if you remove the thug on thug shootings, the actual number of victims is rather small.

Yep. The problem comes when you believe that thugs killing thugs is a bad thing.

[Oh Shoot]

Well, one thing's for sure, you get caught shooting one of them thugs there, and you're gonna see a helluva lot more of them on a day to day basis. For years and years.

... unless you're one of the thugs. They'll be out in 30 days. Leave the job to the professionals :)

I loved the mention of the proximity to the Chicago home of BHO to one of the shootings. "Less than a mile", in Chicago, is another world away. They act like it's nearby.

lol yea.  There are probably 20 shootings a day within a mile of ga tech, or there was when I went.  That did not make the campus any more or less safe, not a one that I recall involved a student (some surely do but none when I was there).   2 different worlds.
