Don’t Look Now, But Philly’s Homicide Count Just Broke a Record

If you feel like things in Philly seem more violent than usual, trust that feeling, because it’s backed up by hard data.

As of 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday night, the Philadelphia homicide count for 2020 was up 32 percent over where it was the same day last year. So far this year, Philly has seen 247 homicides when we were at 187 this time last year. In fact, 247 homicides is one homicide more than all of the homicides for the entirety of 2013, when the city saw 246 killings. Think about that for a second.

It seems like the more white progressives say black live matter the more black bodies pile up.

The party of the KKK and Jim Crow figured out a new way to kill blacks: Defund the police.

Marxist Democrat urban areas will become surreal 21st century ghost towns. Residential, commercial real estate and populations are declining daily. Soon they will be haunted mostly by the strange and deranged. Street cops don’t even want to accompany the coroners to pick up the bodies much less perform active policing or peacekeeping.

Denver and some near suburbs are setting records too. This lockdown is making people crazy. Thanks, Dr. Faustus!

What is really sad is it seems to BLM and the media black lives only matter if a white person kills them. Of course, that's a very small percentage of the black body count.

Thanks for doing the math for me. That was a tough one.

I sometimes think that’s the endgame. First Obama moved section-8 housing out to the suburbs, but that wasn’t spread the D message fast enough. The best and most reliable way to make more of the suburbs vote D is to literally chase D voters out of the cities. If they’re ghost towns full of gang bangers killing each other, they’ll still vote D, but now the suburbs will be voting that way, too.

Then people will have to move to the moon to escape liberal policies. Then Mars...Then Alpha Centauri. Hey, I’m onto something. Liberals are the whip which cracks at the back of human civilization. :)

You gotta pay the rent. Wherever you live. Burbs are more expensive

Rent does more to shape an area as anything

And types of places to rent. Houses vs apt
