| With hot dogs and hugs, mothers take stand against Chicago violence | |  By Mary Wisniewski CHICAGO (Reuters) - Every afternoon this summer, on a street corner in one of Chicago's most violent neighborhoods, visitors have been able to find an unusual block party. A dozen volunteers armed with lawn chairs, a barbecue grill and canopies have taken over the corner of 75th and Stewart in Englewood, a roughly three square mile neighborhood that has averaged almost one shooting a day this year. They play music, cook hot dogs, dispense advice and, as often as not, hug local boys and girls in an effort to tackle the street violence of this South Side neighborhood, scarred by trash-strewn vacant lots and boarded-up buildings. Across Chicago, violence has reached alarming levels this year, confounding city leaders and activists, particularly in the poorest neighborhoods.

Teammates from Angelo State University where Taylor played football and friends remembered him at a church in the Dallas-area city of Arlington as a person full of energy who had much to offer. Former Arlington police officer Brad Miller, a 49-year-old trainee, was fired this week for what the department said was his poor judgment in events surrounding the shooting last week of Taylor, who had broken into an auto dealership and was vandalizing cars. |
