“This weekend’s horrific violence is a stark reminder that COVID-19 isn’t the only crisis plaguing our city," Kenney said "Gun violence continues to traumatize our communities and cut Philadelphians lives tragically short." The mayor highlighted the tragic death of a 6-year-old boy in Holmesburg who was fatally shot in the chest on Sunday afternoon.

It’s not gun violence, it’s black violence.

And they will say that rural and suburban gun owners are to blame for the “gun violence” in the inner city.

Is he willing to call out all the black on black shootings in his city, or would that be racist? Is he willing to call out all of the youth gangs which plague Philadelphia, or would that be racist?

Are you kidding? We’re not going to get this sorted out until we get gender-studies professionals on the ground! ;-)

Well there’s a couple conclusions we can all draw from this:

1. There won’t be one protest about this body count
2. They are killing themselves off way faster than any fantasy KKK/Supremacy Group could
3. I bet most will still vote this November

IT’S TIME TO BRING IN THE MILITARY. I KNOW THERE WILL BE A BACKLASH BUT THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT SURVIVE IF THE WAR AGAINST AMERICA IS NOT STOPPED (NOW).

Conservatives point out it all perpetrators as well as victims were black. Lefties point out guns were doing the killing. Compromise solution: Prohibit by law urban blacks from owning guns. 14th amendment you ask. Consider the law a firm of affirmative action to keep black victims alive.

I think that’s what they want. The old hippies running the show would love a Kent State moment. Trump needs to let the mayors and governors deal with these events, and let them suffer the consequences of their actions, or lack thereof.
