"In June 2023, Chavis went to the Washington National Cemetery ..., where the funeral home that he owned was conducting a service for [a] 10-year-old ...

"At the cemetery, Chavis got in an argument with people from another funeral home.

"At some point during the argument, he pulled a gun and fired, striking Banks, who was a pallbearer, and grazing another woman, officials said.

"Banks died at the hospital, and the woman survived."

I have lived safely and happily in a similar area near Stockholm since 1992.

Sweden's annual murder rate 2018-2021: 10.7 dead per million inhabitants.

Legendary hiphop group Public Enemy has a new single, "March Madness." But it's not about basketball — it's about gun violence. Here's co-founder Flavor Flav's story for Newsweek about why he is campaigning for stronger gun protection laws. "America is being built on fear. You have people who are scared. And these people are fighting for gun rights to protect themselves. They wouldn't have to protect themselves if all guns were banned," he writes. "Fear is a powerful, short-term motivator. We need to flip it so it can break through to be a positive and valuable resource. Let our fear of losing our children be more powerful than our fear of our next-door neighbor." At the second link, learn more about "March Madness" from the Quietus. Profits from the song will go to The Black Music Action Coalition Human Rights Fund and the anti-gun-violence organization Everytown.

The new #Republican #budget proposal, the #bigbeautifulbill , is estimated to increase US's exploding #budgetdeficit by Three TRILLION dollars while cutting #medicaid and #foodstamps by 1 trillion dollars!

About #police brutality and #guncontrol. Yesterday after a visit from the debt collector, a man in our area near Stockholm set fire to two apartments and threatened the police with a knife and a crowbar. He's still alive. They shot him in the leg and disarmed him.
