Data collected by Action News shows shootings in the city of Philadelphia have surged since the end of May, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

On Monday night, Philadelphia police said two 15-year-olds were shot, one suffered at least 15 gunshot wounds. The teens, who are expected to survive, are just two of the dozens of shooting victims this year.

Data shows that 117 people have been shot in Philadelphia since June 1, or for the past three weeks.

Since the year began, nearly 800 people have been shot in the city, that's a 24% increase from the year before.

Really bad shots and thankfully nobody told them about hollow points.

The only thing worse than dying from 15 gunshot wounds
is surviving 15 gunshot wounds.

That kid is not going to have a pleasant life ahead.

The Philadelphia DA is a devout communist who has been releasing criminals and refusing to prosecute others.

He is another Soros DA installed to help foment the revolution.

Wood wished the Black Lives Matter movement would take a stand in the rising gun violence.

TRUE...

BUT

‘We’ should be rooting for better shots....MAINLY because “WE” will get stuck paying his years of rehab etc.

Remember the old theory on POWs

In the height of battle, POWs are a major problem, whether you feed or clothe them you still need ‘manpower’ to ensure they don’t escape and come back and fight you again.

So, in many cases, at least logistically, POWs are something you may want to ‘avoid’.

Remember the furor over the Cage movie ‘Code Talker(?)’ how the snowflakes got their panties in an uproar when they were told or finally figured out that the main job of Cage - as a bodyguard - was to ‘eliminate’ him rather than allow him to be captured.?

Poor morons who live in America. They love all this chaos. They believe that the left is all about anarchy, turn the criminals loose. Once the left gains the total control they lust after, it will be a new game.

Commit a crime in a communist paradise, and you simply disappear. Rights?! You don’t have no stinkin’ rights.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Didn’t Philadelphia ‘STEAL?’ that tough, law and order, sweep the streets Chief of Police from Portland OR?

Look around and check out who a lot of Mayors, Chiefs etc are in Major Cities.

Coincidence that so many TOP JOBS are filled by Oppressed Women and Women of Color?

Hear any MSM outlet etc and you would think the ONLY job us Straight, White Males have is to ride herd on and crush Females of ANY sex or ethnicity.

Little do they realize that a great portion of the funding of these so called ‘projects’ is from US.
What happens when we just sit back and say

GO AHEAD, IT IS ALL YOURS......

They mean shootings but they prefer blaming the problem on guns.

Comprehensive policing and peacekeeping techniques are known to stop gun violence. It requires aggressive patrolling, informants, arrests on unrelated crimes and keeping bad guys especially gang members in jail while awaiting trial ,conviction and imprisonment. None of this is happening in Democrat controlled urban areas. Democrat politicians, their lackeys and elected Democrat DAs won’t enforce the law or support the police. No white cop in his right mind will investigate or try to prevent crimes. They do not even want to go into these areas to accompany coroners to collect bodies or ambulances to get the wounded. Who can blame them?
