Sure, right. The gangbangers here were tracking down witnesses INSIDE FEDERAL COURTS.

They don't care.

All those other places you named never have things like that happen.

[wideawake]

People in my former haunts kill witnesses quite frequently - rarely in court buildings anymore because of the drastic security measures that are taken now.

But they kill witnesses to murders, heists and large scale illegal transactions, not witnesses to car radio theft.

I'm going to guess that the dead witnesses whereof you speak were not in court to testify to a single automotive break-in.

[muawiyah]

They were in the court buildings for anything that endangered the liberty of one of their gang members.

So, yes, boosting radios, stealing stash from under the seat ~ whateer.

BTW, in DC your local stuff goes to "federal court".

Took the judges a good long while to decide they had to improve security.

Please provide a link to one of these gang slayings of a witness over a vehicular B&E beef. That would be a fascinating read.

Will keep you in mind. Washington Post probably carried the latest news on witness killers in DC within the last two years. That means “archives” but not yet archives they charge for.

Why isn’t this guy still in the race on the Democrat side? He sounds more reasonable than some of the former Republican candidates.

Referring to Rudy, maybe? Don't be deceived. He's just appears that way. He's a dictatorial ruler who talks a good talk but when push comes to shove is as left-leaning as the rest, especially when it comes to big government projects, nanny-state health care, enviro-wacko banning of energy development, etc.

Do a keyword search on Richardson to get a flavor of his governing style and policies. Also, check out this thread:

I’m sorry about the loss your son suffered and I agree that both perps were POS. I also believe in being armed at home and in your car. But you can’t chase someone down after they have left your property, shoot and kill them for a property crime. And you really can’t do it for someone who has harmed a family member, but you’d be hard pressed to find a jury who would convict in that instance.
