Review of “Killing is the New Fighting”

Ayesha Walker has done a great job of going beneath the surface of the issue of gun violence. The interviews with the teens provided a good contrast of inner-city fighting, then and now. The piece made a very interesting point and really got me to think, which is what a good piece should do. I also felt that the music fit well into the piece. My only suggestion would be to have talked to at least one law enforcement official in the piece. Other than, that a great piece that needs to be heard around the nation.
