Gianno Caldwell: The Day My Brother Was Murdered, Gebunden

Klappentext

A Fox News analyst and well-known commentator on urban violence examines the rise in crime and the crisis in public safety affecting American cities and tells how it has personally affected families, including his own.

On June 24, 2022, Gianno Caldwell's eighteen-year-old brother, Christian, was murdered. He was standing with friends on a street in the Southside of Chicago when a black SUV pulled up and several unidentified men opened fire. Fifty shell casings were later found at the scene. Three in the crowd were rushed to the hospital; only two survived. His family was shattered, and Caldwell was devastated.

Tragically, he is not alone.

In this gripping true crime exposé, Caldwell dives deep into the heart of America's big cities, telling the stories of several other murders that occurred on the same night his brother died, revealing the shocking human tragedy beneath the rise in crime rates. The Day My Brother Was Murdered takes a bold stance, shining a spotlight on the multiple failings of Democratic policies that have transformed our once-thriving metropolises into crime-ridden centers.

Caldwell meticulously dissects the consequences of soft on crime policies and progressive agendas that prioritize social experiments over public safety. Though some of the worst cities have the strictest gun control laws, they cannot stop the proliferation of weapons from states with few regulations. He reveals the detrimental effects of failed poverty programs, the effect of the disintegration of two-parent households, the decline of religion, and sanctuary city policies that can help to shield criminals.

Combining rigorous research and poignant personal anecdotes, Caldwell provides a comprehensive understanding of the dangers facing urban communities, and presents a compelling case for a new approach to criminal justice reform and why we must reject the status quo and demand change.
