Somebody better start hanging some of the mofos by their heels. That, or just quit enforcing all the laws. You can't sell me on the fact that all of this is over one guy. They kill a half dozen in Detroit or Chicago on a Saturday night and no one says boo. Overnight these freaks come out of the woodwork spontaneously? This smells like it's been cooked up to order.
