Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s choice to be director of violence prevention is a longtime anti-violence worker in Chicago, her administration announced.

Norman Livingston Kerr will start in the $130,000-per-year role Monday, officials said.

Originally from Jamaica, Kerr is a Chicago Public Schools graduate and former director of CeaseFire. He also worked at UCAN, a group that works with “15,000 at-risk children, youth and families across Illinois,” according to the organization.

At UCAN, Kerr led the organization’s community violence intervention efforts, the mayor’s office said.

How nice. The mayor of Chicago wants to prevent violence, and has hired someone for the job of preventing violence?

I have doubts but would love to be proven wrong, and see this guy prevent violence.

That does it. Murder rates will DROP. Mark my word, putting 130,000 behind this gal from Jamaica is a good fix. They shoud have done this a long time ago.

"..choice to be director of violence prevention is a longtime anti-violence worker in Chicago,.."

Apparently hiring a local long time anti violence worker that has had zero local results over the years.

The chance of going to jail in Chicago is near nil for a drive-by. The folks in the Hood won’t talk and police are powerless. Trump said earlier he wanted to use federal resources— that is the only solution.

So far, the 2019 homicide clearance rate is 9.5% (not a typo)
All chicago stats here (including the clearance rate):
