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.

Aw, you stole my punchline. I was going to point out that grammatically, “Nobody kill anybody” should be rendered “Don’t nobody kill nobody,” or “Ain’t nobody kill nobody.”

As I have written before, the basis of most major religions in the world is, “Mind your own business and don’t bother other people.”

And then there’s Islam.....................

Allow me to translate for the people of Baltimore.

Nobody kill nobody.

Something like “Do unto others as you would have done to you”

Can’t say “Thou shalt not kill,” though.

That would violate the mythical separation clause.

This is just a poorly disguised scam by Chicago to keep Baltimore from stealing their record on people shot and people killed for the year.
