Organizations believe $6.3 million investment will help curb gun violence – WICS (Springfield)

The money will be allocated to local non-profits like C-U Trauma, First Followers and the DREAAM program. Youth for Christ hosts programs like midnight basketball and high school hangout sessions. Champaign County Crime Stoppers will increase payments for anonymous tips from $1,000 to $2,500, and then to $5,000 for homicide arrests.

Just like the millions and millions of dollars previously slated to bring gun violence under control. Solution, let the police departments do their job. Second, have state attorneys that are willing to prosecute criminals. Third, have judges follow the law and imprison violent criminals. Fourth, make prison what it’s supposed to be, punishment, and prison sentences served to at least 85% of the time given. Maybe a few more but I think those 4 would have a big impact.
