Thank GOD that we can still have our guns. I think that these people should be put on public display, teahthered to a wall, and the public should be allowed to stick them with pins until they bleed to death. Public displays will help eliminate actions like these. The court systems are screwed up. Lets get some more liberal judges, they will want to rehabilitate these crapbags
