    Some would say its justice for Burn-Brain but who knows. Case closed? Just asking because allegations are usually many.

    Silver Lake againnnnn! Yes I said it! :twisted: :twisted:

    When you live in and tolerate a community where crimes are committed 24hrs / 7 days a week and “no body sees, no body knows” its only a matter of time. Sadly, those of us who no better are not surprised and know full well it will not be the last :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: . Time to round up ALL the bad eggs there and throw the book at them because we know who they are. Commissioner Choksi and National Security Boss(Poo-Poo-U) need to send in the SSU asap. with guns blazing. Enough is enough.

      Before rounding up the all the ‘bad boys’ why not first find what is fueling this violence. Violence just does not happen in a vacuum. There are reasons for this spiralling crime. Your suggested solution of getting the SSU to commit mass murder of the so-called ‘bad boys’ is egregiously grotesque.

    Loving and comforting thoughts to the immediate family members, close friends and acquaintance of the deceased.

    No effort should be spared in getting these illicit firearms out of the hands to these hoodlum. Preventative strategies should be in place to mitigate against the preponderance of guns coming across the porous borders.

    Peace and love where have you gone? Come back! Oh what an awesome day it will be
    when tranquility reigns again in this our beloved natural paradise.
