Thanks a million and please keep up the rewarding work.

I used to work for an organization that lobbied against gun violence and I even did my Master’s thesis work on the The Cost of Hand Gun Violence by spending the night in the Cook County Hospital Trauma Unit. Boy, the things I saw. This was in the late 90’s. Nothing like now.

I’ve heard all the slogans, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and all of those that defend the 2nd Amendment and have even had personal run-ins with NRA members and their “way of thinking.” I survived and no weapons were drawn. Just those of opinion and choice words. However, I digress.

To your point about curbing violence. It does require civic engagement on an entirely different level than this generation knows. We should go back to days of old when “the village” was so connected and committed to one another and to itself that violence, robbery, plague, nor disease could or would enter. If it did, it did not stay long. We stood up for what was needed to maintain a sense of community, civility and quality of life.

We must remember or dare I say come to realize, that the police is a mere agent, a resource and in many cases an outsource for what we must first do in our homes, in ourselves, on our blocks and in our neighborhoods. It must begin with us indeed. Amen!
