Ron Gee, Founder of Cease Fire Indy- Killed

[bgcatty]

He founded an action group Cease Fire Indy advocating against “gun violence” in Indianapolis. Unbelievably he was shot and killed yesterday, July 18th while sitting in his car at or near East 38th and North Arlington Street on the City’s East Side. Only guessing; but, he was probably shot by the kinds of people he and his group were speaking to seeking to end the “gun violence.“
Just unbelievable!

Probably the police got him...

Never just sit in your car.

Saw this one in the news. He got shot several years back, too. He owned a restaurant on the east side that burned down last year, and some employees were caught with drugs and stolen guns. Lotta weird stuff going on, but the man sure seemed to care about the east side and wanted it to be better.

Some crabs in the bucket apparently couldn't stand that.

I don't know much about Indy, but I did work on 38th Street for a while. I don't remember it being a nice neighborhood.

I don't know if Cease Fire is still a thing but when it started up and got rolling in Chicago leaders of it were getting shot or arrested on a regular basis

When I read about stuff like this it always seems sad, but I wonder if the people involved are still connected to the drug trade in some form. Just shooting somebody for community action seems crazy unless they were suspected of being a CI.

I know nothing about this particular guy, but I do know that every single one of the “community activists” that are always on the Louisville news channels are nothing but shady, race baiting grifters. Every single one.

Rumor is he is also the one who was video taping the road rage incident the other day were the fella was shot

38th and Arlington was a nasty place when I worked on that very corner 35 years ago. My boss came outside and found someone halfway through stealing the wheels off his jeep. I can only imagine how much worse it is now. I think I’ll stick to the imagining part rather than go anywhere near there to see for myself.

Eskenazi has taken over the NE corner.
It's slightly better than what it was years ago.

Say it ain't so Tommy!!!
