Now do a follow up report on what happened to the 56 perpetrators. There should be a one way ticket to a cell, 6 months for first offense, for discharging your firearm in this manner.
We all already know the answer: Kim Foxx drops the charges. Or she reduces the charges to a misdemeanor, and then drops the charges. Same thing as the last 8 years.
Kind of insane to think that if you inadvertently cut some one off, or look at someone the wrong way on the highway, the driver or passenger in the other vehicle will pull out a fully automatic weapon and try to kill you while traveling at speeds of 80 mph. This is completely, insane third-world feral behavior.
Too bad the crime solving plate readers and shot spotters are racist.
