Comments: 
LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND TOO UNCERTAIN TO TURN A DEAF EAR AND A BLIND EYE TO THE IMPACT THAT GUN-VIOLENCE HAS ON AMERICA. WE ARE LOSING TOO MANY PROMISING AND PRODUCTIVE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, ESPECIALLY AMONG OUR TEENAGE POPULATION, WHO WERE ROBBED OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALIZE THIER OWN POTENTIAL. WHO KNOWS...THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SCHOLARS, EDUCATORS, ENTREPRENUERS, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, GREAT POLITICAL FIGURES, DOCTORS, LAWYERS, RESPONSIBLE PARENTS WHO COULD HAVE BEEN EMULATED BY THEIR OWN CHILDREN. WE AS PARENTS OF SLAIN CHILDREN WERE ROBBED OF RELSIHING THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING OUR CHILDREN PROGRESS THROUGH THE MILESTONES AND STAGES OF LIFE. THIS CULTURE OF VIOLENCE MUST BE TRASNFORMED INTO A CULTURE OF LIVING STRONG, NOT WRONG AND LIVING LONG! LOL! GOD BLESS YOUR MINISTRY...AS LONG AS IT CAN HELP SOMEONE. PEACE.</strong>

On May 10, 2007, 16 year old BLAIR HOLT, lost his life due to a senseless act of gun violence, while traveling from school on a public bus. Four other students were violently shot and injured during the same horrific incident. All were the unintended targets of another youth’s violent approach to, rather than, communicating verbal mediation towards conflict resolution.
