Freedom Park Boxing Center Getting Closer to Opening Day

Posted: at 2:44 am

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Inside the gymnasium at Freedom Park Community Center, the basketball goals are gone.

A brand new floor has been installed. There are new bleachers--the kind that roll away when you're done with them, or roll out for big events like boxing tournaments, set to happen here in the near future.

"When we look at Freedom Park and turn that into a boxing/conditioning facility, we expect people not just from the Freedom area to go to that facility, we expect them from all of the middle Georgia area," says Dale "Doc" Dougherty, director of Macon-Bibb Parks and Recreation. "(People) throughout Bibb County and maybe beyond will come into the Freedom Park location."

Over the next few months, workers will install several boxing rings inside the gym--two for competition, Dougherty says, and two for training.

The room next to it will serve as an exclusive training room, complete with plenty of punching bags hanging by chains from the ceiling.

And what's a good boxer without a little conditioning?

One of the things that made Freedom Park ideal for this center is the sidewalk around Freedom Park Lake. Dougherty says its easy access to the building will allow for pre-workout runs and jogs. The center will also serve as a fitness facility for kids of all ages.

"...where literally parents three days a week can drop their kids off for an hour or an hour and a half and know when they pick them up, they're going to be good and tired but they're also going to be getting in shape," he says.

The new look Freedom Park is just the first step in the parks and recreation department's vision for the future.

"We're also looking at the education side with robotics at one of our centers," Dougherty says. "Creating a full STEM program for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics for one of our centers. We're also looking at cultural arts--turning one of our centers into a theater as well as dance and just general drama classes."

Chicago hope: A welcome gun ruling affirms the Second Amendment

Posted: at 2:42 am

Published: Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014, 9:00p.m. Updated 6 hours ago

Ruling that Chicago's ban on licensed retail gun shops and private firearms transfers is unconstitutional, a federal judge has dealt a stinging, much-needed rebuke to an overreaching city government.

U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang stayed his decision to give Chicago which last year led U.S. cities in homicides time to mull an appeal. But there's no appealing the Second Amendment, which he cited in ruling that Chicago's duty to protect its citizens' safety is outweighed by its obligation to protect their constitutional rights.

It's not the first time that a court has curbed Chicago or Illinois gun-grabbing. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the city's gun ban in 2010. A federal appellate court forced Illinois last holdout among the states to finally allow concealed carry permits last year.

After a federal appellate court struck down the city's gun-range ban in 2012, Chicago used zoning and other regulatory measures to make it difficult for such law-abiding firearms businesses, according to the Chicago Tribune. Besides possibly appealing this latest ruling, the city might try such tactics again.

If it does, Chicago will confirm its anti-gun attitude's underlying tendency: wrongly blaming legal guns, legal firearms businesses and law-abiding gun owners for gun-related violent crime. The latter two should be thankful that this judge and others stand ready to uphold their Second Amendment rights.
