't even think the National Guard will be able to save those involved.

Chill get out of the gang life.Iknow alot of DMI members most have dope habbits and they most definently don't look out for each other.mabe in prison but not on the streets.(WAKE UP)You can start a new and better life with people who really care .I will pray for all of you! GOD bless!

NOONE CAN JUDGE THESE DMI MEMBERS UNLESS YOU ARE ONE...WHEN YOUR SENTENCE IS LONG TERM...NOW DAYS YOU HAVE TO BE IN SOMETHING OR YOU WILL GET HURT...AND THE WAY HAGESTOWN IS TREATING THE DMI MEMBERS ARE WRONG ...JUST NO NEVER JUDGE UNLESS YOU WERE IN THERE SHOES...THE SYSTEM IS MESSED UP THE WAY THEY TREAT THERE INMATES ARE WRONG!!!!

i spent some time in jail.over the years and the last bit wasnt easy .i had problems with outher inmates .their were bloods ,crips, dmi,13ers ,all in the same pod and if wasnt for a close friend in the dmi probley wouldnt be hear to right this or hold my daughter ,every nite before bed time .lifes different in the joint ,you dont kno unless you have lived it . i have and want to thank the dmi for helping me out when i needed it the most.big p from the dena thank you jbyrd

I am looking for ricky tolson.. if any ones know how to get in touch with him please email me pamelasue54@hotmail.com thanks

I really love how all of the ex-cons and gangbangers are singing the praises of these losers. Don't know how you get White Power out of a group started by a guy who wanted to join a Black gang. All gang members (Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, etc) are punks!

I'm a black man just coming home from the joint, and the author of this article just about got everything right. The D.M.I was started because P is real cool with us and we had his back just like he had ours. But as for the new members, alot of those guys are just looking for protection instead of joining for the right reasons. Now I,m not saying that you need protection, but if you mind your business and be a man you won't have problems. Unless your a rat, a homo,or you've done something to a members family.

I know LIL Kris Horner.. we went to school together he was a quiet kid.. we was homeys CYA when u get out dawg DMI^

this is how i feel its true about how white gys becoming the minority not just in prison in real life like the woman said in a comment before anytime someone white says anything its racist to me its bull and whenever i go anywhere the brothas allways try to act tough and eyeball you stare you down to try to intimidate you same with the hispanics me i am 28 i know i am getting older but it makes me so mad im not what you would call rascist my wife is indian but when i watched this episode on history channel i have to admit i was kinda like happy to see the unity you see so many white boys wanting to be something they're not and the guy named Nick H it stands for hornberger the bottom line is im sick and tired of having to watch what i say or having the other 2 groups of people previously mentioned thinking they can just push us white guys around intimidate etc... if you want to find me my name is bignoggs on myspace

It is so obvious someone is fishing for tolson's info. why would you give it out? that's just stupid

I feel sad for anyone who has to join a gang to feel safe. No one no matter where they are in life should have to feel that way. That being said I just want to say to all people who beat up or kill people of other Races because you don't like them, please stop. Having pride in your nationality is not a reason to hate another I just wish people would understand that. Why should someone have to die for you to have Pride in yourself. I had a cousin lynched by the Klan in 78' he was no more than 16yrs old. They cut off his genitals beat him up real bad and threw him into a boxide mine. No one went to jail for it, about almost 10yrs later a drunk White man crashed into another cousin her her husband and her sister with her daughter. The husband died and the man never went to jail. May 30th, 2009 Christopher D.Jones was killed by some Black kids why?...Death is all that you get when you use might to show your PRIDE...You can have PRIDE in yourself and your nationality and not have to HATE anyone....

The Baltimore Sun reprorted:
"Police said race does not appear to have been a factor, though Christopher was white and the youths charged are black.'

As being related to kris horner and hearing all u clowns talk ur hearts out, just stop stating ur opinions no one gives a flying hoot honestly.

I was just recently released from JCI in Maryland, For you all that think you know about "gangs" and are passing judgements, DMI is the only thing stopping white inmates from being raped and taken advantage of in Prison. There are some flaws but overall it is simply for preservation of whites in prison. I myself never needed to join because I am a pretty strong guy and am street smart. But it really does protect all the white guys who have problems. So for all of you that haven't been in prison please think twice before passing judgements we are outnumbered unamiously in the maryland correctional system. Dmi has began to be more heroin addicts and started to fall apart but you have to understand that we are in Baltimore, the Dope Capital Of America. So please try to understand that most of these guys had no other choice then to join or get taken advantage of.

People are sooooo funnyyy

I was down the pen before there was dmi or any white gang, we always had a click of thorough white boys, but not no big gang, as far as being preyed upon unless the system changed, as long as you act like a man is supposed, you will be all right. The problem was most white boys werent' down for each other, right or wrong in the system, but I knew plenty of bgf, black muslims, who were good dudes, but every has to stick together in the joint, that is how I kick my bits at least.

For all those who don't know what the Dead Organization stands for, I am a Dawg. We are not racist but we do believe in our family. Most of us have had hard lives, and there are a lot of successful Dawgs out there. Just like every family we have problems too, SO BUT OUT!!!!! But those who walk amongst the Dead, my love loyality and respect will always be unconditional. You Already Know!
