INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Two men in bright yellow safety vests stroll through a rundown neighborhood where boarded-up houses and padlocked storefronts stand as silent witnesses to a wave of street violence that threatens to taint the reputation of Indiana's capital city.
As they trade small talk with women and children sitting on their porches, the men from the Ten Point Coalition aren't just being friendly. They're trying to keep people from killing each other - part of a broad effort to tamp down the bloodshed using methods old and new, proven and unproven.
The number of homicides in Indianapolis is increasing at an alarming rate, putting the city on pace to have its deadliest year in at least eight years. Already ranked 22nd on the FBI's list of deadliest cities, the city could move up and rival its 162 killings in 1998, the worst year on record, if the hot summer months accelerate the violence as expected.
The number of homicides hit 60 this week and was expected to climb by at least two more Friday following a shooting on the city's east side.

the answer is just the one description that we all assume...
Large Amish population?
grasps for answers, really?
The problem is that PC rejects the real answers
Oh those pesky Amish and “youths” again...
I almost thought it was gun shows for a second.
“Mayor Greg Ballard has met with gang leaders and city officials have proposed about $29 million a year in tax increases to add nearly 300 officers to the police force by 2018. Police have beefed up street patrols, hosted neighborhood meetings and expanded the presence of McGruff the Crime Dog in classrooms to reach kids before they drift into deep trouble.”
That ought to solve the problem. Tax hikes always improve everything.
No.
Mennonites.
Just as bad.
That prompted members of the Ten Point Coalition to host a recent church dinner for gang members, who talked about what their lives are like.
LOL. I think I see the problem here.
“I almost thought it was gun shows for a second.”
Guns at gun shows don’t kill people.
It’s those angry, middle-aged white guys who BUY guns at the gun shows.
My assumption also.
How sad this has come to be expected from the black communities. Over the years it has gotten worse. Why?
It’s amazing what tax increases can do, isn’t it? Lower global temperatures, grow economies, magically increase electricity while reducing fossil fuel use . . . Why, I bet tax increases can turn lead into gold!
"Dawg, it be hard to make sum ends so I gots to jack sum punk-@ss cracka and GET PAID like a muthafo man!"
ROFL!
Yes. It is exactly what you think. The people involved in this issue simply want taxpayer money to fund their programs and pay their very high bills and salaries.
The crimes are pretty easy to categorize. They either involve Black teenagers/young men, the drug trade, or both. Unfortunately innocent people (like a new father living on the westside gunned down during a robbery or the mother/daughter killed by a brick in one of the suburban cities) are involved from time to time but that is not the norm.
Just this morning someone took potshots at an unmarked police car and another guy shot an Indy cop before killing 2 women and himself.
BINGO!
For the last 20 years, we have endured the popularity of the thug culture and rap music.
Rap videos portray “gangstas” as something to be emulated.
The toll on the black community has been, and continues to be, enormous.
