Ok, so to save taxpayer money lets not call the police to respond to neighborhood shootouts and wait until they are all done shooting each other. Let's also leave their dead bodies on the sidewalk to naturally rot and bullet riddled cars in the street to block traffic so we don't spend any taxpayer money disposing of dead gang members or criminals.

Lets close the prisons and jails and let the criminals roam the streets so us burdened taxpayers aren't paying to house, feed, and treat gangmembers. If you are in favor of cutting the least significant cost of the gang problem (medical treatment) than take a bigger step and cut the biggest costs us taxpayers pay to deal with crime: law enforcement officers salaries and penitentiaries for decades long sentances. We're trying to save money right?

Trying to enforce your personal morality in an amoral medical federal institution is not going to put anyone any closer to solving the real problems that arise from crime and gangs. It's a knee jerk reaction based on personal prejudice and emotion.
Personal prejudice? Yep. I really don't like morons, who have absolutely no regard for the law or for human life, destroying one neighborhood after another - and all the while, the taxpayers are stuck paying for this crap.

Maybe if you were a taxpayer you'd look at it differently.

I agree. Besides - and this is coming from a friend of mine who is a cop - these gang-bangers have kids with cell phones on every corner. When a cruiser arrives, the little kids call the gang-bangers & warn them. In other words, a police presence does no good anyway.

Let's also leave their dead bodies on the sidewalk to naturally rot and bullet riddled cars in the street to block traffic so we don't spend any taxpayer money disposing of dead gang members or criminals.
I agree. If they want to live in a crap-hole, let them live in a crap-hole!

Lets close the prisons and jails and let the criminals roam the streets so us burdened taxpayers aren't paying to house, feed, and treat gangmembers.
Let me stock up on guns and ammunition first. Then let me call a bunch of buddies, who are avid hunters, and let us all pick where we want to perch.

We've already eliminated the need for police to be in gang neighborhoods, and turned the shooting over to law-abiding citizens. This, to me, represents a HUGE drop in the cost of law enforcement.
Thank you for your good ideas!

Wait. . Before we do this. . can we all get some kind of matching t-shirts or something? In the heat of the moment it's hard to hear someone yelling, "SAME TEAM, SAME TEAM".

Maybe one of these days you'll present an adult argument based on reality and not the ramblings of a trigger happy anarchist with arrested development.

And one of these days you'll come up with an argument that is not competely pointless and out of touch with reality!

By the way, what DID you pay in Property Taxes last year?

Out of touch with reality is advocating rotting bodies in the street and closing the prisons so you can get together with friends to hunt people in the streets. How is that any different than the situation you're upset with now? People thinking they're above the law and can roll around dolling out their own sets of justice? The same behavior you're lambasting is the same behaviour you're saying is ok for you and your hunting buddies to enage in. Roaming the streets shooting to kill. Gangmembers aren't commonly found in rural creeks like a deer or pheasant so I'm to assume you're ok with driving down N. 30th St. opening fire on people. I'm not interested in getting into far left or far right hyperbole, but any rational person would see that the solutions you previously advocated are out of touch with reality.

Camo shorts & beaters. That way we can fit the image. Nothing else needed.

Well... Maybe some night vision goggles would be nice.

We're not going to be driving down North 30th Street. IF you were in touch with reality, you would know that that is NOT where the problems are.

And I'm not going to tell you where I'm going to set up camp, other than that it'll be high up in a tree or on a rooftop somewhere. Neither you, nor any of the gang-bangers will ever see me. And since I'll have a silencer on my sniper rifle they'll never hear me.


By the way, how much DID you pay in Property Tax last year? I paid nearly $5,000 for this crap. What did you pay?

So now your firearm-mania has you up in trees with silenced sniper rifles taking people out? It is not I, who is out of touch with reality.
