SOUTH LOS ANGELES (KABC) --A spike in gang violence in South Los Angeles could be spread by social media and has resulted in increased police patrols in the area. Five people were shot within a matter of hours in three separate incidents Saturday night, which resulted in the Los Angeles Police Department issuing a tactical alert. Some believe the shootings are related to the social media postings using #100Days100Nights. They are messages warning of gang warfare and threats of 100 days of violence.

That is but one of the headlines circulating throughout Los Angeles. Some say it's a conspiracy to evoke fear within the Black community. Others believe it to be a truth that needs far more attention. Either way you look at it, lives have been senselessly lost and residents of South Los Angeles are tired.

On this episode I will be joined by Pastor Michael JT Fisher of Greater Zion Baptist Church in Compton, CA. He will share reports from a community meeting he held (hours earlier) with pastors, politicians, and commuity activists about the wave of killings in his city and what needs to be done to shift things. I challenge everyone to listen-in and/or call-in because enough is enough. It is time for a change.
