Mayor Declares War Against Gangs

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has declared war against the local gangs. Bully for him! Being a Democrat, his strategy should be obvious: re-deploy the police out of gang-infested areas and let the gangs settle their own problems. We have no business trying to force our cultural values on people living in those neighborhoods, and the gangs are obviously no threat to us. Let’s bring our brave boys and girls in blue back home where they belong. This whole police patrol thing is a distraction from the real war on…whatever.

Sorry. Sometimes a reductio ad absurdum can be pushed a bit too far, I suppose.
