About 100 people marched in Oak Cliff recently to decry violence in their community. They carried signs saying, "Just say no to more killing," "Love each other," and other similar sentiments. While I agree that crime is rampant and something needs to be done, I question whether their solution will do any good. Does anyone really believe that some thug bent on knocking over a bank or killing or raping will look at one of those signs and have an "Aha!" moment? Maybe I'm just too cynical, but I just can't see that happening.
Their march should take place at judges' and parole board members' offices. Those are the ones who can do something about the crime rate.
