Juts imagine what might happen if you know who loses .
Fatihma Ali ought to be picked up for sedition/inciting riots until at least after the election.
Yet another gun control success story.
A weird statement.
If five incidents is "a little out of control", then eight would be "totally out of control", and three would be "in control".
Is that how it works?
“In 2007, police said there were 1,239 shooting victims compared with 1,029 so far this year.”
Ok, Philly. You’ve got three and a half months to break the record! If Obama loses the election, that alone should be worth a minimum of 100 shootings.
Where are the libs on this? Why are they not crying get out, bad decision to send in the police?
Oh that’s right the libs run the city.
Today’s community agitators getting out the vote.
I’m locked and loaded here for just that problem.
I urge EVERYONE — and especially those of a whiter shade of pale — to be very cautious WHEN the Obamessiah loses.
Could get ugly...
U.S. out of Philadelphia!
"More bodies, more bodies, more bodies!"I know they'll come through. You will get the title, I can feel it.
ps: Don't forget to give it in Spanish too. After all, they are now the majority in Chi.
Philadelphia is a toilet. It has been run(run in to the ground) by Democrats. Rather than calling it a city it should be called a Democrat PLANTATION. This would reflect the slavish devotion the citizens have to its failed liberal Democrat masters.
We should pay the Sunni militia to move in to keep the violence down in Philly
May be a lack of diversity?
Where are the common sense laws to limit access to hooded sweatshirts?
Man, they sure took that loss to the Cowboys pretty hard.
I have already informed some of my customers that there will be NO GO ZONES for me until after the election dust is settled. Personally I have no problem taking down a charging band of the Mahdi’s finest, but the paperwork and hassle would be annoying to say the least. Plus I will not put my valuable and vulnerable male and female subcontractors into those places at that time. But do we know how long the Rage and Anger will last? The Hordes have been whipped up into a frenzy. There are places where you can’t park your car here now , with a McCain Palin sticker, and not expect a dozen key marks on the paint.How much so when “The One” has been voted down because of “racism”, instead of his hate America first and foremost platform ?
