Praying for peace

Curtis Richardson, a 13-year-old boy, was standing on this street corner last week when he was shot to death. Today,  activist Eddie Jones, center, led a group in prayer at the same spot. The group also walked through the neighborhood and handed out leaflets urging people to take part in a 40-hour moratorium on violence in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The 40-year anniversary of King's assassination is tomorrow.

How many more people have to die in the hands of gangsters. Again, were fighting terrorist overseas when the terrorist are in our own backyard. Time to bring the troops back home and fight here.

May God Bless and strengthen Curtis' loved-ones in their time of great loss and sadness. This evil, must be attacked on many fronts. Eddie Jones, and all making a sincere effort in the battle, should be encouraged, supported, and augmented.
