Having lived (survived in the Phx area for 20 years, I recognize this activity for what it is. Normal, routine stupid behavior by Hispanics with guns and tempers. This has been going on there forever. 

It is no different than the Hispanics in Los Angeles, and the blacks in: Oakland, St. Louis, Chicago, Gary, IN; Newark, Patterson NJ, NY, Boston, Philly.  Got a problem? Someone take the last piece of bar-b-que? Stab 'em with a fork. Someone spilled beer on your shoe? Shoot 'em. Kids riding bikes in Philly? Easy targets, fire 17 shots at their defenseless behinds. Think a rival lives in that house in St. Louis? Fire into the bedroom window, kill a 14 year old.

This is normal and routine behavior for low lifes across the nation. Get rid of all the guns, and they would use an axe, a baseball bat, a hammer, a nail gun, their momma's cane, whatever. It is NOT the weapon used, it is the stupidity and the violence within, that must somehow be addressed.

I more and more really really like the three strikes and OUT concept. Anyone of any age that commits a crime using a weapon goes away for one year mandatory. In possession of an unlicensed and uregistered firearm? Go away for one year. Lose your job. Your apt. Your car, your bicycle, your dog. Anyone 16 and up who has three misdemeanors can go to jail for ten years. Anyone with a combination of misdemeanors and felonies totalling three, can go away for life. I am all in favor of building hundreds more prisons in small busted communities all over America. They will stimulate local economies, cure the unemployment rate, and give the rest of us worry-free movement about our own communities, knowing the knuckleheads won't ever walk free among us again.

I am past tired of soft judges, dealing prosecutors being nice to first time offenders, plea deals, and all the rest of the revolving door crap. Past time, to start locking up a large number of the offending populace, for life. Be done with their tired, repetitive act.
