Eddie Brokenbough was struggling to make ends meet.
The 46-year-old, whom relatives described as a dedicated father of 10, experienced difficulties finding a good-paying job because, like many Philadelphians, he had a criminal record.

On Monday, Brokenbough was fatally shot while canvassing for the progressive group One PA by another canvasser from the same organization after the two men had an altercation.

One liberal murderers another liberal. How can that be considered “gun violence”. That’s culling the herd.

He shoulda worked for a conservative organization.
Oh, The other leftist woulda killed him anyway, but at least he would have been safe from his ‘own team’.

The victim wasn’t supposed to be carrying a gun.

"The victim wasn’t supposed to be carrying a gun." Yeah, Legally... But on the other hand, would you walk the mean streets of Philadelphia unarmed? Especially the "underinvested neighborhoods" described by the article?
To: ameribbean expat
The shooter has to be a white leftist.
