That's Some Crack Down, Tony

In an effort to crack down on gun violence that last year alone killed or wounded more than 2,000 Angelenos, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and top law enforcement officials unveiled a plan Thursday that would allow officers to evict gun-wielding gang members from apartments and seize their cars.

And we all know "gang" is such a precise legal term that it could never be aplied to "Homegrown Terrorists."

Per StreetGangs.com:

Black Gangs: LA Bloods: There are about 75 Blood gangs in LA County
Black Gangs:LA Crips: There are about 200 Crip gangs in 21 cities and places in LA County
LA Surenos: There are about 500 Hispanic gangs from the Valley, to East LA down to South LA
LA Asian: The fastest growing street gangs in LA County with about 20,000 members.
18th Street Gang: Considered by some to be the largest gang in Los Angeles.

In a rational world, these would be considered occupying armies. For this idiot Villaraigosa to actually think his stupid edicts will impact these hard cases one bit would be laughable if the consequences of mandating good people be defenseless to such predators were not so outrageous. He, of course, knows better, and that makes him an evil political opportunist, willing to crush anybody's liberty if it means more power for him.

Antonio's another one who can't (or won't) control himself, so naturally needs to control those who have no such character defects.

Oh, and I don't know if this is relevant or not, but Thulsa's leading by a landslide in StreetGangs' online poll...
