  • Thoughts, Prayers and Inaction: What’s Next in The Gun Debate?
    A national debate over gun control sparked after politicians shared their "thoughts and prayers" for the families of the victims of the recent mass shooting in San Bernardino on social media. Critics and media outlets like the New York Daily News scolded elected officials and GOP presidential candidates for thinking and praying for victims without taking measures that could curb the gun violence in America.
    During our live show, we talked about the latest shooting massacre in our country, the controversy surrounding the #ThoughtsAndPrayers hashtag, and comprehensive solutions to stop gun violence with Chad R. MacDonald, an Activist for New Yorkers Against Gun Violence and editor/columnist for QuietMike.org, where he specializes in writing about Gun Violence Prevention

  • Corruption in Chicago: The Miscarriage of Justice in The South Side
    Social unrest has erupted in Chicago over the 2014 police shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. 400 days after the black teen was shot down by Officer Jason Van Dyke, the city released video footage showing that the black teen appeared to be walking away from officers when the white cop opened fire. Protesters also accuse city officials of trying to cover up the shooting by releasing dash cam video without sound and deleting 86 minutes of video footage of the incident recorded by a nearby Burger King security camera.
    Why did it take 13 months for the video to be made public? Was there a cover-up at the Chicago Police Department and mayor's office?
    We discussed those questions and delved into the Chicago's long history of political corruption with Tio Hardiman, the Executive Director for CeaseFire Violence Interrupters, INC
