JTV your 100% correct the Leo is doing their jobs and risking life and limb. While the DA , Lawyers, Judges, Parole Officers, rep the rewards from criminals, if they didn’t keep letting them out they wouldn’t be needed so much. Grant you they all claim they have to follow the laws on the books. But we all know how things slip through the cracks. We need good old vigilante justice now a days to eliminate the devils in society. Let the Courts handle the whimsy stuff.
@Jim
I completely agree! Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. So let’s pass common-sense legislation that will make it more difficult for those violent, dangerous, irresponsible people to get access to guns.
How many arrests do we read about have possession of a firearm with a felony conviction?
•If the perp has a history of VIOLENT firearm charges, then this question would hold weight, a simply possessing doesn’t raise enough of a moral issue to be concerned. The deeper issue is what are we doing, as a community, influenced by a society that deems it OK to overlook fatherless homes..
Belinda Woods, talk about extending kindness and understanding – when they do get caught or killed all these criminals were just about to make a complete turn around – Society and law enforcement didn’t pay attention to their new church going habits! yeah!! Make an example and get rid of some of these useless characters (in a swift manner) and watch crime numbers drop
Gun Violent is a business, individual, consumer problems. Keep check in balance, program in community that focus on health, fun and respect. Individual needs to b taken care and encourage not to use gun. The jail are not the solution, it take a village to raise a community not a corporation that destroys individual, family and society future. Let do more with encouraging and help young, general population, elderly. We are heading this way, everybody needs help. Let stop the gun Violent but without harshness methods that are not working..
ECSO does a fantastic job of taking the trash out, it’s the weakling prosecutors and judges that keep throwing the trash back out on the streets. How many arrests do we read about have possession of a firearm with a felony conviction?
Mr. Chip needs to move this to a date that the church members and leaders could attend.
The guns aren’t violent. Criminals are.
