Imagine the headline “Man, 63, Set On Fire Inside His Eco friendly Hybrid Outside 7-Eleven In Long Beach”

[Signalman]

In my opinion the suspect, if convicted, deserves the same sentence he administered to the victim.

7-Eleven’s and convenience stores near intersections MUST BE BANNED!

You have to sit through an extended video of mealy mouthed vagary re: the criminal's race...you never actually get to hear them say the criminal is black...you only get to see him being perp-walked to a cruiser and sitting in it. No one ever says what race the victim was, but I can guess. This is why I ALWAYS pull out my 45 when having to stop at a convenience store.

These violent crimes must stop! All guns need to be banned!

This is a parable. I hope we learn from it.

Holey immoley, that is a decent part of town!

Scary because my kid has a friend who lives near there and he could have been stopped at that 711.

If the interior burst into flames, he must have been smoking. The perp either (A) hates smokers or (B) smokes, does not have a cigarette of his own and is jealous to the point of murder.

But I could be wrong!

The mentally ill are not “free spirits”,”harmless loners”,nor just people living an “alternative lifestyle”.

There is a huge difference between someone with a mild cleanliness OCD, and a violent paranoid schizophrenic.

Can drugs help the schizophrenic?
Yes, often.
Can they freely live in society without constantly endangering themselves and others?
No, never without heavy supervision.

So what do we do with the dangerously mentally ill? Closing the insane asylums hasn’t worked....
