It's tough growing up in any era, but today we have reached a point that demands attention. Based on peer pressure, or living in violence day in and day out, it's easy to see why and how a young person reaches for a gun. They think it gives them strength, power and most of all, respect. The problem here is that in most cases, a situation that involves a gun usually ends up with a senseless death, a long, even life-long, jail-term and several family members and friends who suffer over one senseless act that took as much time as it takes to pull a trigger. Many lives are changed forever in that fraction of a second. This tragic result CAN be avoided.
The "Keep Violence Inside The Ropes" Campaign will give these young people a chance to show strength, power and get the respect they need Inside The Ropes. It takes a mentally strong, and physically powerful person that WILL get respect, win lose or draw, to get into the ring and fight, especially in front of a crowd. The truth is, it takes MORE strength, power and GUTS to step in the ring than it does to pick up a gun!
