Last month, we had the fewest murders of any March since 1959. This is progress, but not victory. (live) http://bit.ly/MRELiveVideo
Mayor Emanuel tweeted yesterday that homicides rate has dropped 69% in March. As you may know Chicago's murder rate was through the roof, the year 2012 was a bloody year and the beginning of 2013 was even bloodier 2-4 people were dieing a day and most of those were ages 16-27. Times have been tough, but the data is very encouraging and is keeping hope alive to keep the streets safe. We want to give our kids more, to let them know they can do more than just hold a gun or fight. That taking another person's life cause you have beef with them or you feel disrespected has great consequences. Not only for the law, but for themselves, we want the children of Chicago to know that they can be apart of something that is great and that they can be proud of. I am glad Mayor Emanuel wants to take a stand and turn the community around. We can't not let death rule a community, we want peace and secure streets.
If anyone is reading this the community of South side Chicago need to be for commemorated their combat, for letting their kids be suckered into this type of society where we are afraid to let our kids play outside and we can not stand up to violence. Peace treaty among gangs can be done, I respect the streets and the streets have always something good to offer. So lets stop the beef!
Some type of peace concert needs to be done, this would be a great gift for them... Lets help them stay encourage and stay motivated to keep their kids motivated. We can be a great service for them, Lets get involved and lets do something great, Lets remember the people that we have lost for the senseless murders.
So All my Artist who are from Chicago or has heard about it, maybe we can do something special. I am only just one person and I'm sure other people are talking about how Chicago has came through so much over the pass years. Singers/Rappers/Actors that can put on a peace concert, I know its easier said then done... things are settling down and in the near future this seems like something that can be done, where it can be something like a Woodstock! epic huh? Peace and Unity is what we need, and what we are missing. WE can do this! I'm going to do this if I have to by myself one day, so If I see it being done then I know you read my article. I have been covering Chicago, IL homicides for a long time. We can do it, together we can help!
