On criminal can easily commit a large number of crimes. Removing them from society does a great deal to lower the crime rate. Often, it is an armed citizen who is on the scene and able to stop the crimes. This recent example occurred in Perland, Texas. A man in a close neighborhood stopped a minor crime wave by grabbing a gun and holding a burglary suspect for the police. From thefacts.com:
PEARLAND A man suspected of burglarizing several cars on one street was caught when a neighbor pulled a gun after finding the man rifling through his car.
Roman Cantu, 29, was arrested and charged with four counts of burglary of a vehicle after several cars were broken into in the 3000 block of CR 222 in Pearland just before 2 a.m. Thursday, Sheriffs Investigator Clint Lobpries said.
One of the families who lives on the block heard a noise from outside their home, and the owner grabbed a gun and went outside to investigate, Lobpries said.
The man who confronted and caught Cantu, Mike Daniels, fired several shots in the process, but no one was hit. Cantu slipped while dodging the gunfire. Then Daniels ran up to him and held him for police. At least while Cantu is in jail, he will not be committing more crimes.

At least while Cantu is in jail, he will not be committing more crimes. Only if he stays there. I'm sure his attorney is looking for a Liberal judge right now.

Possibly “Be Loyal And Stay True”? That’s a popular phrase amongst the ‘gangsta’ crowd..

Actually looking at before and after what I’ve been concentrating on, you might be right! Thanks.

Any facial tattoo is a statement. It says “I will NEVER have a job that sends you a W-2.”

Another instance of gun violence that they will report in their statistics to justify more gun control.
