More bad news.
The guns aren’t violent. Some of the people wielding them are.
And most of them have at least one trait in common, as do most of the people who run the city.
(And it isn’t love of what the Liberty Bell stands for and The legacy of Benjamin Franklin.....I’ll leave you to figure out what that main trait is.)
The rate dipped in 2013-2014 and has slowly risen back to around 23. Thus, it is better than during the 1989-1997 period but it has been rising the past few years.
Philadelphia has had people of all sorts of colors, shapes and sizes forever. So why are things worsening just over the past few years? The explanation I read that makes the most sense is the heroin and the opioid epidemic and related gang violence. This isn't a gun problem.
The really old history books had the whole state of Michigan listed as a ‘fever swamp’ to be avoided at all costs.
When the elite push the notion that all cultures are equally good and valid, you just have to accept that certain cultures that promote violence are just another equally good and valid way of life. So what’s the problem?
We Verlaine percent of the population that is minority, on welfare, arrest rates .. independent impacts but they add up.
Fever swamp....
Too late. I can’t escape.
One U of Michigan book mentioned moose would walk across campus on any given day. 1920s I think. Northern Michigan U. I could believe now.
A leftist asking a question everyone else (except other leftists) already know the answer to.

A 16 year old is 63 - 67 trimesters of age. There are options.
Those darn guns walking the streets shooting people again? Gun violence or human violence? Why are liberals too damned stupid to know the difference? Because there is power in being against guns, no future in calling out their own when human violence erupts.
3 reasons: street gangs, street gangs and ... street gangs.
If the street gangs assumed room temperature one fine day crime rates would plummet overnight.
If there was a Bounty on Known Gang Members, all this crap would end overnight.
Because the people are the problem, not the guns.
Because the city is run and ruined by stupid/leftist Democrats who handicap the police, fail to help ICE get illegal aliens off the streets and out of the country, who believe that all cops are white racists, that drugs do no harm to their users, that Uncle Sam “pork barrel” money will continue to flow to their failed, corrupt inner-city projects and bloated salaried administrators, and that the poor people just love being used for target practice and piggy banks through killing drugs.
Other than that, Philly is a great city to live in if you are a rich white or black liberal who doesn’t have to live in the “hood”. I did when I was in college there. I saw the poverty and crime. Nothing has changed except the corrupt and incompetent Democrats and Marxists who run things.
#6. Re “There were drunks and drug addicts passed out on the sidewalks everywhere”.
AND they were just the city officials!!!
Black thugs in London, England use brass knuckles to rob white boy of his PANTS, right there on the street:

Enoch Powell was right:
share commonsense solutions.
Rudy Giuliani turned NYC around by empowering police to stop, question and search the elements of society that committed criminal acts in the neighborhoods where they live and cause problems. That worked.
Call it what it REALLY is .
