How to actually lower gun murder rates..."Operation Ceasefire," but Dems don't like it

[2aguy]

The people who commit the most gun murder are actually a tiny group in most cities....in Oakland California, this article points out there were only 1000 guys who were doing all of the shooting...out of the entire population....

this program...started in the 90s actually addresses the problem...the criminals who do the shooting....and because the emphasis is on that...and not gun banning....and because it takes inter faith cooperation and cooperation with the police...the democrats don't care about it....

The results of Operation Ceasefire were dramatic. Soon after Boston held its first meeting—known as a call-in—on May 15, 1996, homicides of young men plummeted along with reports of shots fired.

The Reverend Jeff Brown, one of the ministers who worked on the project, remembers people were outside more, barbecuing in the park. At Halloween, kids were able to trick-or-treat on the streets again.

The team behind the effort quickly started getting calls from other cities—even other countries—about how to replicate what became known as the Boston Miracle. With the support of the Justice Department under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, many cities tried the strategy and some got dramatic results. Stockton saw a 42 percent reduction in monthly gun homicides over several years. Indianapolis experienced a 34 percent drop in monthly homicides. Lowell, Massachusetts, saw gun assaults fall by 44 percent.

------------

Other cities have tried Ceasefire, or half-tried it, and then abandoned it. The strategy requires resources, political buy-in, and ongoing trust between unlikely partners. The effort in Boston had “black and Latin and Cape Verdean clergy working with white Irish Catholic cops in a city that had a history of race relations leading up to that point that was abysmal,” Brown said. “It was really a shift in behavior, in the way we did business.”

Fine by me, but I still want all the guns, in a hole in the ground.

 

[blastoff]

Deep thought.

this is a truth about gun violence...only a tiny number of people commit all the gun violence........and they have nothing to do with normal, law abiding people who own guns.....

so targeting normal, law abiding gun owners does nothing to reduce gun violence.....


Lost in the debate is that even in high-crime cities, the risk of gun violence is mostly concentrated among a small number of men. In Oakland, for instance, crime experts working with the police department a few years ago found that about 1,000 active members of a few dozen street groups drove most homicides. That’s .3 percent of Oakland’s population. And even within this subgroup, risk fluctuated according to feuds and other beefs. In practical terms, the experts found that over a given stretch of several months only about 50 to 100 men are at the highest risk of shooting someone or getting shot.

Most of these men have criminal records. But it’s not drug deals or turf wars that drives most of the shootings.

Instead, the violence often starts with what seems to outsiders like trivial stuff—“a fight over a girlfriend, a couple of words, a dispute over a dice game,” said Vaughn Crandall, a senior strategist at the California Partnership for Safe Communities, which did the homicide analysis for Oakland.

Twit....mass shootings are tiny in number, in 2014 a total of 9 people were killed in mass shootings here in the United States....

criminals murdering criminals are the majority of the 8,124 gun murders in 2014.....

Let's see, subtract the 9 deaths from mass shooters in 2014....from the 8,124 gun murders...

That leaves 8,115 of the gun murders that weren't mass shootings.....

Please...try to understand the truth, the facts and the reality of guns in the United States...you will post more intelligently...

this program...started in the 90s actually addresses the problem...the criminals who do the shooting....and because the emphasis is on that...and not gun banning....and because it takes inter faith cooperation and cooperation with the police...the democrats don't care about it....

Beyond Gun Control

The results of Operation Ceasefire were dramatic. Soon after Boston held its first meeting—known as a call-in—on May 15, 1996, homicides of young men plummeted along with reports of shots fired.

The Reverend Jeff Brown, one of the ministers who worked on the project, remembers people were outside more, barbecuing in the park. At Halloween, kids were able to trick-or-treat on the streets again.

The team behind the effort quickly started getting calls from other cities—even other countries—about how to replicate what became known as the Boston Miracle. With the support of the Justice Department under Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, many cities tried the strategy and some got dramatic results. Stockton saw a 42 percent reduction in monthly gun homicides over several years. Indianapolis experienced a 34 percent drop in monthly homicides. Lowell, Massachusetts, saw gun assaults fall by 44 percent.

------------

Other cities have tried Ceasefire, or half-tried it, and then abandoned it. The strategy requires resources, political buy-in, and ongoing trust between unlikely partners. The effort in Boston had “black and Latin and Cape Verdean clergy working with white Irish Catholic cops in a city that had a history of race relations leading up to that point that was abysmal,” Brown said. “It was really a shift in behavior, in the way we did business.”

the people who engage in the mass shootings are NOT in cities. they're wacko gun nuts.

thanks.

Twit....mass shootings are tiny in number, in 2014 a total of 9 people were killed in mass shootings here in the United States....

criminals murdering criminals are the majority of the 8,124 gun murders in 2014.....

Let's see, subtract the 9 deaths from mass shooters in 2014....from the 8,124 gun murders...

That leaves 8,115 of the gun murders that weren't mass shootings.....

Please...try to understand the truth, the facts and the reality of guns in the United States...you will post more intelligently...

Where did you get that from, Breitbart? Here is a list of mass shootings in 2014 with corroborating reports on each
Mass Shootings in 2014 - Mass Shooting Tracker

The shooting tracker is a lie....as almost all arguments from gun grabbers are...the truth, facts and reality don't support their beliefs...and they feel no need to tell the truth in order to push their agenda...

Washington Post's misleading article on "mass shootings" - falsely claiming "204 mass shootings" when virtually none of these cases qualify for the normal definition of "mass," UPDATED: Response from Washington Post - Crime Prevention Research Center

At least there is no argument about the obvious, that the cases in Ingraham’s sample overwhelmingly involve gangs (as he notes, their definition “allows [their data] to incorporate more of the garden variety gun violence that happens due to gang and other criminal activity, particularly in urban areas”). The problem here isn’t just that “gang members killing each other over turf are motivated by different reasons than disturbed individuals who decide to shoot up theaters,” but that 1) it is particularly difficult to stop drug gang members from getting weapons and 2) that Ingraham’s piece invoked the “mass public shooting” examples that get people’s attention and never gave his readers an idea that the vast majority of his cases were not remotely similar to those cases.

Mass Shootings in 2014 - Mass Shooting Tracker

mass shooting tracker doesn't make a distinction between actual mass shootings and criminal violence.....

The most obscene incidents of gun violence usually do not make the mainstream news at all. Why? Because their definition is incorrect. The mainstream news meaning of "Mass Shooting" should more accurately be described as "Mass Murder".

The old FBI definition of Mass Murder (not even the most recent one) is four or more people murdered in one event. It is only logical that a Mass Shooting is four or more people shot in one event.

Here at the Mass Shooting Tracker, we count the number of people shot rather than the number people killed because, "shooting" means "people shot".

For instance, in 2012 Travis Steed and others shot 18 people total. Miraculously, he only killed one. Under the incorrect definition of mass shooting, that event would not be considered a mass shooting! Arguing that 18 people shot during one event is not a mass shooting is absurd.

If someone is shot it's a shooting. Like mentioned in my previous post, if 18 people are shot, but only 1 dies, that is still a mass shooting.

Nope...they include regular criminals and call it mass shootings...it is the only way they get the numbers so high and by doing so they lie....they know that when normal people here "mass shooting" they assume it means an individual going into a public place and murdering people.....they do not think it means criminals shooting each other in he commission of criminal activity or over gang business...they lie...because they are pushing an agenda and he truth and the facts and reality do not support their beliefs.....

Killing people is murder. Shooting people is shooting. When they shoot four or more at one time, that is a mass shooting even if the ones shot don't die.. You don't get that?
