The gangs won this round.

Local law enforcement is letting a streetgang dictate how a local high school is permitted to run a graduation ceremony.

Were I police chief I would get on TV and radio and say: "Tyrone will speak at the graduation. There will be a strong police presence. Those policemen have orders from me to shoot to kill anyone who attempts to disrupt the graduation. Any gang member who, by some miracle, manages to survive an encounter with my men will be transferred to the federal authorities to face terrorism charges. That is all."

I hope everyone on this thread realizes that this part of the whole "Stop Snitching" campaign.

Hunt down and exterminate the gang members like the subhuman filth they are and let this kid have a normal graduation.

Great parents. One kids is class president and another that is brave enough to testify against gang members. I see a bright side to an awful story.

Sadly, it's the closest the gang members have ever been to a high school diploma.

Maybe Tyrone can virtually participate.
That should be just as good since the President says virtual walls are great.

WHERE IS THE LOCAL CITIZEN MILITIA? This ceremony should have a large contingent of armed citizens around the perimeter and inside, prepared to shoot-to-kill at the first speck of gang violence. It's not so much that the gangs have "won" here, but that the citizens have surrendered without a fight.

Where is Jesse Jackson?
