We must stiffen gun crime laws! Most of the time criminals are given a soft sentence and put back on the street where they commit more crimes.
Regardless of the gun crime, offenders must be put in jail so they don’t skip town to avoid a hearing. One example is the murder of Police officer Skerski. His murderer committed a gun crime when he shot someone. The Judge in Phila. acquitted him. He then moved to Oakland California, where he was caught with an unregistered gun and was told by the Judge to come back for a hearing. He then skipped town, came home to Philadelphia where he committed more crimes including shooting officer Skerski in the face with a sawed off shotgun and killing him.
We must expose weak Judges and we must urge politicians not to support these Judges on Election Day.
Over crowded prisons should not play a role in the Judge’s decision. Many times gun violators, rapist and drug dealers are put back on the street for this reason.
We must not blame Harrisburg for the gun violence here in Philadelphia. We have laws here that are not enforced.
We must educate children from first grade until twelfth grade on many things that will help in this matter: Gun violence and the dangers of having a gun, Drugs, Pre marital sex, Self-control and peer pressure, Respect your neighbors and school mates, Good grades, Good paying jobs.
We must have more police on the streets!
