Thinking In the Right Direction

In Chicago, they're STARTING to think right. Yes! Chicago’s top cop is now saying "tougher sentences would make fewer gun victims." That’s right! He says Kevin Johnson wouldn’t have been on the street to be shot; he’d have been in jail, and so would the shooter. But he’s right, in a way; both participants in that shooting WOULD still be in jail if the sentences for gun violence had been longer because just before the shooting, BOTH were in jail for OTHER shooting incidents. At least in Chicago, they’re STARTING to think in the right direction for gun laws. What they don’t say is that both participants are gang members. So why don’t they make better laws to control gang activity? (Huffington Post)
