It’s sad and annoying that society has to spend money prosecuting these idiots willing to die over a joint, territory, or whose car or neighborhood is better.
Maybe Giuliani was right. Make the little things pay big. Graffiti? 7 years. Peeing on the street? 10. Shooting a gun in a gas station? Jeez. Forever.
Crimes like this won’t happen because either people are afraid of going to jail or are already in jail for some scary amount of time.
