Cleveland is well on their way to reaching 130 homicides this year. Perhaps former mayors Dennis Kucinich and George Voinovich should stop thinking globally and start acting locally. Kucinich could try a City Department of Peace, Love and Harmony and Voinovich could probably cry out a Plan E for Exit and develop a strategy to redeploy our civilians as quickly as possible.
City leaders are clearly concerned about the surge because Cleveland has a history of turning out some serious shock and awe (ONN):
The city is on pace for 130 homicides this year. Last year there were 119, and in 200 there were 75.
But in 1990, police investigated 180 homicides, 280 in 1980 and 333 in 1972.
We must get out now!
