The Ripple effect of gun Violence, a worldwide crisis. The ripple effect of anything is but an energy that reproduces itself in the exact form of itself, and will return to the creator of the first ripple exactly what was done to cause the ripple. Everything connected to the first ripple will be affected by that ripple no matter how far away you were from the impact. As a community of parents and neighbors who are losing our children to gun violence, we must not be afraid of going after the root cause and reasons of why our children are dying. These violent crimes are not just happening when they occur at the scene of the crime. They began in the minds of these young men long before the actual crime took place.
