Maybe we should just let all the gangsters shoot each other, then arrest whoever is left standing. It is frustrating when we get a new gang law FINALLY passed, then some racist (La Raza) Hispanic woman legislator, (Rep Prentice, from Renton) guts it with last minute amendments by removing key enforcement parts of the bill such as most of the funding and the part that says kids can be questioned about the clothing they are wearing, even though it may be clearly gang-related. Certain items worn certain ways predict the behavior to come next from these gangs - it is a sign of intent. Yet, Ms Prentice and the ACLU consider stops on such criteria as "Profiling". Well, DUH! How does the Anti-american Criminal Lovers United, (ACLU) expect any other way of interdicting gang behavior, or ANY behavior for that matter, without some form of "profiling". We've gone from ridiculous to sublime here. Time to do away with PC and "git 'er done" by allowing the police to do their jobs and tell the ACLU to go fight REAL battles that have some substantive meaning instead of ruining our country with frivolous lawsuits we can't afford to fight.
