Lawmaker pushes unique solution to stop drive-by shootings?? SERIOUSLY?!

“Community members are advocating for traffic-calming measures like raised flower beds or speed bumps on 21st avenue where there have been three drive-by shootings during the current school year. That is alarming.”

This sort of insanity is what we get when we elect non-Americans in offices of power. —

SOCIALIST LAWMAKER: STOP DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS WITH ‘SPEED BUMPS, FLOWER BEDS’

‘We need common-sense gun-control measures’

Is it possible to reduce drive-by shootings by installing speed bumps and flower beds on city streets?

A socialist lawmaker in a major U.S. city thinks so.

Kshama Sawant, a member of the Socialist Alternative party member in Seattle, wants her city to look at these ideas reportedly coming from residents in one area hit hard by gun violence.

“We need common-sense gun-control measures, like banning semi-automatic weapons, to prevent gun violence incidents like the one that happened at 28th and Jackson in the Central District on Friday night,” Sawant said on Tuesday during the Seattle City Council Human Services, Equitable, Development, & Renter Rights Committee meeting.

“For example, community members are advocating for traffic-calming measures like raised flower beds or speed bumps on 21st avenue where there have been three drive-by shootings during the current school year. That is alarming.”

She says her constituents believe the speed bumps and flower beds “could have a positive impact and help reduce the incidents of drive-by shootings.”

Although no one from the city’s transportation department was present at the meeting, KING-TV reported a spokesperson for Sawant was told the transportation department did have expertise in “traffic calming measures for the sake of traffic calming,” but not for reducing gun violence.

“I personally understand and share the anxiety of my neighbors and desire for safe neighborhoods for our families, especially for our children,” Sawant added.

Sawant, who was born in India before coming to America, is said by some Seattle residents to be “more radical” than U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Sawant initiated the push for a $15-per-hour minimum wage, which became a national issue.

ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED FOR WHAT IS COMING?  

The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

 Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

 You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

 Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you. —-
