yea.. listening to the ppl talk about it on the radio on the drive in.

sadly there is no one single solution to the "problem", and you'll need everyone in the community to step up to combat this, and have the government help on several fronts.

First, gotta make the sentences tougher, the justice system needs to be revamped and updated. The system is overwhelmed with the number of people waiting, so they end up being let go if the wait is too long. I say, they are held until they are done with the trial, maybe give them some credit for time spent waiting depending on the severity of the crime, and whatever criminal history is there. If they are repeat offenders, don't give them any credit. These people need to be off the streets and stay off the streets.

Second, maybe help the local churches out by funding them and letting them become some level of daycare which then can allow the parents to work their jobs? (instead of just giving them welfare). This way you can get to the kids and hopefully steer them away from the gang lifestyle. But this will only work if you have successful members of the community come in and volunteer their time to help these kids see that there's more out there.

So you want to pay more taxes to build more prisons to pay to incarcerate these people? You realize that its cheaper to fund social programs than it is to pay the approximately 120k/yr to house a federal prisoner.

Unless of course you are advocating the building of prisons run for profit (see the US model). There the coporations influence the politicians to pass 3 strikes laws so that their profits keep getting bigger.

There should be a large manditory police presents during these events. You want a block party, then you have to have x number of police there. Ya people will be crying discrimination and it may even prevent events happening but it may also prevent things like this.

expedite the process so it doesn't cost as much between courts/trials/appeals, and move on.

Send them to the gulag in Siberia in mother Russia

Do you need to purchase a permit for block parties? Maybe do a subsidized fee for police where the community and gov pays together.

At the very least have more patrols around the area. It would be in everyone's best interest to have them "seen" as a preventative effort. I'm sure the aftermath is clocking more man hours than if they were there for "free" in the first place.

send the fuckers to the middle east to help the peace keeping / war effort, we'll see how tough they are then when being shot back at or dealing with IED's.

we have found out who the troll JACN actually is. gnsp you dun goofed

Phil watched the desperate mother pump her teenaged daughter’s chest as blood soaked her shirt. The teen sucked air in bursts, unable to take full breaths.

“Keep awake,” her sobbing mother said. “Keep awake.”

Phil looked at his watch, as he waited for help to arrive. Ten minutes passed. Then 20. Then 30.

“She was sucking air,” said Phil, who did not want to give his last name. “Then she took her last two breaths, real quick, then stopped.”

She died.

Hey guys, we don't have 100% confirmation still, but the 23 yr old male victim is my wife's cousin. He was a good kid. Graduated from York and started up his own business. My wife's family is all at her aunts house and everyone is devastated. Just waiting to hear back from the homicide squad/coroner. RIP Josh.

^^
All joking aside, my condolences to you and wife.

Did he live there?

RIP

Pretty sure that entire area is full of cop haters, cops got no cooperation, they get sworn at, people don't want to talk. I'd hate to be a cop and work with the bottom feeders of society. I'd gladly turn my back on them and just let them all off each other, that's probably why cops don't want to be there.

If you are gonna yell profanities at them, disrespect them, etc how much help do you think those "residents" would get. That area has such a beautiful pocket (guildwood), but it's surrounded by this SCUM.
