Probably Eastside against the Westside. Let’s see how this plays out. The way I see it is if it’s gang related, leave them be. Give them a little time and they’ll just take each other out if they ever learn to shoot straight. It’s embarrassing how often they miss their targets kill shot. Maybe they’ll get better and save us some tax dollars. Crime prevention 101.
We should set up a go fund me for some shooting lessons and range time so the can get it right
Two shootings in one day. Why aren’t people attacking each other with sticks and rocks, since it’s the people and not the guns? There are so many more sticks and rocks than guns. Maybe it’s just the thrill factor of stealing a gun from an unlocked vehicle as opposed to the mundanity of making do with sticks and rocks.
