The community is reeling from stupid leftist politicians and Soros bought and paid for district attorneys.

What are the sign-offs these violence interrupters agree to, and when do the lawsuits commence?

FTA: "He was a son, he was a father, he was a partner. He was a brother, he was a devoted and present father to his child."
Ummm -- yeah - - but - - I don't see "husband" listed among his attributes. His murder is horrible - - but quite predictable within that "community."

I believe history has shown us that a .357 magnum is an excellent "violence interrupter."

Baltimore worked just fine when Mayor Schaeffer and certain elements from Little Italy were running things.

Violence interrupter? Who came up with that Orwellian moniker? The two recent problems happened when the violence got interrupted by the intervening body of an innocent, turning him into a bullet cushion, sacrificial artifacts over which crooked pols and Soros DAs weep crocodile tears. In many large (blue) cities the political will to eradicate crime simply does not exist, because doing so would involve arresting, trying, and imprisoning very large numbers of feral human beings who know nothing but robbery and murder. Those who prey on the innocent should be removed from society. If the street criminals aren't stopped, they spread like cancer and life in proximity to them can be brutal.

Is it really (illegal) guns that are causing all the aggravated assaults and murders that are being perpetrated in the big Democrat run inner cities, or is it gross irresponsibility by the large criminal elements of the “community” that the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats consider to be one of their prime voter constituencies necessary to keep them in political power?

How long before they start demanding the ability to carry a firearm?

These unnecessary deaths are further proof that criminals with guns are deadly. More than likely it is not the Police Officer's fault when an armed criminal is shot. It is a necessary action to maintain the public's safety from the armed criminal.

A "violence interrupter" is the sort of occupation that the defund the police people were thinking of when they proposed replacing police with less violent types. Doesn't look like they are doing any better than and have a higher mortality than the police, but at least the perp wasn't hurt.

This program is nothing new. Neither is the apparent lack of results. Until The Community gets its act together, street murders will continue. Absent parents with their own pathologies, surrounded by an environment of despair, victimhood, and self-segregation from the real world, where people can make a success of themselves...needing a swift clearing of the deadwood with The Community cooperating.

Younger brother, as I have noted previously, is a psychologist.
He retired early, and volunteered to me the reason - he felt unsafe in his employment. And he was not facing potentially violent patients in every case.
Probation/parole officers in Pennsylvania are armed - for good reason.
It is absurd to put 'violence interrupters' - an Orwellian label! - in harm's way.

Defund Police replace them with 'violence interrupters' brilliant simply brilliant. Bullet magnets is more like it.

The shooters view these people as eyewitnesses. Of course, they're are going to get shot.

Here's the straight story.
An unarmed "violence interrupter" is just going to be a bullet magnet. Death is a certainty. How do they find people stupid and unimaginative enough to even attempt this job?
