Bush’s fault!

Didnt you hear Governor Eddie Rendell last week? Its the guns..we have to get rid of the guns.

It has nothing to do with a crook of a mayor who is more interested in lining his own pockets and that of his familiy than the welfare of the city.

Quagmire. Pull out now!

There is no plan to win the war in Philadelphia triangle.

Streets lied, people died.

From your link: Commish: I need 10,000 black men

Very interesting article.

The sitting police commissioner is asking the tools (err, I mean) citizens of Philly to get off the plantation and stand up for their city and clean the cesspool up. I would say that he is pretty much admitting the criminal element is running the show in these ethnic areas.

I wonder how well "conflict resolution" works against a gang banger with a 9mm and a attitude

Probably not very well.............

At 15 years old, your aren’t a child innocently “playing” with a gun, playing Russian roulette maybe.

Police knew of no and had no suspects.

It all depends on what the meaning of the word "no" isn't.

Just to keep things in perspective Philly had 406 murders last year.

Philly had 432 murders in 1995.

Philly was forced to accept to Pa.'s right to law in 1995 and rather late in the year IIRC. Anyway, Philly's murder rate started dropping as you see by the chart in the last link.

Just a coincidence I'm sure.

Some third-world cities are more inviting than Philly at night.

I was stuck at night in Philly years ago. I’m big and I wasn’t dressed very nice.

Every person I came up to in the street to ask for directions ran away. One guy was on a bike and almost got hit by traffic to get away.

I’m grateful that I’m in the safe haven of Baghdad instead of being in that war zone, Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, Philly's homosexual city solicitor (that's really his title) Romulo Diaz wants to drive the Boy Scouts out of Philly because they won't accept deviates as scout masters.

The retail surge is working.

However, I'm not joining the ranks until it's dire.

ARM THE PHILLY BOY SCOUTS!

/WHAT sarcasm?

[Syncro]

Yea ain’t it interesting that a lot of our Troops feel safer in Baghdad than they would in many of our democrat-party controlled cities?

Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson is joining with civic leaders in an effort to recruit 10,000 black men to fight crime in Philadelphia’s toughest neighborhoods.

This might have helped but the first 5,000 black men called to protect the streets killed the second 5,000 black men in black on black violence. Guns dont kill black men. Black men kill black men.
