  • This effort by Hutchinson and Eddie Jones was nothing but a cheap publicity stunt. They are nothing but one man bands. Both have groups with no one in them but themselves. That's because there more interested in media attention than the real work like leaders like Dr King did. The P.R.Stunt was a failure and so is that type of lleadership

  • Does anyone think that killers would respect such a moratorium?

  • Gun control makes sense on so many different levels that transcend a mere 40 hours. America is the poorer for the preventable loss of life.

  • The moratorium was a joke. Our city council would rather maintain their petty fiefdoms than actually work on a real solution to the gang problem like the one Laura Chick proposed. Our city council is an absolute disgrace, and wasting time with this sort of showboating rather than coming up with real solutions to reduce gang crime and improve schools is a perfect example.
