For all the clamor from the left to abolish gun ownership, maybe we ought to
have a look at lenient sentencing laws. At least a few people would still
be alive today. Let’s start with this mutant who killed someone early
Monday. He was convicted of killing a man in 2008 but since he was a “
youth” at the time, he served less than nine months behind bars.
Guess he wasn’t rehabbed.
A shooting at a VIP nightclub in an upscale Seattle suburb left one man
dead and hundreds of parties – including reality star Aubrey O’Day and
most of the Seattle Seahawks team – diving for cover.
Police say a 19-year-old smuggled a handgun into the Munchbar club in
Bellevue, Washington, and opened fire about 1am on Monday – killing a 30-
year-old man and shooting a second man in the hand.
The suspect, Ja’mari Jones, is on the run and considered armed and
dangerous.
He has already killed once before. Jones was convicted in 2009 of the
high-profile, brutal beating death of ‘the Tuba Man,’ a beloved Seattle
street musician. Because he was 16 at the time, he served less than 36 weeks
in juvenile detention.
Going to go out on a limb here and surmise he’s not legally in possession
of firearms.
Meanwhile, across the country, this animal, already convicted of murder,
killed two fireman early Monday.
The gunman who ambushed four volunteer firefighters, killing two, in
upstate New York had spent 17 years in prison for beating his grandmother to
death with a hammer in 1980, police said.
A shame he didn’t get the death penalty back then. Those firemen would be
alive today.
William Spengler opened fire on the volunteers as they responded to a
blaze just before 6 a.m. ET in a small cluster of homes along Lake Ontario
in Webster, N.Y., police said, rocking this close-knit community.
The 62-year-old convicted felon had apparently set a trap, luring in
first responders and then firing on them from atop an earthen berm.
“It does appear that it was a trap that was set,” said Webster Police
Chief Gerald Pickering, his voice breaking at times. “People who get up in
the middle of the night to fight fires, they don’t expect to get shot and
killed.”
Two repeat killers, three people dead. But hey, it’s all those law-abiding
gun owners out there that are the problem, right? Maybe we should have a “
national conversation” about liberal sentencing laws
