To my mind, if a crime doesn't carry the death penalty by the courts; Why should it carry the death penalty by Bubba.
Massachusetts has a large immigrant community some of it illegal. Why mention them with crime? I disagree that shooting at somebody is tantamount to the death penalty. If Bubba keeps getting victimized he will get angry. Crime may or may not be on the rise, but there seems to be more of it or more of certain kinds of it. If the police cannot correct the problem the citizenry has every right to.

I used to be against these laws, but I lived in a tough neighborhood where people looked out for each other. There was a certain amount of street justice. The neighborhood was relatively safe.
