Baltimore activists' attempt for a murder-free weekend proved to be too much to ask of the city, with at least three people shot, two of them killed, in less than 72 hours since guns were ordered to be put down.
Activist Erricka Bridgeford promoted the campaign as a "Baltimore ceasefire" and "Nobody kill anybody" weekend that began on Friday and ends Sunday night, garnering the support of thousands on social media since May.
The city made it through Friday with no shootings reported, drawing hope from participants the campaign might see some success. But by Saturday, two men -- ages 24 and 37 -- were shot and killed in separate incidents just hours apart, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Another man, 22, also suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, FOX45 reported.
Participants gathered at the scene of the shooting to comfort relatives and neighbors. On Sunday morning, Bridgeford took to Facebook to ensure Baltimore residents the "ceasefire has NOT ended."
"If you are going to run around here acting defeated, A. Part of me wants to give you this nub to your eye, and then, to hug you, and B. You are not ready for this revolution. It's fine. But please sit down & quiet yourself. Stop panicking out loud. Find a corner & watch us keep GETTING THIS WORK," Bridgeford wrote on her Facebook page.

It should have been called "Don't nobody kill nobody weekend".
I’ll give these activists a thumbs up in that they are actually trying to do something in their communities and don’t stop when the cards are stacked against them
Meh. Liberal’s solution of holding hands across America and singing “We are the world” just doesn’t fix the sewer they inevitably create everywhere they infect.
Kumbaya didn’t work ... again.
Let me see.....
10 commandments (thou shalt not kill) doesn’t work.
State and Federal laws against murder don’t work.
I have an idea, lets have an “activist” ask our inner city thugs to be kind and not kill somebody....
Great
Maybe they flew in from Chicago and didn’t get the message?
The weekend ain’t over and the fat lady hasn’t sung...yet!
Is activist an actual full-time job?
“There he is! That’s him! That’s... the Warrior! He shot Cyrus!”
The weekend isn’t over yet either.
Tribal impulse is too strong.
Obviously somebody didn’t get the memo. And the weekend isn’t over.
Sometimes Nobody Jones takes things a bit too literally.
To be sure, Anybody Smith will NOT make that mistake again.
They neglected to take “proper” grammar into account.
It should have been called “Don’t nobody kill nobody weekend”.

Ain’t nobody got time to not kill nobody.
Yep. Didn’t send the message out in ebonics.
“They neglected to take “proper” grammar into account.
It should have been called “Don’t nobody kill nobody weekend”.”
Exactly. It was a lack of proper communications. If you are going to use the right language to communicate with these thugs it has to be Ebonics.
I’m guessing more than a few “didn’t get the memo”.
If both the victims’ names were “anybody,” then everything is ok.
As long as the killers’ name was “Nobody.”
