Because Malone has spoken I must add...
"That's ridiculous. "The community" saw one young man shoot another. We apparently have one witness that says there were gang signs involved. We have a report but no proof that the victim was a good guy."
What's actually ridiculous is that regardless of whether the victim was a "good guy" or not doesn't negate the fact that the murderer was not a good guy and should have been stoned, trampled or whatever necessary for the general populous to say they do not allow this kind of thing and these will be the consequences of this kind of action. Granted I will only be speculating here but regardless of the report and who witnessed the shooting I would venture a guess that the witness knew what gangs were in the area, that the murderer wasn't a law abiding citizen and that the dead victim was infact dead after being shot by said murderer.
""Just shoot them" might sound like a simple solution, but it's just a simple-minded solution."
Although I agree that the Constitution does guarantee our right to a fair trial and people deserve due process of the law the problem is that so many new laws circumventing the Constitution are in place now that it is virtually impossible to get Constitutional justice. People such as the murderer in the article could care less about the law and have created an environment where repercussions are unlikely, but it doesn't change the fact he murder another individual and got away with it. But I guess you're right we should do it the way you suggest and that will solve the problems...Oops! We ARE doing it that way and it's failing.
Take care,
