| #8 Basically, she has a close connection with individuals that have been involved in one side of these two groups that are feuding Yup, you may be for "peace" but when the Hatfields and McCoys are at one-another's throats, all bets are off! It's a matter of honor... |

| #7 wow..this is interesting. The link is getting pounded so I'll quote The handgun, which had a scratched-off serial number, and drugs allegedly were discovered Friday morning inside Stevens' home in the 2500 block of South 15th Street. Authorities said they obtained a search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation of a recent series of drive-by shootings. No one has been hurt in the gunplay. snip Although police declined to get into specifics, Stevens has a "close connection" with one of two feuding groups involved in the shootings, Lt. Rickey Davis said Monday. Stevens, 47, who is free on bond, admitted she does know some of the people allegedly involved in the drive-by shootings. But she said she only knows them because her interest in stopping gun violence - sparked by the shooting death of her son Jericko Clark, 20, on July 13, 2002 - has her in the neighborhoods talking to the youths. Keeping in touch for 3 years?? She said the police wrongly believe she is the ringleader of the shootings, and they think she has information to solve those cases, as well as others, including the December murder of Andre Ayers, 22, who was shot as a procession of cars wound through the city's east side. "This is a blatant attempt to try and undermine me," she said Monday night. "... They can't solve these crimes, and I'm familiar with these individuals, so they're going after me because I socialize with all of them." Whoa! You are the leader of the Springfield Chapter of MMM and you socialize with gun toting gang members??? Davis said detectives working on the drive-by cases - which already have resulted in four arrests - began taking a closer look at Stevens after her name came up in interviews with witnesses and informants. "Basically, she has a close connection with individuals that have been involved in one side of these two groups that are feuding," Davis said, declining to elaborate. truth is always stranger than fiction!! |

| #6 heh heh - I remember old Carl shooting an intruder - by the slider to the pool, wasn't it? Hypocrites are cheap - usually have the biggest mouths too, right, Rosie? |

| #5 Maybe we should give her the Carl Rowan Award for most brazen hypocrisy (i.e., laws for thee but not for me)? |

| #3 Gee, maybe I'll call up our Lt. Governor and ask him what he thinks. ;-p [Background: when he was Mayor of Richmond, he tried to use public money to finance a busload of gun-grabbers to attend this "March." Now he's going to run for Governor, God help us all. I think he'll find his anti-gun bias doesn't play as well in the hinterlands as it did in the big bad anti-gun - and yet very violent - city.] |

| #1 Sounds like she is more interested in disarming the potential 'victims' of her (and her late son's) gang then anything else... And as for the gun, she admits to having it in the house. But she said it belonged to her son. She didn't find it until six or seven months after he died. Not knowing what to do with it, she wrapped it up, put it in a drawer and forgot about it. She didn't think to call the police about how to dispose of it right? uh-huh.... |
