Spruce and 60th be a bad neighborhood.

Go to Google Maps and drop the little man there to see for yourself.

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air’

It’s on Dom Giordano’s show now, terrorists confesses to doing in the name of Islam. And our damn governor won’t even fight Syrian refugees and damn Congress just funded it.

” a motive for the shooting.”

you shoot someone multiple times and you morons are looking for motive? How about you walk past motive and just execute the shooter?

“in the name of islam...” This is a blatant lie. Aren’t all moozlums peace-loving, mainly wanting to work hard and get along? Open your houses to your new moozlum friends. If they desire, allow them to molest your wife and children. We must be understanding sand flexible.

The Fresh Prince was right.

West Philly is a dangerous place. I would have sent my kid to Bel Air too.

I caught the tail end of it but they were talking about a cop shot multiple times for no reason, has to be same guy. What’s odd is that Dom was referring to a report on this and I don’t see it on the news.

I’ll try and research this a bit.

The media might not want to push this one.

I lived in West Philly for a while... I would at times fall asleep when riding the El and wake up at the end of the line and walk my way from 59th & Market to 21st and Baltimore... Lovely
