DETROIT - NOVEMBER 21: The General Motors (GM) world headquarters building stands tallest amidst the Renaissance Center in the skyline of city's downtown on November 21, 2008 in Detroit, Michigan. As car and truck sales have plummeted across the country, large inventories are building at dealerships and factories. The Big Three U.S. automakers, General Motors (GM), Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC, failed after appearing this week in Washington to receive money after asking the government for federal funds to curb the decline of the American auto industry. The city of Detroit, home to the Big Three, would be hardest hit if the government allows these auto makers to fall into bankruptcy. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

Paintball As A Way To Stop Gang Violence???

Author Brian Ives // Managing Editor, Beasley Media

This might be the coolest thing I’ve seen all week. I am all for this! According to these cats they’re using this as a way to reduce the violence in the city of Detroit. This might be one of the best ideas I’ve heard of in a long time.

Now to the police it will look like a real gun which obviously poses a danger to the boys in blue. But at least people are out here trying to make a change for once in this city.
