Good for Mayor Nutter. I’m in the burbs of Philly. Even more remarkable was that the local NAACP lead backed him up.
Give this Mayor credit for trying to ge a HANDLE on the problem.
I hope he actually means it!
If you are out of work, you have time to be home spending quality time with your young thug.
but say extra enforcement measures aren’t enough to deal with the complicated sociological problems that have fostered a culture of violence.
What would Jesus Christ say to this? Would He just dismiss their sin, mayhem, criminal behavior, murder, robbery, arson, theft, rape, hatred, and violence as "complicated sociological problems?"
Of course not.
"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
Galatians 6:7
Yeah, I saw this earlier today on Drudge. Right words only 30 years too late IMHO! No hope for the big cities in this country. The current residents will burn them to the ground in due time. If you are white and still live in one of these cesspools, RUN REALLY FAST!
Beautiful!
Courageous leadership. Mayors, man up.
A principled Black man of character DARES to tell the truth.
He is SO gonna get it from the race pimps like jessie jackson and al sharpton. Dr. William Cosby (a super-liberal) DARED to call out the Black Community for encouraging sloth and anti-intellectualism and the race pimps attacked him unmercifully!
Nutter talking to nuts trying to speak some logic into them... as if he had any!!!.
You can’t make this stuff up..
Your policies made them what they are, so you keep them. We don't want them.
Time to bring back the chain gang.
Flash mobs go to Church?
There were jobs, they wouldn't do them. Remember, that's why we have all those illegal immigrants. You know, the ones who cost the taxpayers billions every year.
While Nutter admitted that “99 percent” of Philadelphia teens are law-abiding kids, he said the other one percent are doing irreparable damage to their peers — and to their race. “Some of them have made chains on our wrists,” he said. “I am forced by the stupid, dumb, ignorant actions of a few to take actions tomorrow that will affect many.”
Bull sh!+. Take actions that affect those who cause the problems. Roundup these little punks, load them on some buses, and take them to work in the fields. Make them work there until they've repaid, by ten times over, the people they have damaged. No good comes from sending them to jail for a few days. Make them work.
Mayor Nutter really read the riot act. Good on him!
And even the NAACP backed him up.
Good, good, good.
Maybe he can be the next Giuliani, and since he’s black perhaps no one will call him a Nazi or a Musolini.
Perhaps the left will try and insult him anyway, probably call him an Uncle Ton.
But he sounds like a man who will stick to his guns.
Bravo Mayor, TELL THE TRUTH!
