Philadelphias new police chief has a challenging agenda ahead that includes addressing the citys rising homicide rate. Two shooting deaths Tuesday make 2019 the citys deadliest year in a decade. Police say one man was fatally shot near Temple University Hospital and another in the Hunting Park section. Police have tallied 355 slayings this year, two more than 2018. But those figures are higher than the approximately 250 to 275 homicides the city posted annually from 2013 to 2016.

This is what I have been saying. We really dont need to do anything to destroy the libtards. Their incompetence will do the job for us.

Who cares? Expect more of the same under a new Philly police chief named Outlaw.

"Philadelphia murder toll reaches 355 for year"
Yet has gotten virtually no MSM attention. But the highly-publicized "mass shootings" during the year - all added together - probably involved about 40 or 50 deaths.
To: Kid Shelleen
Just by way of reference, during the Dinkins administration, NYC had more than 2,000 homicides per year.

Black on black killings are normal. Ferals offing each other is natural selection at work.
Not sure why its in societys interests to stop it.

On the positive side, they probably all voted Democrat.
To: kaehurowing
Think of it this way: 355 fewer Democrat voters around in Philly this year.
A tiny drop in the bucket of a city that routinely votes more than 90% Democrat.

Why
Black Lives Matters isn't outraged by this is a true curiosity.
Unless their agenda is other than what they say it is...

it’s just gonna get worse, MUCH worse, in 2020 now that Soros has elected pro-criminal D.A. Larry Krasner, who has already announced he won’t prosecute most crimes and that most criminals who WILL be prosecuted will not be jailed while awaiting trial ...

Only blacks killed by white cops agitate them. The rest of the time, its a non issue.
Someone should sue Black Lives Matters for false advertising.
Not all black lives matter.

Philadelphia has the DA it wanted. Why I should I care about their quality of life or the lack of it? They dont seem to give a damn about it.

Gee, San Diego has roughly the same population (1.5 million appprx) and they could only eeck out 35 or so murders.
What is wrong in Philadelphia?

= = = = = = = = = = =
Probably means 710 MORE D votes, when ‘they’ know the actual won’t show, doesn’t mean they can’t vote once write in and once in person.
Hasn’t PhilaPA had 110% of the precint vote (regardless of registered or not or age), not even a HO HUM, just put some more ‘ward protectors’ out with batons with very little reaction to the pics...
