I couldn't believe this when I read it!
Yesterday, we saw the report about gunshot wounds way way down. Now this:
"Jon Vernick, a professor and associate director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Baltimore, said it's too early to credit one of any number of credible reasons for the downward trend."
"... factors include tougher sentencing, aggressive policing, the Brady gun control law and various concealed weapons laws, Vernick said." |

ABOUT TIME!!
"The slim, sleekly produced volumes with full-color ads for sneakers and gangsta rappers are aimed at young black men, especially those in prison.
Pages are full of words like "bitch" and "ho," and their heroes hit and kill people almost with impunity.
"But even though they are sponsored in part by successful black actor and producer Wesley Snipes, the new series of black pulp fiction novels has become a subject of boycott and criticism in the African American community." |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
