Gang violence a norm in RI?

Every time I hear the story about the suspect that killed the 12 year old girl in the Hartford projects by the H street gang to send a message to a rival gang MY BLOOD BOILS! Is this what we have come to expect as daily life in Rhode Island? How soon before it spills into Johnston, Cranston, Warwick and other cities and towns?

I said that if you elect me as State Representative in Johnston that I have plans to fight gang violence. WELL WE CANT WAIT! I promote myself as a real representative of the people of Johnston and of Rhode Island and it's time to prove it again. I am reaching out to the AG's office and to some of our reps to demand action NOW. I want to share my ideas with them and see progress in this fight NOW. Cutbacks in police departments, gangs shooting at police officers and innocent people is not something that we will stand for anymore. I will post the names of those I am contacting and ask you as concerned parents and law abiding citizens of Rhode Island to call those that I post here and tell them that you demand action now and to support my fight.
