Hooray! It's about time this community started cleaning up and taking the trash out! Good job and thank you to the task force!

Hope they don't get bail since they were so close to schools with drugs and loaded guns and were willing to flee to a school during school hours. Because if they get bail and can make bail they will not show up for court and continue to be a plague on the community.

This is one of the huge problems that continues to contribute to crime. Low bails and you can't tell me there isn't enough here to stick these guys with some significant amount of time in jail? I'm sure they all have priors as well.

Why were they not charged with possessing a weapon in a school zone? Perhaps that is a Federal offense. Transfer their butts to federal prison where there is NO PAROLE!
