Mass shootings like this aren’t common in hispanic communities. There are most certainly gangs and cartels but more targeted violence because mass shootings is bad for business. I wonder what the backstory on this is. Is it cartel related? Is it a turf war between Venezuelan gangs and local cartels? Is it a turf war between the black gangs a mile to the east vs the hispanic gangs in little village? This may never be solved but I have a feeling that this is going to go on for a long time.

And Mayor Johnson is canceling ShotSpotter? Where’s the logic in that?

There I go again, expecting logic – my bad!
