Lewiston, Maine faces youth gun violence as police cite stolen…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPolice in Lewiston, Maine, believe some kids as young as thirteen have been stealing firearms, according to the department's youth coordinator, Corey Jacques.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWith us is Marguerite Slocombe, an abundance coach at the Open Palm Institute. Marguerite, you've said this is a manifestation issue. Why?

3. MS

   Marguerite SlocombeBecause a community gets what it focuses on, and I'm holding that lightly. Lewiston is focusing on guns, so guns are showing up.

4. MS

   Marguerite SlocombeI just struck my singing bowl, and I can feel it.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut the guns are being stolen. Somebody owned them first. Who left them where a thirteen-year-old could get them?

6. MS

   Marguerite SlocombeNo one left anything. The guns heard the kids' energy, and the owners were just standing there when it happened.

7. MS

   Marguerite SlocombeIt's the same way a parking spot opens up for me.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCalled them. City officials say about sixty-three percent of the gun incidents in the first six months of this year involved juveniles.

9. MS

   Marguerite SlocombeWhich proves it.

10. MS

    Marguerite SlocombeSixty-three percent is a number with a lot of intention in it, and I'm holding that lightly, but I will say it is definitely the kids' fault.

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou said lightly and then you were completely sure. Are the people whose guns got stolen just supposed to hold them more lightly too?

12. MS

    Marguerite SlocombeWell, a lock helps. I teach it in week four. Weeks one through three are about not needing one.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd score that a two out of ten for the course.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree hundred dollars for the course, and the lock is nineteen at the hardware store.
