---SNIP--- The gun violence has helped fuel the city’s skyrocketing homicide tally, making it all but certain that Philadelphia this year will record at least 400 murders for the first time since 2006 — even as overall violent crime, which also includes rapes, aggravated assaults, and robberies, has continued to decline amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The trend comes as other big cities, including New York and Chicago, have also experienced upticks in violence during a summer of national unrest and anxiety, with the pandemic causing health and economic devastation, and several police shootings and killings of Black people sparking a widespread reckoning over racial inequality.

Oh. Wait.
“Are they shooting bad people? Cause that should work out eventually.”
Gun use and gun owners are mostly peaceful, so what’s the big deal?
Those aren’t Quakers or descendants of Ben Franklin being gunned down there Ben.
Americans will never hear that on TV. But the supposed solution is Beto O'Rourke saying coming for your guns. Which Kamala Harris broadly supported.
Dem debate:
Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore," said O'Rourke, a former congressman from El Paso, Texas, who has re-created his presidential campaign around the issue of gun control after a mass shooting last month in his hometown. O'Rourke is one of three Democrats, along with Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey to support mandatory buybacks for certain guns."

What the Liberals really want is a return to the Jim Crow Laws in which a black person was forbidden to even touch a firearm. They just won’t come out and say it.
It’s not gun violence, it’s black violence.
Beano O’Rourke...
A punk rocker who fantasized about running over little kids, and enjoying their screams of pain.
And he wants to take your guns. So he can use them against you?
It’s called ‘gun violence’ IF the killer is a democrat member of a protected victim group.
It’s called ‘murder’ when the the death is caused by a person who’s NOT a member of a democrat victim group.
These high tech guns are loose and shooting humans—”gun violence”....they need to find those guns and put them in jail!
Defund the police and confiscate guns - what a recipe for societal peace and tranquility!!
Normal, law abiding people of all backgrounds and races know what you say to be true. However, there’s way too much power and money involved in racial pimping. There’s too much to be gained from affirmative action and the like.
It will never go away until black people get rid of their race pimps and agree to play on a level playing field.
In other words, it ain’t never going to happen!
There are harsh truths. These truths cannot be acknowledged, because it would mean either accepting things won’t change, and will get worse, OR taking actions that would be unacceptable.
Pssst.... Philly... it, umm, ain’t the guns... ... it’s some of the “people” who live there... they ain’t real civilized.
Just sayin’.
Defunding police AND confiscating guns will result in what democrats REALLY want... And I can assure you what democrats want is it's NOT peace and tranquility...
Take away the police and who’s going to confiscate the guns?
Federal agents? They might as well be wearing blue helmets.
U.S. forces? That’s already illegal.
But what there will be is a national snitch hotline: rat out your gun owning neighbor! But that could have a downside, too. Snitches wind up in ditches if you get my drift.
CWII will not be the 55th Ohio Regt versus the 45th Alabama Regt. That war will seem genteel in comparison.
The Color of Crime:
• Black males age 18-35 years of age are only 1.8% of the U.S. population, yet have committed 52% of homicides from 1980-2008. Black males (all ages) are only 6% of the U.S. population, yet commit 46% of all violent crimes, and 50% of the gun homicides. If Blacks were removed from the equation, the U.S. gun homicide rate would be equal to Great Britain’s, who have some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the world.
• The Black homicide rate is 17 per 100,000, a rate over 9x that of the White rate, and comparable to some of those most murderous countries in the world. If the homicide rate for the U.S. were the White-only rate, the homicide rate would drop 84%, making the U.S. rate comparable to European countries.
• According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics 2018 survey of criminal victimization, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations (excluding homicide) between Blacks and Whites last year, including White-on-Black and Black-on-White attacks. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and Whites committed 56,394 of them, or less than 10 percent.
• Blacks constitute 13% of the U.S. population, but represent 27% of all criminal activity in the U.S.
• According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting for 2018, of the homicide victims for whom race was known, 53.3% were Black, 43.8% were White and 2.8% were of other races. In cases where the race of the offender was known, 54.9% were Black, 42.4% were White, and 2.7% were of other races.
• Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent. This means that a Black is 27 times more likely to attack a White person than vice versa.
• For each one standard deviation increase in proportion of Black population, firearm homicide rate is increased by 82.8%. Therefore, the U.S. has a Black problem, not a gun or violent crime problem. When Blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-Blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
• 40% of gun crime occurs in just three cities: 596 (10%) - St Louis, MO, 53 (11%) - Detroit, MI, and 1,527 (27%) - Chicago, IL.
• Murder is the leading cause of death for Black men, ages 15 to 34. Their murderers are other Black men 93 percent of the time.
• Black males between 16-35 years of age are only 2.0% of the population, yet commit 72% of the street crime in America.
• The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is Black.
• If New York City were all White, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent. In an all-White Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.
• Every year, approximately 6,000 blacks are murdered. This is a number greater than white and Hispanic homicide victims combined, even though blacks are only 12 percent of the national population. Blacks of all ages are killed at six times the rate of whites and Hispanics combined. That black death-by-homicide rate is a function of the black crime rate. The national rate of homicides committed by blacks is eight times that of whites and Hispanics combined. Black males between the ages of 14 and 17 commit homicide at 10 times the rate of white and Hispanic male teens combined.
• Homicide is not the only crime that is vastly racially disproportionate. New York City is representative of other crime spreading across the country. Blacks are 23 percent of New York’s population, but they commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime, according to the victims of, and witnesses to, those crimes. Whites are 33 percent of the New York City’s population, but they commit less than 2 percent of all shootings, 4 percent of all robberies, and 5 percent of all violent crime.
• The United States is third in murders throughout the world, but if you omit just five Black cities (Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, St Louis, and New Orleans) from the equation, then the United States is fourth from the bottom.
• Black serial killers have comprised over half of documented serial killers since the dawn of the 21st century at 56 percent, making up a total of 40 percent in years dating back to 1900. Blacks constituted 44% of the known serial killers during the 1995-2004 period and 38.2% of all multiple murderers (serial, mass, and spree combined) during 1976-1998 period. During the 2000-2010 decade, 62% of serial killers were Black.
