It’s the payback cycle that keeps terrorizing Cleveland neighborhoods, and on the heels of the shooting death of a 9-year-old girl caught in the crossfire, its an even great threat now.
“People not even involved in the situation, they want to retaliate because it’s a young child. However, two wrongs equal another wrong,” former gang member Jeffrey Crosby said.
Crosby, a violence interrupter with the Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance, is desperately trying to stop the bloodshed we see too often on our city streets.
“We don’t want our kids to die,” Crosby said. “We have to step up our efforts even more, boots on the ground, and bring the community together.”
That includes reaching out to those in the community who are opening fire and leaving us all at risk.
“Heartless. When you don’t have a heart, you’re dead. When you’re a felon, you’re in prison. So, Heartless Felon to me means dead or in jail,” Crosby said, referring to a Cleveland gang.
