Where’s the firearm that was used?
They never seem to be found, in any of these cases???…..
That’s a good point. I don’t recall hearing of a case where one had been recovered. A comforting thought.
One only has to look at the Modus Oper and see why. These are just punks getting their rocks off and making a name for themselves within the gangs. Most of them if not all don’t want want to be known personally as this would cause them harm and their families in such a small community.
It’s not like they are big guys in the drug and crime world. They are not. The big guys sit back, reap in the monies and if you don’t tow the line they send in the small fry and wack you.
As for the guns? They are everywhere. In plain sight, hidden right in front of your eyes. Sorta like the “DVD” drop offs………….pick a wall and or palm tree…….
