Flashpoint: When domestic violence turns deadly, General Rezzy & stop violence tour and Liberty Museum young hero

Host and KYW community affairs reporter Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions about intimate partners abuse following the recent murder suicide of beloved City Hall staffer Linda Rios Neuby. In America, half of all homicides of women were committed by an intimate partner. However, most of those relationships started out loving. So when does love become abuse? Jeannine Lisistski, executive director of Women Against Abuse joins Tony Lapp, Co-Director of Menergy and Bill Muth, a member of the Board of The Men's Resource Center who has participated in intervention programs. The panel takes a deep dive into the minds and understanding of those most likely to abuse and examine the culture that supports it. If you believe you are in danger while in an intimate relationship contact the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-866-723-3014. The Newsmaker of the week is Averill J. Davenport AKA General Rezzy. He was slated to perform in the "Stop the Violence Tour" but was shot during a drive by on August 8th. The 32 year old rapper, as well as 34-yera-old Neisha Cooper died in the incident, four others were injured. More than 800 have been injured and more than 140 have been killed in shootings in Philadelphia this year. Quality Promotions' Chris Jones and rapper Ronny Alright discuss the tour, which begins in Philadelphia the weekend of August 25 and is going regional at area colleges. Finally, the Changemaker of the week is rising U-Penn freshman Morgan Bacon. The Masterman grad saw a problem in Philadelphia Schools-- the lack of fresh water- and went to city council and presented a solution. The future nurse was honored alongside 13 other youth with the Young Heroes Award at the Liberty Museum this month. Flashpoint airs every Saturday at 9:30pm and Sunday at 8:30am on KYW Newsradio.
