Does it have anything to do that sometimes along with the cross, they put some sort of circle around it making it look like a target? I mean, who wouldn't shoot?

I say the city should subsidize them and be sure to keep innocent family members away. Give rival gangs the tip off and let things sort themselves out.

In my town, all those roadside memorials are generally for high school football players or cheerleaders who got drunk and killed themselves and sometimes others in horrible auto accidents.

Gee. A group of people who have no respect for the sanctity of life killing family members who support their lifestyle by not intervening or who are even actively involved? who'd have thought..

america needs to start utilizing the amendment process to develope stronger laws to combat the new level of criminality afflicting the country.

the bill of rights limits us from creating laws that can effectively address the sick and twisted minds of a "gang member" the level of irrationality and ignorance can only be dealt with by employing tactics not seen since nazi germany.

seriously. "Gangstas"? they are monstosities of humanity and need to be exterminated.

Two things...

1. Pay your respects at the cemetery, it's there for that reason. Stop littering the roadside with your fake flowers, teddy bears, balloons, etc. Take all that crap to the cemetery.

2. Why is it that a roadside memorial always has a cross? I've never seen a pentagram, crescent, wheel, star of david, or any other holy symbol. Just crosses. Might be a message there somewhere.

/the old, bald tires on the roadside spray painted 'Jesus Saves' look extremely tacky too

Then Monday night, a group of mourners were gathered there when a gunman walked by and opened fire, killing two men -- both suspected gang members -- and gravely wounding a third.

I for one think that the shooter should be praised. At least he seems to have spent some time at the range. Not one bullet went into a nearby home and killed an infant, or hit a child jumping rope on the sidewalk.

Nope each one seems to be safely lodged in a gang member.

Gang Members inflict the Buttsecks. They are the ones in charge of it. That;s why they have to be singled out as a special type of criminal.

otherwise, the tool society uses to deter crime will be nonexistent. or it already is.

You're not bigoted. Just... not a very relevant comment. Which is fine.

The bigoted part comes from the "Let all the gangs kill each other, and when we catch a gang member, rape him to death!" crowd that also posted.

The one guy I knew from HS who had a bad accident didn't die, never got a memorial, but he found out really fast who his friends were after he became mentally handicapped and unable to do much at all.

Those roadside shrines (crosses with cheap crap from China all over them) should be abolished.

The front of our subdivision looks like a frikkin' cemetery.

And all of the dipshiats those shrines are for are people who died by their own stupidity. Three of them were driving under the influence and speeding and died in firey wrecks they themselves caused. The fourth one was a woman on her cell phone in her SUV who wasn't watching traffic and turned left into oncoming traffic and was thrown clear of the wreck and died because she did not have her seatbelt on.

/wants to put a big ole "DUMBASS" sticker on all the crosses

"He was a good son, fell in with the wrong crowd. No, I do not know who is father is. Why do you ask?"

Large Obese mother on local TV news, in a wife beater t-shirt, no teeth, really bad hair, cradling a picture of her late son holding a gun and a lot of kids actin' the fool in the back round of her interview.
