ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) News10NBC has reported a lot about violence in our city and towns this year, but we just learned something Thursday afternoon: 60 women have been victims of gun violence this year.
That information was shared at another Stop the Violence event that News10NBC sent Chief Investigative Reporter Berkeley Brean to cover.
News10NBC has covered many stop the violence press conferences and marches, but the people at the one Brean was just at say they are convinced this one is different.
It was the succession of speakers they point to to show why it s different. One after one it was pastors, politicians and police.

“Sacramento has lost a wonderful person and tireless advocate for our community with the passing of my dear friend Chewy Ito. Chewy had a positive light that emanated from him – he always dreamed big and had an unwavering belief in Sacramento to come through.
“And while he will be remembered for the impact he had on Sacramento’s seniors and the wonderful legacy that he cultivated at ACC, I will always remember his kindness and cherish our friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ito family during this difficult time. Chewy will truly be missed.”

The proliferation of fentanyl in inner cities, including San Francisco, has brought death and addiction. Who or what is to blame? Some say it is America’s insatiable consumer demand for illicit drugs and the constant flow of our guns, which arm the cartels. Others say it is the pharmaceutical industry.

The Interstate 80 bridge over the Mississippi River between Iowa and Illinois can be seen Monday, April 12, 2021, in Le Claire, Iowa. Chad Pregracke, an environmentalist whose Living Lands & Water operation has been cleaning up the Mississippi River for years, has a plan for the existing bridge if a new bridge is constructed to replace it elsewhere over the river. The Bison Bridge would take the current bridge connecting Iowa to Illinois, which is scheduled to be replaced, and transform it into grazing habitat for bison with 50 acres in each state.
