A Chicago pastor is determined show youth troubled that violence will not be tolerated and there are positive forces in their community following the devastating"Teen Takeover" that generated national headlines two weeks ago. Hundreds of teens a few weeks ago smashed car windows, attack residents and disrupt the flow of traffic in, according to a previous Fox News report. Now, Apostolic Faith Church pastor Bishop Horace Smith is on a mission to bring men together to show troubled youth they must go down the right path. Last weekend, he invited 500 Black men to march with him in the city in an act of unity against mass violence.
"The march by the pastors from across this city is simply to say to them, 'Look, we are your fathers, we are your brothers. We are you when we were your age and violence will not be condoned’," Smith told"" on Friday. "‘However, we understand what's going on, and we stand as a positive force, an ongoing force and a solution to what's been going on, and we want to give you the right message and the right motive for what you're doing.
"In two or three days we galvanized hundreds of Black men that would march with us because...these young people need to see a positive role model saying to them, 'We stand with you, but we will not tolerate violence’," he said.
