It was a weekend of violence and mayhem - brutal even by Philadelphia standards. From Friday through Sunday, 32 people were wounded, six fatally, in about 20 shootings across the city, police said, and a seventh person died in a stabbing.

As you would expect, based on reading the article.

Yet the blacks there are the first to complain that there are too many blacks in prison. Turn them loose and they will come back home and the murder rate could double.

California is about to find out,when they cut loose 35,000 prisoners.Prisoners who will be turned loose with no skills, no jobs, and no jobs to be found. What will they do when they come home broke? California will soon find out.

The violence is completely out of control. The article mentions roving packs of what amounts to wild animals prowling the streets in groups of 40 or more assaulting people who just happen to be walking the street. I was struck by what one liberal victim who had her leg broke said. She wanted to thank the thug girls who surrounded her and kept her from being beaten further! Another guy showed off the sneaker imprint he had on his forehead. Urban life at it’s finest!

Meanwhile the Obama/Bush TSA is inspecting the soiled diapers of a wheelchair bound and dying 95 year old woman cancer victim, just in case she is a terrorist. These are symptoms of a dying and collapsing society. I think it may be too late to rescue this country.

Wait a minute! Just maybe...maybe the old woman was getting ready to plant her size 6 on the forehead of some TSA person. Better safe than sorry, I say.

No comments section, no need to read the article, they are all basically the same story over and over.

I think the country is finished. I don’t even think the Republicans should run candidates for any office AT ALL in 2012. Let the libs take over so they can be blamed when society collapses completely.

50+ years of uninterrupted liberal control of a large city.

I heard a fellow commenting on a radio talk show yesterday that Chicago is steadily losing businesses that are moving out because of the violence and out-of-control mayhem there. The cities do serve one important purpose; holding pens for the feral amongst the population.

I’m waiting for someone to go Goetz on one of these packs. All of the sudden, the moratorium on these stories on the national news outlets will end, but it will be all about the evil vigilante.

What I refer to as “Detroit on the Delaware” has had a death rattle for decades now. The middle class have been fleeing Philly only to be replaced by illegals, gays, and urban hipsters They've survived off of the generosity of the taxpayers of the Commonwealth for far too long. It's becoming very obvious that Mayor Nutter and his police chief are losing control and the situation is devolving into mayhem.
