Group Holds "Love March" In Chicago To End Gang Violence Without More Police

Hot Air
Over the past several weeks, the number of people either injured or murdered in shootings in Chicago has rapidly grown too large to keep track of. And as almost always happens with gang violence in poorer urban areas, the vast majority of the victims are Black or Hispanic. Now, some residents of those very neighborhoods in the Windy City are growing exasperated with the inability of the city to tame the violence and are hoping to do something about it themselves. While their methods and theory may be a bit dubious (more on that shortly), their hearts and goals are clearly in the right place.

A group named GoodKids MadCity has been working to shut down some of the violence through mutual cooperation and communication. One organizer, 22-year-old Nita Tennyson, who lost one of her best friends in a shooting last weekend, helped to organize a "love march" in an effort to get the community engaged in the process.

...Another organizer said that the gangs will "come to terms, and agree to peace treaties, and end the cycle of violence that has claimed the lives of women and children."

I assume the author is being poetic and means the number of shootings is mind-boggling. Hey Jackass seems to be doing a good job of tracking the numbers. So far in July, 268 peeps have been shot, with 1992 YTD.

If you miss following the baseball box scores, this might be a substitute.
