Default Gang type shooting

Dont know why this hasent been on news here, but this week in Walterboro sc a gang type shooting left 3 people dead one of which was a 20month old baby. Several more were injured in different areas of the town. we are at Edisto several times a year, and I had been told by law officers at least 5 years ago, that gangs are getting very bad. Said part of problem was illegals comming in and taking farm jobs, which is about all that is in that area. said alot of them would work for 1/4 of minimun wage. you have a farmer operating on a shoestring budget, fuel cost go up, he has got to cut cost somewhere or close up shop. at least they have shooter in jail, but it is very hard to think that any animal would stand and shoot a small baby. dosent matter black white or what ever the child has done nothing wrong, What really po me was one of comments in paper blamed obama for this. Come on people if it is a fact blame the man, but just because something happens you dont like dont blame it on him just because you dont like him
here is link to story

Gangs are getting bad everywhere. Most lack real organization and are considered just wannabes. But sometimes those tend to be the most dangerous....out to prove themselves. Drive-bys have become an all-too-popular way of committing murder. A person who does a drive-by has absolutely no conscience or caring about who they hit whatsoever. And very rarely do they ever hit who they originally targeted. And they're always targeting over something stupid....usually drug deals gone bad but half the time it's maybe little more than $10 they're arguing over. Cowards. I watch crime shows like The First 48 and Crime 360 all the time. I see some of the stupidest motives for murder ever. One guy shot another guy over a 'look' he said the guy gave him two weeks earlier. On another show a little girl got shot in the neck with an AK-47 while playing in her front yard when two guys got in a shootout over who knows what. Sherdavia Jenkins was her name. I'll never forget that story.

God Bless the families of those hurt and lost in these senseless situations.

Don't see the point in blaming Obama for it. This kind of stuff has been a problem for a while now. And it's a problem in all parts of the world these days.
