STOP THE VIOLENCE by building a 10000 man building out of concrete blocks to house them, since we don't have enough room in our 5 STAR DIGS, and take them off the street.....that is how to STOP THE VIOLENCE....or USE A TENT CITY like out in AZ. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VIOLENCE. You never thought the criminals were going to read those signs, did you? Never hurts to try tho'.

Benny Johnson should be commended on his efforts. He has done an absolutely wonderful job trying to teach the youth about black on black violence. I only wish more would listen to what he has to say. I hope the new director is as adament as Benny was with this.
