Ever wonder what would happen if they learned shoot straighter? Watch out if they ever do.
The out-of-control rogue militia out there with illegal firearms and ammunition are already doing deadly damage.
Spiking shooting numbers show that. What statistics don’t show are the bullets flying that don’t hit anyone.
The outrageous shooting at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday outside an establishment at Eighth St. and Lake Shore Blvd. W., where more than 80 shell casings were found by cops, is an example.
One person was struck in the leg while many others dodged the dozens of bullets, which can stray in any direction and land anywhere — including in a nearby home or even in a child’s room.
Just listen to the gunshots in the video of the incident and picture each one of them hitting somebody you love.
Also, know that after the original day’s coverage, there won’t be much interest in such a shooting as society moves on to the next bullet hole or bleeding victim.
Instead we will hear taxpayer-funded talk about defunding police. That’s what the criminal element, and those who make excuses for them, are bucking for.
The police are a nuisance to the organized crime thugs and so are the courts and correctional systems. Weaken them all and shun, shame and name-call anybody who tells it straight will be the order of the day.
But not everybody is fooled. Not everybody is afraid.
“As a retired cop of 32 years, I must say I am excited to finally see some, albeit very few, columnists and reporters having the stones to actually challenge the politically motivated anti-police movement,” Gerry Kinnear, of Ottawa, said in an email. “The politicians and press, whether they agree with it or not, are too afraid to speak the truth when it is important to do so.”
He’s right. Many don’t want to hear or see the truth that is right in front of them.
The press should not just be recording, reporting and repeating shootings but should be condemning them. We have to be careful to not become complacent or accepting or even bored of the mayhem. Throw in the towel and the gangs will have full control.
Instead, police need to crush the gangs and take everything away from them. Park excuses and political correctness away for a few years and deal with this with legal tools like TAVIS, street checks, police in schools, rare bail, tough sentencing, deportations and tough love.
Defunding police should be replaced with more funding for police.
Sooner or later people may wake up and say enough is enough. But even with innocent kids shot in playgrounds and bystanders struck in cemeteries, while out for dinner in popular areas, driving along highways, standing outside bowling alleys or enjoying family barbecues, the public still tolerates this evil madness.
The reality is the people in charge have got it all wrong and they are no longer the bosses. People should defeat the failed politicians.
Officer Kinnear knows this more than anybody: “Perhaps others may one day come to the realization that allowing the criminals to direct the justice system may have been a bad idea. I just hope it won’t be too late.”
He’s right. We let the bad guys call the shots and they keep firing them.
Hopefully they don’t learn how to aim better.
