I thought it could all be attributed to Philadelphia. This city has been (become) such a mess the last few years. Some murders don't even get a mention on the local news anymore.
Very recently, just before his graduation, a kid from Penn State went home to North Philadelphia for one day. Stuck for his wallt and shot in the head. They caught the perp with the kids ATM card still on him.
I am disgusted with what this city has become. Many of you know that a few months ago, a girl was to testify at a murder trial. A small child was killed in a shootout. As she was preparing to take the stand, her dad said to her "Remember what I told you, don't say anything." (Stop Snitchin', nice effect they're having.) As response, Lynn Abraham, the Philadelphia DA is seeking 10-20 for the girls dad. I wish they could lock up the punks who shot the kid.
I hate to be saying this, but if that kind of nonsense continues, we will have "death squads" operating within 20 years, to take care of problems that the legal system cannot.
