More than two dozen people watched as two men stopped their fistfight and picked up shotguns just over a week ago. When the dispute on Carl Street ended, one of them was dead and four others were wounded. But even with all those witnesses to the shooting, police have had a hard time getting people to cooperate and provide information. |

Good idea. Pay witnesses to testify. That will only incentivize people to lie.
How about locking the miscreants up. That is the only tool proven to reduce crime, shootings and killings.
The liberals created this problem with their plea bargains, probation, and lack of effective sentences that make the justice system a farce. As long as the criminals don't fear the police or the justice system, crime will only increase. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
