If you are not from Memphis tn, then u probably weren't aware of all the violence going on right now. 161 people have been killed this year from violence. Some of these people killed consisted of men and women-even children. It was so sad seeing that 90 % of them were under 30 years of age. We need to pray for one another. I promise it works.

In 2014 there were 41 murders in Switzerland. That's not many but the population is small...more people live in London than Switzerland

Per capita the murder rate in switzerland is not much lower than in the UK.

That's a lot for one city. We have around 5/600 murders per year across the whole UK.

I pray for all the violence to stop. I am tired fo all the fighting and hating for stupid reasons. Such as ones color. We all bleed the same color when cut or shot.
