Honk if you hate violence
Two girls found an unusual way to honor Anthony Titus and fight back against the violence that has taken several of their friends this year.

Sierra O’Connor, 16, and Destiny White, 13, went to the corner of Dowling and Fremont Avenues N. to honor their friend, Anthony Titus, 16, who was gunned down July 4. O’Connor gave a hug to Jermaine Jackson, 13, who was there with a group of his friends. David Joles, Star Tribune
Two teenage girls stood at a Minneapolis street corner waving to cars, hoping one more driver would take them seriously.
"Honk for Phat Phat!" they yelled.
A driver waiting at a red light rolled down her window. "Who?" she asked.
"Anthony Titus," one of the girls said, and the driver nodded at the name of the 16-year-old who had recently been shot to death in Minneapolis. She tapped her horn once.
The girls smiled, then shouted "Flocka," Titus' favorite word, a sort of one-word memorial.
