Baltimore Mayor Gives an Alternative Suggestion to decrease gun violence

[Old Man Grumbles]

During a Sunday speech at an anti-gun violence rally, Mayor Bernard "Jack" Young — who took office after Catherine Pugh resigned in May amid scandal — advocated organized fights as a means to solve disputes without using weapons.

"There's mediation. If they wanna really settle them, we can have them down at the Civic Center, put a boxing ring up, and let them go and box it out," Young told WBAL.

Now why didn't anyone think of this sooner? I'm sure all the bad guys and girls will jump at the chance to "box it out"

That would require gang members to train for their up-coming bouts, which would require them to spend a lot of time doing something other than criminal shit.

It is actually a good idea, but I can't imagine it being executed.

Send the Neggras back to Africa.

As crazy as it sounds, that idea might actually take root in the gang world.
