NY Times Endorses SuperSecret Huberman Violence Plan
2009-11-05 16:08:00 The Times editorial page today comes out strongly Huberman's youth violence prevention plan (A Powerful Idea on Youth Violence), thrilling over Huberman's beat cop cred and way with a spreadsheet and calling his plan new and ambitious. If only most of the ideas in the Huberman plan hadn't already been tried, and if only Huberman wasn't keeping everything but a simplified PowerPoint version of his analysis and his plan under wraps. I'd love for the plan to work, but unlike the Times editorial page I'd need to see it first. Huberman's quickly developing an unfortunate reputation for being super secretive. Not just regular secretive. Cheney secretive. He's Chicago's SuperSecret Schools CEO....
Common speaks on Derrion Albert and teen violence
2009-10-29 20:53:00 BONUS: Common Visits National Rights Museum // 6th Annual Ludacris Foundation DinnerAbove, Common leads off with a message about Derrion Albert and teen violence and I wanted to spotlight the video because of the great point that Common conveys about why this is all happening. He says that teens have told him that they're looking for something to do in terms of after-school programs, clubs, sports, etc. I agree that the more after-school instituted programs that are available for the students will keep them busy and also give them events and activities to look forward to and stay off the streets, so to speak. It's great to see progress in more funding for schools to institute this but perhaps Common's...

Rappers Team Up to Curb Community Violence: David Banner, Rhymefest, Naledg
2009-10-20 13:00:00 For weeks, we've been mulling ways to curb the community violence that has taken the lives of so many Chicago children, including the very recent and high-profile beating death of Fenger High school student Derrion Albert.

Stop Cab Violence by having a Patrick Kane Beer Summit
2009-08-11 20:47:00 Chicago cab drivers deserve respect. And so does the Buffalo cab driver that was allegedly accosted and meddled with by Patrick Kane and his cuz. Mediate with a beer, but wait until Patrick turns 21, or until he has some spare change. See Rob Manker article. Patrick Kane - Chicago Blackhawks Player George Lutfallah of the Chicago Dispatcher, says that cab driving is dangerous. So he calls for a day of prayer. I agree. Having "stop the violence" rallies don't work. It takes more patience to have a peaceful way of protesting, bringing light to the issue of cab driver dangers. Patrick Kane (see video) should be praying with the cabbies and Michael Vick should be at the humane society....

Saddleback's Tom Holladay Back pedal about domestic violence
2009-07-17 02:18:00 Saddleback removes audio clip saying abuse no excuse for divorce , but it took them HOW LONG to come up with an excuse as to WHY?I guess Saddleback didn't have their damage control together fast enough when they decided they made silly and dangerous remarks about domestic violence. They decided months later to let the world know about their error at abpnews.com, but NOT leave any explanation or explain themselves at the time. Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense."I wish there were a third [reason for divorce] in Scripture, having been involved as a pastor with situations of abuse," Holladay said. "There is something in me that wishes there were a Bible verse that says, 'If they abuse you in this-and-such kind of way, then you have a right to leave them.'" He let the Baptist news outlet know his statement had to do with other forms of domestic violence, and you seem to have the right to leave ONLY if physical abuse is present now. It took how many months to come up with this...

Protecting civilians from explosive violence: time for states to raise thei
2009-06-22 12:36:00 Last week the United Nations Secretary-General submitted his annual report to the Security Council on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. The language of the report represents something of a break-though of a sort that's pleasing to see from the editorial perspective of this blog. Hopefully now states will also begin to make their voices heard in supporting the Protection of Civilians report's content both in the Security Council chamber and in elsewhere.The Secretary-General's report observed that the "choice of weapons is critical in minimizing and reducing the impacts of hostilities on civilians". While this might sound obvious, it's worth noting that heavy weapons such as artillery and rockets were nevertheless used in populated areas in conflicts in recent months such as Gaza and in Sri Lanka, something the report also commented on in its paragraph 36:"As demonstrated by this year?s hostilities in Sri Lanka and Israel?s campaign in Gaza, the use in densely popul...

2009-06-02 00:16:00 There have been attacks against Indian students in Melbourne, Australia.

This blog recently reported Channel NineMSN's exposure of security personnel violence against protesting staff and disabled clients at SWARA in Brisbane. Reports that suggest the Melbourne protest was derailed by over-reaction of authorities, brought back eery reminders of those accounts which a number of those involved (including those who remain Sathya Sai Baba devotees) have given.

Saudi Judge gives ignorant excuses for domestic violence. Are we much bett
2009-05-13 16:24:00 Cnn.com was quoted this week:Judge Hamad Al-Razine said that "if a person gives SR 1,200 [$320] to his wife and she spends 900 riyals [$240] to purchase an abaya [the black cover that women in Saudi Arabia must wear] from a brand shop and if her husband slaps her on the face as a reaction to her action, she deserves that punishment."The judge also ignorantly stated:Al-Razine "also pointed out that women's indecent behavior and use of offensive words against their husbands were some of the reasons for domestic violence in the country," it added.We can all see the ignorance in those comments about what domestic violence actually is. The blog world is on fire about the judges comments, and people are making comments about how backwards this thinking is.

Another Pro Life Movement - Domestic Violence
2009-04-28 23:10:00 The Other Pro-Life Movement was an article I was reading on Today's Christian Woman. It was about: How to recognize and help rescue the battered women among us Authored by Corrie Cutrer.Many years ago Catherine Clark Kroeger faced a decision that would influence her life's course. Serving alongside her pastor husband, Catherine became aware of a woman in her church whose husband was physically abusing her.Incredibly, several influential church leaders discouraged Catherine from getting too involved. "To them, I was destroying the home by encouraging the woman to get away from the abuse," she remembers.Then Catherine received a call from the battered woman's counselor, who said, "You've got to get either the husband or the wife out of the home, or you're going to have a murder."So Catherine drove to the woman's house to pick her up and help her find shelter. "I decided preserving the life was more important at that time than preserving the family," Catherine says. It wasn't a...
Churches Becoming Shelters for Domestic Violence Victims
2009-04-27 13:43:00 I saw this story recently, and it was based in Hawaii, and I have to admit my jaded side came out. Churches Could Soon Become Shelters for Domestic Violence Victims? 'Don't count on it' was my first reaction. I realize that isn't the best reaction, but it was coming from my GUT and experience.KHON out of Hawaii mentioned due to huge budget cuts, etc they are looking to the church to help with this issue. They feel that it may cut close to the separation of church and state, but many other programs such as homelessness and food pantries are supplemented by churches. They hope the church will stand up and be counted, because its a HUGE need!I hope they do to, but I wouldn't place any bets on it! You may get a couple of churches that did bother to educate themselves, but that's all you will get. A VERY small number!Shelters need partnerships with churchesBefore anyone gets upset with me lets keep in mind that not all shelters are alike. Some may have volunteers that are MORE trai...

Because those lives, they admit, often seem to outsiders to be shrouded in mystery.It’s easy for people to see the garb they wear, the women said, and make assumptions about female repression in Muslim- American culture, especially where career opportunities and marital relationships are concerned.“It bothers me that the headscarf is such a barrier,” said Ahmed, 38.The three women said they do see one great good arising from the horrific death of Aasiya Hassan: a new openness about domestic violence, both within and outside of Muslim relationships.“S...
