#4 With more recent statements saying only one suspect, the gang theory seems more likely. "Lone nutjob", as always, is still in the contest.

#5 My son is a Lakewood ass't prosecutor; will provide details when and as able. So far his batting average is ~ .750; hope his boss lets him loose on it.

#6 IMHO, this is terrorism, whether it was performed by a gang, moslems, or "anarchist" marxists. I think it would probably be good for us to treat it that way.

#7 Welcome to Mexico, I guess.

Close. Welcome to California is more like it. These folks are tired of the tight market there and are expanding into areas with less competition and more naivete.

This needs to be dealt with immediately if not sooner.

The best way to make sure this problem is taken care of is to minimally fund anti-gang activities so that we have to pay for this forever in blood and treasure. Or until the police commissioner's daughter gets killed in a drive-by, then the police go ape on a gang or two then mellow out again. We need to educate the populace that it is good to have these gangs around so we can watch the occasional red-on-red activity sprinkled throughout all the community destruction they sow. We need to discourage citizens from shooting the fuc#ers on-sight with overzealous prosecution and heavy sentencing. We need to ignore the tips that are phoned in and tell the tipsters to just not worry about it. Don't deport the gangsters, whatever you do. It would be against their Constitutional rights as non-citizens. Also, make sure you get the police to come to each and every incident slowly with their sirens and lights flashing so the gangsters get plenty of Constitionally required notice that the authorities are coming and have time to disappear into the woodwork after popping off a couple more randomly aimed rounds. Make sure that jails have a revolving door on them for things like tagging, packing, and wearing colors. Make sure the revolving door is greased well so they can go through as many times as they want. Make sure that we obey every stupid, politically misguided directive from the feds that really isn't in our interests.
