This proposal, \u200bput forth by the community group \u200bNative \u200dSons, asks gang members \u2063to refrain from firing \u2063guns between 9 \u2062a.m. and 9 p.m. You can read more about it <a href=\"https:\/\/cwbchicago.com\/2023\/08\/chicago-group-want-gangbangers-to-refrain-from-firing-guns-between-9-a-m-and-9-p-m.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We have \u200dto start somewhere,&#8221; says Tatiana \u200dAtkins, \u2062co-founder of Native Sons. &#8220;Our goal \u2064is to\u200d approach our city\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gangs-in-chicago-asked-not-to-commit-shootings-during-the-daytime\/\" title=\"Chicago gangs urged to refrain from daytime shootings.\">gun violence problem strategically<\/a> and not all at once.

Tatiana Atkins hopes that parents will\u2064 become more proactive in protecting their children if\u200b they know\u200b when\u2063 gang shootings are likely to occur.<\/p>\n<p>This proposal\u2064 comes at a time when Chicago is grappling\u2062 with \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-iraqs-presidential-palace-breached-u-s-embassy-employees-evacuated\/\" title=\"WATCH: Iraq\u2019s Presidential Palace Breached; U.S. Embassy Employees Evacuated\">persistent violence<\/a> under its new Democratic\u200b mayor, Brandon Johnson. Just last weekend, 23 people were shot, with four\u2064 fatalities. The previous weekend saw the tragic death of an eight-year-old girl among seven others killed.<\/p>\n<p>Since Johnson took office in\u2064 May, crime \u2064has surged by \u200b38 percent. Robberies alone have increased by 17 percent compared\u200d to the\u2062 same period\u2062 last year, according to police data. Over the past three years, robberies have risen \u200bby a staggering 30 percent.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u2064worth noting that Johnson&#8217;s campaign advocated for &#8220;health professionals, not police,&#8221; to respond to \u2062crisis calls. He was also the only\u2062 mayoral candidate who did not\u2064 support filling the city&#8217;s \u2064more\u2062 than \u20621,500 police vacancies.<\/p>\n<p>Under the previous mayor, Lori Lightfoot, \u2062the \u2064homicide\u200d rate in Chicago skyrocketed \u2063by nearly 40 percent since 2019. Lightfoot has since transitioned to\u200d a teaching \u200dfellowship at Harvard University.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Chicago Democrat urges gang members to restrict shootings and killings to evenings.
