What bothers me, shooting into houses of home owners who know NOTHING about “why or who” these perpetrators are about. It is hard enough for decent people to purchase a home in this HORRIBLE city of high taxes & utilities. AND then to have shooters blast occupants who are in their own beds, bc they have to get up & go to work. Disgusting!!!!!! “Dunno” why anyone would choose to live here—just let all the gang member & dope peddlers shoot it out with each other–QUIT bothering community members who are contributing & trying to provide a productive living.
