Girls, 12 and 13, wounded near park: 'Those are all of our children'




Hopefully there is a lawmaker in this State that will seriously consider this suggestion. These shootings are terrorist acts against innocent civilians in the United States of America, and should from now on, be treated as such.

These terrorist have declared war within the States across the country. This simply isn't a Chicago problem. It's happening across the nation. They cannot be treated like common criminals because they will never be such. They are terrorist, plain and simple.

Police departments across the nation have become overwhelmed combating these terrorist with reduced staff, and budget cuts. I suggest some lawmaker contact the Department of Homeland Security, and initiate a plan of assistance for local, and state law enforcement. These terrorist do not deserve incarceration in State penal systems. They are enemies of the nation, and should, no, must be placed in the same system as known terrorist are housed today. They are engaging in drug distribution. That is a federal crime.

It is time for the Department of Homeland Security, created under the Bush administration via the "Patriot Act" to finally do what it was intended for. Imprison, and if necessary, execute terrorist.
