    All it takes is money. And while I do believe that "violence intervention" can work, I'm not sure about these organizations.

    I think it will take a little more money.


    The Anne Arundel County Department of Health (DOH) has named Kingdom Kare as the lead organization to implement the Cure Violence Global (CVG) program in Annapolis. Kingdom Kare will partner with A Glimpse of Paradise, another nonprofit organization with deep roots in the Annapolis community. This collaboration aims to address and prevent violence within Eastport, fostering a safer and more secure environment for residents.

    “This is a significant step forward in the county’s commitment to enhancing public safety and promoting community well-being,” said County Executive Steuart Pittman. “The connections and expertise of these two organizations make them well-equipped to implement this important program.”

    Last year, Maryland Matters reported that Kingdom Kare was named in an ethics investigation with D30 Delegate Shaneka Henson, who was removed from the Appropriations Committee when it came to light that she offered legal representation to Kingdom Kare. Kingdom Kare also received more than $1 million of state funds in the past three years.

    The name sounds like it has religious affiliation...
    Any relation to Safe Streets in Baltimore?
    Is it part of the Cure Violence model?

    This programs pays thugs not to commit violence. it’s basic extortion.

    And why not? It worked as well as might be expected in DC . . . as long as you expected the thugs would take the money and continue thugging.

    Back around 1800, we went to war to end this sort of piracy; today, we're expected to pay tribute, and STFU, or we'd be seen as Bad People and Racist Oppressors.
