On this trip, I met folks who value people and places just like I do and it wouldn’t have been better had I punched that tag. It’s turkey time in Alabama on MeatEater’s “This…
(Continued from Part 2.) There isn’t room here for detailing all the things to look for to see trouble coming, but violence does not usually consist of a bad guy leaping out of the bushes to attack someone.

Despite these positive trends, Chicago’s violence rate remains alarmingly high, being reported at six times the level of New York City. Advocates and city leaders emphasize the ongoing danger faced by peacekeepers involved in frontline interventions, spotlighting the tragic loss…
