And this is relevant to Seattle HOW????? Â I"m sorry, but the media is to blame for some of the violence. They seem to curate every violent gun story they can find, even if it has no bearing whatsoever in our lives. Â Really KOMO? Georgia? Â And this is important to us, HOW? Â Oh, so everyone can feel that our Country is falling apart, and that we're living in scary times, even though the crime rate is 2/3 what it was in the 90s. Â Nice work
@DTGeorge, WA by Moses Lake (the gorge in George) cmon are you from Auburn or something?
@DTÂ Um, George, WA... out by Moses Lake.
@DTÂ the media is the people who come in here and click on this article. Â Therefore you are basically saying that YOU are to blame for the violence for without YOU there would be no "media". Â
Maybe we should blame guns. Â for let's not kid ourselves, they tend to make final the decision to use violence
or maybe we should just blame the person who perpetrated the crime... but that would require we hold the person responsible responsible.
Jail for life
The shooters need some Hard Time for this Real Crime
Remember when people use to move to rural communities to escape things like this? Â Ahhh the good ol days. Â
@Sparky2112Â Oh you mean like my landlord being shot to death in the 70s by some teens that were breaking in his truck? Â Or perhaps the serial killers that stalked my neighborhood when I was a teen? Or the guy from high school in the 70s who was stabbed to death at the party I went to? You mean like that? The "good old days" weren't that good. Â
Now small town life just seems to conentrate all the ills of city living into a smaller environment. Have to agree with Goodwin on this one.
@Sparky2112Â Mexican gangs are big out there....
@Goodwin @Sparky2112 I thought it happened in the United States? Wouldn't that make them united States gangs?
@NWFreeman
Did you not read that these were KIDS! There was a 14 year old girl shot you idiot. Both of the victims go to the same school and weren't illegal. You truly don't know jack about Mexican gangs so I would shut your trap or go post on some topic you are familiar with, like sucking at life.
@beetle73 @sunnysandiego no what I implied is how do you know it is not just another american citizen shooting another.
I mean maybe it was just yet ANOTHER random american citizen shooting another, I know crazy to think such a civilized country with all the might and power of the U.S. has citizens who might just shoot each other. Â Never happens.
@NWFreeman I am sure you didn't mean "immigrated" but rather "infested." Because I know that is how I see what they have done to this country.

sunnysandiego 1 hour ago@Goodwin @Sparky2112 I thought it happened in the United States? Wouldn't that make them united States gangs?Â
That was your posting right?
@sunnysandiego would you say that MS 13 was an american gang or even Logan Heights since they have ties with the TJ cartel?
@aintno1special @sunnysandiego @NWFreeman Crazy me to assume he was referring to the story here?  He must be referring to the big bad obama policies on a much more grand scale....
silly me.
@sunnysandiego @NWFreeman So you are twisting the fact that NWFreeman was responding to your post regarding Mexican gangs...to make it appear he was saying this particular shooting was gang related?
Let me guess you are...Oh I had better not ever venture a guess!
@NWFreeman @sunnysandiego Oh I don't remember reading where it was determined they were here illegally or gang members for that matter.
feel free to site your sources?
Let me guess, you are a republican, conservative tea party pill popping rush limbaugh loving right wing nut... now there is some stereotyping for ya.
@sunnysandiego No, they are not United States gangs, they are Mexican gangs residing, illegally mostly, in the United States, but firmly based in Mexico.  Many of the members are NOT of American-Mexican heritage, but truly Mexican's who have illegally immigrated and whom "our" President would like to give amnesty. Â
Nice small town folk.
