If they are members of gangs then ship them off to where we house the terrorist, because that is exactly what they are.

Sounds like time to change the penalty for juvenile crimes. Anything involving a weapon for anyone over 12 should require prison/incarceration terms beyond age 18. Don't think a 14 year old won't shoot you? How much are you willing to bet one it?

JohnDresher: You make a sound point while challenging sacred cows some use to institutionalize failure of personal responsibility. I hope someone takes note and you are able to advise on public safety from your observance of our community and perspective as a writer chronicling this trend. I appreciate your input. Deb, Attorney

Mr. Drescher, I wasn't "calling" you a conservative, but simply asking you if you were one, based on your opinion.

I agree with you about the cultural tendency toward this type of shocking, cold-blooded violence.

In spite of your hyperbolic attack on me personally, I'll assume that you don't usually put labels on people and categorize them into various identity groups such as "Progressive Liberal", which I certainly ain't.

I was making an attempt to illustrate that, even though we don't necessarily agree politically, we can find some common ground on common sense issues such as this one, and agree that it is indeed a serious problem which all of us should work together to solve. Deal?

beachmama, you confuse spanking with hitting.

Wow, Lady Justice, I guess, to you, simply attacking me personally is adding "something." No problem.

"rich son, mass murder is such a very minute part of the overall murder rate that I'm not sure you can draw that conclusion." JohnDrescher

That is not even close to an answer to the question asked. Looks like you really have nothing of substance to bring to the table. You talk, talk, talk about groups of people, but have nothing to offer when asked to provide some real insight into the why's and what can be done to repair the problem. Just all talk with nothing productive to add.

Sarcasticles, riddle me this. People who try to put labels on people and categorize them into various identity groups rather than deal with people as individuals are typically Progressive Liberals.

Mr. Drescher, would you identify yourself as a conservative?

What is more frightening to me is when the GRAND JURY can indict people without any EVIDENCE.....it is one thing to have *something*....but not when there is *NOTHING*....
