   I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of violence in North Las Vegas lately. Is it a result of our lack of government support for these unfortunate people who have fallen on hard times? I think so. We need to prioritize, and use sales tax and other monies to help these distressed decent people. Raise taxes now...

   What is sad here these thugs were allowed to plea to a lessor charge for taking the life of a human being. I guess its cheaper to plea than to ask for their life in prison or the death penalty in this case. I guess the victims family is happy with the DA office. Its a wonder why anyone lives in LV with a reported murder everu week in the LV Sun or LVRJ. This what turns tourist away. The neighborhoods and poliuce department need to work together to combat crime its sad 10 years for a life.

   Notice that the violence that happens, occurs within itself. What I mean by that, is the violence is not random. It is always a targeted attack, either gangs or drugs. Home invasion crimes are always becuase of the house being invaded, they are slangin drugs out of it. Never random.

   Bodytalk, how right you are. This article and others like it reflect the legacy of the decisions made during those years. The consequences, as we can see, have been catastrophic to this country.

   Get ready for round three.

   Why give a deal to these guys? Is it that hard to get a murder conviction around these here parts? I would have fully prosecuted them for a 2nd degree murder charge.

   But that's just me. The don't call me Bulldog Internet Psycho Boi for nothing.

   This here is actually good news. One gangbanger dead, 3 more in prison. That works for me, although I would like to see longer sentences.

    Funny way to initiate someone by killing them. I would think the number of new members would be small at best. I guess the good news is that four of "them" are off the street.

    So they are making "deals" with murderers now? 1 to 5 years for beating a person to death on a public street?

    There are not words to describe just how broken the Court System is.

    These people should have been doing minimum life in prison.
