Domestic terrorism
Because that's what these thugs are: terrorists. Never mind handing out hugs and harshly worded statements, they need to be caught before they offend again.

Gunmen terrorize N. Richmond
By Karl Fischer
CONTRA COSTA TIMES
NORTH RICHMOND - A carload of gunmen indiscriminately sprayed three blocks of Silver Avenue on Tuesday night, wounding a first-grader and provoking a police manhunt this morning.
Contra Costa sheriff's deputies recovered several firearms and detained at least two people near Parchester Village in Richmond in connection with the shootings, authorities confirmed.
The victim, 6-year-old Donye Johnson, went to Children's Hospital Oakland, where her family reported her in stable condition this morning.
"Somebody came by and fired about 100 shots," said Tyrazna Ray, the victim's aunt. "I heard big ones, I heard small ones ... we all hit the floor."
At least six households on the avenue experienced similar terror, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said, as a group of men in a light-colored sport utility vehicle drove along, firing into houses about 9:30 p.m.
About 10 p.m., Richmond police found a vehicle matching that description crashed on the exit ramp to Giant Road from Richmond Parkway. Nobody was inside.
Deputies staged a massive manhunt in the area, which included an industrial area near the intersection of Giant and Atlas roads, and in the Parchester Village neighborhood, where Richmond police received reports of armed men jumping over backyard fences.
During the search of the industrial area outside Parchester Village, Lee confirmed that somebody shot at sheriff's deputies. None was hit.
Authorities ask anyone with information about the shootings to call the Sheriff's Office at 925-646-2441.

Tazer,
Satan is busy, but God is real. The only way to cancel out the evil that people do, is to do good.
I have a Christmas Challenge for your readers. How about we challenge the Tazer readers to donate dollars and gifts to the family of the little girl. They must be at wits ends dealing with their child's life hanging in the balance.
We can do something good by helping that family.

Tazer, the only way to stomp out evil is with good. I learned that from Jesus.
I'm quite sure with the horror of watching your six year old shot that family has nothing prepared for the holidays. They probably need help with medical bills, and Christmas plans.
Why don't we issue a challenge to the Tazer readership to donate to the family? I'm sure the Tazer could help facilitate that.

Dear PIF,
A verse in Nehemiah goes "Every builder had his sword by his side and so builded," so we stand by stomping out thugs and thugism, even as you build towards love and good.
Once we get hold of info for donations, we'll be glad to publish it and make that challenge. In the meantime, the Tazer says donate anyway, and donate generously. At this time of year there are any number of charitable organizations that could use our support to help out families in need.
Thanks for reading,
The Richmond Truth Tazer
