Could it be the victims are more afraid of the thugs than the police?

How much crime goes on unreported in the area with nobody saying anything and then this killing happens?

Sad, but that's the neighborhood.

What a strange world. The mother is going to blame the courts instead of the killer.

She needs to cap that idiot.

Not surprising. The cops can't be everywhere at once, and witnesses will end up dead.

Of course they fear the thugs more than the police...the thugs make good on their threats. The police and the legal system are saddled by the sympathetic mindset that views these animals as misguided souls who can be rehabilitated.

Replace the witness stand with a water board.

"mindless senseless mayhem can and should not be tolerated."

Most wouldn't tolerate it. Seriously, no way. These people do, though. My days of feeling sorry for people are over. I see on television sometimes where people come from outside these neighborhoods, at their own peril, to film crimes becuase these people are too sorry to do anything themselves. It's just like Katrina. Sit on their lazy butts waiting for the government to do something and won't lift a finger to help out. SO egocentric and self-centered they won't even give over names to the cops so people keep dying. Cowards all of them.

Flame away.

Where's Al Sharpton (as Heather MacDonald might ask)?

New York isn't far away, and his absence is surprising. Why wouldn't someone so passionate about the violent death of a man of color want to get involved here, too?

I guess he's busy.

It's time to cut and run from these alleged neighborhoods. They hate the cops, they hate whitey, and they clearly loathe themselves. Fence 'em off and let 'em kill each other with bullets and AIDS.

So what's the time-table for pulling Americans out of Philadelphia?

It's a quagmire.

Hal Holbrook and the Crew from "Magnum Force" are needed for this sort of thing.

You have to think like a witness:

The kids dead, no sense in me gettin dead too.

Thats the way of it. It wont change until they get enough.

"On the witness stand, Newton gave a different account — as Felder, a burly felon with a five-page rap sheet, fixed his gaze on him."

Five pages. This animal should have been in jail for life before having a chance to kill the girl. Maybe it is the courts' fault the girl is dead, because this guy was out.
