“The gunner from Philadelphia couldn’t be let out on the streets. He had a long and very dangerous criminal story. After he injured so many policemen and was captured, he looked as if he had a good time. A long sentence - you need to be much tougher on street crime! ”He wrote.

The Philadelphia shooter should never have been allowed to be on the streets. He had a long and very dangerous criminal record. Looked like he was having a good time after his capture, and after wounding so many police. Long sentence - must get much tougher on street crime!
