1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Residents of Baltimore are so fed up with the constant

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: killings in their city they're not taking it upon themselves

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: to try and stop it, at least for a weekend.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: Erica Bridgeford, a forty four year old mother, is one

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: of the organizers of a new citywide campaign, Nobody Kill Anybody.

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: She and other neighborhood leaders are asking Baltimore residents to

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: commit to a three day cease fire during the first

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: weekend in August. So far this year, one hundred eight

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: eight people have been murdered in the city. Miss Bridgeford

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: has a personal stake in the effort. Her brother was

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: killed and his killer was never brought to justice. The

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: nobody kill Anybody slogan has been printed on T shirts,

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: community meetings have been held, a Facebook page, and a

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: website have been created. The website says the ceasefire is

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: the product of Baltimore residence not only being exhausted by homicides,

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: but believing that Baltimore can have a murder free weekend

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: if everybody takes responsibility. To date, six people to pledge

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: not to kill anybody during the ceasefire weekend, including some

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: of the young men who hang out on Baltimore Street corners. Now,

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: for years that liberal political class is called conservatives mean

21
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: spirited for saying people should take responsibility for their own lives. Now,

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: I guess things are so bad in Baltimore that asking

23
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: people to take responsibility appears to be the only optional left.

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: Can you believe a cease fire in an American city

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: on a weekend
