Killing all gang members is answer

Given the economic conditions and the lack of police patrols due to budget cuts, and then reading about a young man walking with his girlfriend who was robbed and killed by three gang members got me thinking.

Since we are building a new county prison in the future, we should include a death chamber in the plans and pass a law in Stanislaus County that being a documented gang member here on a specific date could be punishable by death.

This is a different era, and we need different laws to make our society safe again. Let us start with cleaning out the gangs.

I am sure if put to a vote, the citizens of Stanislaus County would support it.
