An entire wall of Candace Moss' bedroom is covered with awards. The 13-year-old proudly pinned up the paper certificates each time she received one.
In June, there were the "Good Citizen" and "Outstanding Math Student" awards from John Muir Middle School, where she would have started eighth grade Tuesday. There are "Honor Roll" and "Perfect Attendance" awards and a special award from the Milwaukee Police Department from 2003. Candace completed cadet safety training with the department, so she could help small children cross the street.
You want to talk about bullshit, this is it...
We don't want to crack down and do what it takes in the inner city, well, now a great kid is dead because she was forced to live in an area where people shoot guns at random. No, not Iraq...the inner city of Milwaukee. No, but lets keep trying to be "nice" and "understand" why things are the way they are....
Candance no longer has the opportunity to try and "understand" anything anymore...
You know what, raise my taxes, that's right...build a hundred more prisons in Milwaukee alone...lock EVERYONE up who deserves it, keep them there for as long as you can, and let the people left in the inner city who want to go to school, gain a skill, and make something of themselves be left alone by the ones who don't do a damn thing...

Finally, we agree on something real.
we have always agreed on this type of issue...no tolerance for illegals or any criminal...the point I have made before when you have said that is that you are really a true conservative on these type of issues.
Nothing pisses me off more than another story of some child murdered or abused. The penalties for these crimes need to hurt more, the doggedness required to investigate and bring to justic the perps needs to increase to fanatical levels. Kids need protecting. Assholes need to live in fear. Rescind laws that leave good citizens unarmed, and bitch-slap libs who hogtie law enforcement.
