Very good point highthief.
The silence from the black communtiy on many of the black on black killings over the past couple of years has been deafening. There are witnesses that are simply not coming forward.
Yes there are root causes. Paying attention to them *is* important. You can't just increase the policing without adressing the issues that bring about crime in the first place. Miller may be a bit too far in the root cause direction with his platitudes but he has greatly increase police spending over the past year.
As for Martin's handgun ban... what a joke. It is useless legislation without harsher punishments for those who would use guns during crime. Yes, guns are flooding across the border and they will continue to do so regardless of a ban or a registry.
For those who don't know, the Bloods and the Crips are very active here. They are taking over all the local gangs and splitting up the territories. They are agressive and well financed.
The fucking idiots who did this should be subjected to the harshest of punishments. The kind of behaviour is not acceptable... period.
