Leave Out Violence

The LOVE organization was founded, in Montreal,  by Twinkle (Sheila) Rudberg whose husband Daniel was killed by a fourteen-year-old gang member on the streets of downtown Montreal.  Daniel had gone to the aid of an elderly woman who was being assaulted when the teen stabbed him to death. During the youth's trial Twinkle learned that the young perpetrator's life had consisted of being in gangs, taking drugs and spending hours watching violent movies.  She began to see him as a victim of violence as well.
