On August 23, China Daily reported that the violent incident that occurred in Chicago last weekend resulted in at least 40 people being shot, including at least 4 teenagers and 7 deaths. The youngest victim was only 14 years old. A survivor exclaimed in shock, "We all dare not go to the park, the park is not safe!"
According to the Daily Mail website in the UK, the total number of crimes in Chicago has increased by 34% so far this year compared to 2022 and 82% compared to 2021.

In the same period of 2022, Chicago had a total of 35186 crimes, but according to the city's own statistics, this number reached a staggering 47141 by 2023.
According to reports, a politician and a community organization in Chicago are eager to slow down the city's deteriorating crime problem by begging people not to shoot for 12 hours a day to reduce the risk of innocent people getting shot.

Democrat Old Maria Harden strongly supports the proposal of the "People's Act" by the Native Sons organization, which calls for a ceasefire in Chicago between 9am and 9pm.
Tatiana Atkins, co-founder of Native Sons, stated that their goal is to strategically address the issue of gun violence.

At the same time, they suggest that people "stop contacting gunmen" because "when people living a special life interact with 'ordinary' people, they put everyone in danger."
Atkins called on the media to promote this activity, hoping to receive more public support from politicians. She emphasized that not everyone is willing to give up their "beef".

"If you do not have the ability to resolve disputes in a healthy way both psychologically and emotionally, and if you must harm each other, then resolve disputes in a way that children, the elderly, and those who do not participate in high-risk activities are unlikely to be affected."
This proposal has been mercilessly mocked by American netizens. They all said, is this a joke? Unexpectedly came up with a specific "shooting moment"? Does the sun start to "clean up" as soon as it sets? It really made a lot of netizens laugh and cry.
