Kevin - It's sickening to me to hear or read about this absolute disregard for human life!

That being said, I believe the Mayor and, the Governor as well, needs to step up to the plate and denounce this behavior in our City.

Especially the new Governor, because Lord knows the previous one didn't give a damn about people of color and/or other people living in the City. Case in point - saw her face a million times during the Cheshire home invasion!

Gov. Malloy could set the tone along with the Mayor to send a message that EVERYONE'S life matters and the State and City will not tolerate this insane behavior!

This alone is not the only solution. There are so many people in Hartford that just don't give a damn, and it overshadows the people that do care. The police department is not a pro-active department - they're re-active. Although community policing and more "boots on the ground" will certainly help.

I also think that Mothers Against Violence,Rev. Henry Brown, the NAACP, The Urban League, etc. need to take their protests out of the neighborhoods and bring the masses to the State Capitol every time a murder happens in the City.

Other cities have done this and at the very least you will get not only local media attention, but national as well!!

Then perhaps, with a concerted effort between concerned citizen groups and those affected by the violence, could take the march down to Washington to the doorstep of the President and Congress!!

After all, desperate times call for desperate measures!!
