Pinging David Hogg...
Way too much gang activity at the Landing in recent years. We had a gang shooting at a local high school Friday night. Related??
Possibly.
Gun control doesn’t curb gangs.
“Way too much gang activity at the Landing in recent years.”
The threat of prison or even death is not a deterrent to a lot of gang activity. Going to prison is a ‘credibility’ builder, and a lot of them are so cynical about life that they don’t care about dying. I think the penalty for gang violence with a gun should be automatic castration. That, I think would be a very significant deterrent. I hate to say this, and I really don’t want to paint with a broad brush, but gangs are ruining the lives of a lot of innocent people - including the deaths of children.
The real thing to ask is why has law enforcement abdicated its duty to protect the people against organized crime and allowed gangs to proliferate?
FLORIDA.
AGAIN!
The Landing in Jacksonville reminds me of the beachheads in hostile territory. Sadly, there’s been no further attempt at expanding the beachhead.
He’s already on his bike racing up to Jax.
SHOPPING MALL BLOODBATH Jacksonville Landing shooting – ‘4 dead and 11 others shot’ in mass shooting at Florida shopping centre
Four dead and 11 wounded, according to my raw satellite feed from ABC.
At a ‘video game tournament’.
Flori-duh again.
How many Muslim shooter camps are based there?
The shooting was at a Madden video game tournament. Crazy!
>>The threat of prison or even death is not a deterrent to a lot of gang activity.
Gang membership is cultural. It is a worldview. Nothing will deter people who believe that they must gang up. This worldview is antithetical to the American Worldview.
One suspect dead...scene is still active...searching to see if any one else is a suspect...
This one is making me cry. I have one son in this world. Enough already.
Going to prison is a ‘credibility’ builder, and a lot of them are so cynical about life that they don’t care about dying.

if that’s the case, (perhaps they just imagine a bullet, a noose, a poison pill or shot), how about something more interesting and much more painful might get their attention.
Boiling in oil comes to mind, or Iron Maidens, or drawing and quartering, or we could bring back the bronze Mithras hollow bull, wherein the person is placed inside and a fire lit under the bull’s belly ... all sorts of imaginative penalties for gang members. Including a special prison unit wherein all the instruments are ‘shown’ to the gang member ... film at Eight ...
He’s pedaling his little heart out as we post....bless his heart.
I have resided in Jacksonville the last 20 years — this occurred apparently at the Jacksonville Landing — it is not really a shopping mall. It is where the orchestra hall and Moran theater are. It was a place where Jacksonville was to be regentrified, however at this time it has not taken off. Please realize that this is not a mall like most think of.
Soft target attack / ambush - bump for later....
