https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-s...ng-kids-killed - hardly hear about this stuff in the main stream news - criminals are caught and then released and it starts all over again - something is going to explode pretty soon - do the people deserve this - maybe - they keep voting into office a bunch of liberals who have no idea on how to make their cities safe

Doesn't sound like Chicago's Hug a Thug program has failed:

A 14-year-old Venzel Richardson was shot to death on the South Side of Chicago. After the shooting one of the commanding officers in the district asked for a list of all gang leaders in the surrounding area. After receiving that list, he visited their homes requesting they stop the shootings.

While other news outlets have referred to this strategy as “Hug a Thug”, officers are stating that this strategy is an intervention which consists of officers who visit gang members, referred to as custom notifications, to persuade them to stop the violence while providing positive resources.

They give contacts for jobs, social services referrals, and they also try to speak to family members too as well as encouraging the gang members to stay out of trouble.

Sounds interesting may that is what is needed a bit of guidance so those gang members can be assimilate back into the community, rather than being left on the fringe to raise hell. Some well thought out conservatives thinking. Look what wonders it has achieved with the indigenous people.

These gang members need some range time.
Should be a government program teach them how to shoot. Seen one shooting 100 cases on the ground 1 suffered minor injuries. Practice practice want to shoot each other. Get better at it Maybe pass out some blue ribbons for each successful
