Newark Cannot Overcome Ironic Violence

Newark Cannot Overcome Ironic ViolenceThe "Stop Shootin Music Toy Gun Exchange" today in crime-riddled Newark, New Jersey—which allowed kids to turn in toy guns in exchange for a nonviolent toy or book—went off without a hitch, except for the gunfire that erupted a few blocks away while the event was going on, thanks to a man "accidentally shooting and injuring himself."

Newark.
