While this is apparently outside the box thinking, I think it is exactly what needs to happen. Kudos to the obama administration.

Good job Mr. President. Keep up all the hard work. Whoever killed that pregnant girl should be set on fire in the public stake and made an example of.

Definitely a good move by the administration. Obama's toughness on terrorism/violence has been the most pleasant surprise of his time in office so far for me.

This country is way too soft on gangs. We go all out against terrorists who are miles and miles away but we ignore the death and destruction gangs do inside of the country. They cause more terror to Americans than any other terrorist organization.

I don't understand why it isn't all gangs. I get that MS13 is one of the most violent, but the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, Hell's Angels and numerous other gangs are just as dangerous and deadly. I don't usually get behind the US government creating components to deal with state level problems, but gangs are a national problem that needs a national task force with jurisdiction across state borders. An FBI/NSA/DHS type of law enforcement group to pursue all gangs would make a lot of sense.

I thought that you conservatives are for a smaller gov't.

If you focus on them all, you'll accomplish nothing.
