Fighting erupted between rival gangs inside a state prison before dawn Thursday, and 28 inmates were killed and three wounded, officials in the Pacific resort said.

That’s a big fight. I’m finding it hard to care (so long as the dead were all from gangs).

That’s a shame. (Not). 28 sub-humans dead about a billion to go. (I remain hopefully optimistic).
