A local violence prevention group in South Bend is addressing recent violence in the area.
Isaac Hunt, who is the President of Hunt’s Consulting, is emphasizing the importance of providing resources such as mental health counseling, jobs, education, and trades to young people to prevent gun violence.
Hunt also stresses the need for parental accountability, suggesting fines for parents of minors caught out after curfew.

So it is the community’s fault for not providing “resources such as mental health counseling, jobs, education, and trades” and it the parents’ fault for not making sure their kid is inside after curfew.
At what point will violence actually be the “young person’s” fault? We’re not fixing the issue until that happens, instead we’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Also, why the focus on “gun” violence? Is that somehow worse than stabbings or rapes? Or is it just that South Bend doesn’t prosecute those crimes, but instead focuses on the guns for political reasons…
