Baltimore Mayor To Potential Criminals: 'Box It Out'
Mayor Jack Young has an idea for how Baltimore can put an end to street violence — a public boxing ring.
BALTIMORE — Baltimore Mayor Jack Young has a suggestion on how the city could help end street beefs — a public boxing ring. "You know gun violence is something that has been plaguing this city for 10 years," Young said at a rally against gun violence Sunday, "and you know the murder rate in this city and non-fatal shooting rate in this city has increased. I’m not happy with it and neither should the citizens of Baltimore."
Young said the city can find other means to settle disputes: “There’s mediation. If they want to really settle them, we can have them down at the civic center — put a boxing ring up and let ’em go and box it out.”
