"Lawrence Alvin Lovette Jr., 17, was arrested by Durham patrol and SWAT officers several hours after they surrounded a home where he was hiding, said Durham police Lt. Robert McLaughlin Jr. Authorities had received an anonymous tip that Lovette was in the house, McLaughlin said.
Lovette and Demario James Atwater, 21, of Durham, are both charged with first-degree murder in Eve Carson's death. The 22-year-old from Athens, Ga., was found lying on a street about a mile from the Chapel Hill campus on March 5. She had been shot several times, including once in the right temple.
State records indicate both suspects are currently on parole. Lovette was given a suspended sentenced in January for misdemeanor larceny and breaking and entering. Atwater was convicted of felony breaking and entering in 2005 and illegal possession of a firearm in 2007. He also received a suspended sentence."

Reports concerning gun violence consistently show that "most offenders have serious criminal histories". So let's stop blaming inanimate objects for these despicable events, and keep those ****ers actually responsible - the God-damn criminals - where they belong, and OFF THE STREETS; otherwise, these tragedies will never go away.
Hell yeah

1. But let's make sure they're as heavily armed as possible
That's why the USA leads all advanced nations in murder and gun crime.

4. It is ILLEGAL for them to be armed. For some reason - they do not care!
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 08:28 AM by jmg257
It is also illegal to use a gun to commit a crime, and they DO NOT CARE. Probably because they are criminals! So let's MAKE SURE they don't have access to guns, or ANY OTHER dangerous instrument, by KEEPING THEM IN JAIL.
Oh that's gonna leave a mark..........not sure on who yet

9. "That's why the USA leads all advanced nations in murder and gun crime. "
And we are proud as hell of that distinction. Yep, we need more guns. Any and everybody who can legally own a gun should be armed to the teeth and ready for a shootout at any time. It doesn't matter if it is churches or schools, we need more guns because you can never have too many guns. Let me say it again: GUNS, GUNS, GUNS...ooooh that feels good, almost an orgasmic moment.

7. And attitudes like the OP's are yet another reason why this number will keep rising
along with increasing frequency of mass shootings and campus murders.

3. Everyone knows it is not the guns that kill people
It is the lack of enforcible regulations on the purchase and distribution of guns that allow scum bags to get them.

10. Just make sure they have enough guns to kill each other
I have decided I will now click the big red X on those who think that the flood of guns in this country has nothing to do with crime.
