Baltimore’s ‘nobody kill anybody’ weekend starts today
John Sexton Posted at 1:21 pm on August 4, 2017
The number of deadly shootings in Baltimore has gone up sharply this year. There have been 208 homicides so far which is more than the number in New York, despite the fact that New York has 10 times the population. This weekend residents are hoping for a ceasefire to prove it is possible to stop the violence, at least temporarily. From NBC News:
Erricka Bridgeford was 12 when she first saw a man die because he found himself at the wrong end of a bullet on Baltimore’s streets.
More than 30 years later, she’s pursuing a city-wide 72-hour ceasefire that began midnight Thursday to end a recent wave of violence that’s taken hold of her Chesapeake Bay home.
Hoping to prove that peace is possible, Bridgeford and other activists patrolled the streets of Baltimore and approached people with flyers in hand. She asked them to commit to the “Nobody Kill Anybody” weekend, requesting that they not exacerbate the violent trend in their neighborhoods.

Put me down for 12:00:00.00000000000001 AM on Saturday
Chicago they’ll ask for a minute without somebody being shot!
‘nobody kill anybody’
Wonder what group came up with that slogan... (sarc)
The solution is more and stronger gun control laws.
Then put up more GUN FREE ZONE signs.
Next take any moral instructions out of schools and begin teaching if it feels good do it.
Last, always blame someone else for what is happening in Baltimore.
Maybe they can have 'a million' people march too - and carry signs- - and hold hands - - and sing 'we are the world'....
The press can come and take pictures - pictures that make the 75 people who showed up look like a thousand... it'll be sooooooo... so... so... 'usual'...
Will the Washington Post come? Will Chris Matthews fawn over the event? Could be a liberal elite circus Chris... Will Michael Moore attend and bring Tom Hanks with him? Republican magic was only 'celebrity' according to Moore...
Seems Democrats are waaaaaay to smart for us... we're gonna have to bow to their genius...
Because criminals and thugs always observe slogans, teddy bears, candlelight vigils and walks.

LOL you forgot Facebook filters - to show support for “Don’ blow yo bro away day”
#DontBlowYourBroAwayDay
Sure, that’ll work, like midnight basketball, gun buybacks, and Terrorist Deradicalization Programs.
You gonna go into the mosques and tell them to stop raping and slicing necks? You gonna tell the people who sell and buy drugs for a living to stop shooting each other?
How many dead so far?
Isn’t the “coexist” sticker the executive summary of this?
LOL
This technically doesn’t start until you hear the sound of the Gun, right? :)
“Be chillin’ not killin’, yo!”
Hey, that was my question. Did you find a pool?
Two possible pools here.
1. What time will the first killing be?
2. How many killings in this 24 hour period?
Easy money!
Wonder what group came up with that slogan... (sarc)
The Baltimo Skools Teecher's Conference Associateds
So far there has been one. I picked 3 for our group pool. I thought of going as high as 6. We will see.
