'It’s A War Zone’: Violent Weekend In Philadelphia Claims Six Lives With No Indication Of Violence Slowing Down In 2020
CBS News Philadelphia ^ | 01/13/2020 | staff

It has been a violent start to 2020 in Philadelphia after a number of people were killed in separate incidents over the weekend. This latest rash of violence follows a year where Philadelphia had its highest homicide rate since 2007.

“It’s a war zone,” a Philadelphia man said.

Six homicides, five shootings and a stabbing near Luke Lobster’s in Center City by Rittenhouse Square summarized a summer-esque weekend. So far in 2020, 13 people have been killed and it’s only Jan. 12.

If this weekend is any indication, the violence shows no signs of slowing down in 2020.

What went wrong? The Soros toadie DA said cashless bail and other progressive policies would reduce crime.

When these “woke” prosecutors release a felon without bail and put him on the street, street justice prevails and statistically a good percentage of the felons go to the morgue and not court. When a felon is jailed upon arrest, the cops rarely know the whole story of what went down and there may be much unfinished business. People are not separated or allowed to cool off.

My little town, which didn’t make the news, hasn’t had a shooting since I don’t know when.

City of Brother Love no longer....

song

Motherly Love
Frank Zappa (1966)

Motherly love
Motherly love
Forget about
The brotherly and other-ly love
Motherly love
Is just the thing for you
You know your Mothers’ gonna love ya
Till ya don’t know what to do

Easton, PA had 2 shootings this weekend. One was a full auto driveby in a residential area. A friend of mine caught the audio on her front porch camera. Nice part of town, big Victorians.

Easton is also run by liberals. Like a little Philly. Home to LaFayette college and the Crayola crayon factory.
