My advice to the shooter, get rid of the gun, don’t turn it in
Another shooting. God help this island of our own
I hope the shooter called Gaston for advice about the firearm before turning in himself to the police.
Well he didn’t need new advice.
All he had to do was to ditch the firearm.
That’s too hot to hand over.
If you carry a weapon you have every intention to use it.
Let us have stricter gun control regulations to protect the innocent. It is obvious that some are not mature enough to exercise emotional self control.
In GANGSTERS PARADISE man just lick shat as soon as dem hab one likkle argument, nobody believe In fisticuffs like the good old days. We have to find out how guns are coming into this country and deal harshly with those responsible
