We have too many guns on the street and too many gangbangers using them.

from the linked article "Dennis Bosak, a landlord who said he rents eight homes in Old Redford, said he'd been warning police of suspicious activity at the house since last summer.

Bosak describes Riverview as "a quiet street, except for one house" — the scene of the shooting."

The home, he said, has no kitchen sink, refrigerator, stove or even tables in the downstairs area. No place for a child.

So the landlord complains about how that house has bad things going on in it but doesn't see his complicity? What the fuck did he think would be going on in a house without any of the necessities of living a decent life. He should be jailed also.

that Dennis Bosak was the owner of the home in question before you issued the arrest warrant?

I suggested that he should be held to account if it is his property. Perhaps too hastily. Point made. I accept the penalty.

Kids are either being shot or poisoned by water and our lawmakers are on vacation . . . again.
