Two people are dead and nine others, including six teenagers, are injured following a mass shooting at a Memorial Day gathering in Fairmount Park. ---SNIP--- "This was wartime ammunition that was just opened on Philadelphians and those who were here in our city," she continued.

Bethel continued, after chilling audio from the grisly scene was played, "That's the sound of war. So when you have an automatic weapon that you can empty a magazine, a 20-clip magazine in seconds, it is meant to kill, to create carnage and to hit as many people as possible. And in this case, you see, it was able to do that."

[Antoninus]

Impossible. Such firearms are illegal in Philly.

“So when you have an automatic weapon that you can empty a magazine, a 20-clip magazine in seconds, it is meant to kill, to create carnage and to hit as many people as possible.”

A modest correction: “So when you USE an automatic weapon that you can empty a magazine, a 20-round magazine in seconds, YOU mean to kill, to create carnage and to hit as many people as possible.

It’s the shooter, not the weapon.

I guess the nickname of Kill-adelphia is well earned.

The mayor seems to overlook the fact that this is black-on-black crime -and fail t say what she plans to do about it.

Another day in a Dem craphole city....

Was this an actual automatic weapon, or just the usual confusion with semi auto?

Liberals: “Come on, it’s no big thing. Happens all the time. Not news. They are only negroes.”

My mother, born in 1926, daughter of German immigrants, took horseback riding lessons in Fairmount park in the 1930’s.
My great grandfather and his brother, Italian immigrant stone masons worked
on many of the bridges in and around the park.
Sickening.
All cultures are not equal

Also a mall shooting in Connecticut today?

Glock Switch. Every wannabe gangsta has one these days, even "teens".

[rktman]

Wartime ammunition...... ZERO credibility past that comment. Fooki’ idjits!

[Steve_Seattle]

The focus is on the weapon, so does that mean that the perps were of a certain ethnicity?

[Alas Babylon!]

"Usual [lying-liberal] confusion for 100. . ."

Here is the sheriff.

How It's Going

[smokingfrog]

Probably a Glock with a “switch” which also makes it illegal to possess in the first place..

[Bonemaker]

So what...they just reelected Krassner. Scum will skate.

[Bonemaker]

Glock switch?

“...This was wartime ammunition..”

Aha, Geneva Convention compliant! Hard ball. Be thankful they didn’t use hollow points!
