The COVID-19 lockdowns in Philadelphia triggered a surge in gun violence in the city during the pandemic — and worsened poverty, unemployment, and racism, a new research study found.
The study was conducted by researchers at Temple University, and published by JAMA Network, was led by Dr. Jessica Beard, assistant professor of surgery and director of trauma research at Lewis Katz School of Medicine.
"It was in March actually that we saw a significant and sustained increase, nearly double of our violence in the City of Philadelphia," Beard told Philadelphia's ABC affiliate.

I link them to black males.
Women, children, minorities hardest hit.
Yea ok
Raised by single mothers
It must be the Amish coming in from Lancaster...
Unemployed, locked down and no jobs available. If there was some hope on the horizon instead of Dr. Falsey with his Doom and Gloom prediction and Pres. Bitem killing jobs, just what hope do they have?
LOL. The universal all-purpose excuse! Racism!
I switched jobs during the lockdown, and was unemployed for a time.
Guess how many people I shot?

I'm guessing 4 or 5. It's hard to say without knowing how close to a shopping mall or indoor sports arena you are.

Two of the top 5 years were during the lowest Black unemployment ever. I’m sure lockdowns and unemployment don’t help, but I’m so tired of excuses for 2% of the population. (black males 14-35)
Summer of BLM did far - FAR more destruction and then you pulled the cops back and freed the violent criminals from prisons.
What did you communist scum expect?
You are NOT taking our guns.
17, but since I’m White, I got away with it.
Who da’ thunk that a side-effect of the virus would cause innocent young people to turn into gun-wielding perps, intent on committing violence.
I raised my two sons alone, and they didn't turn out to be animals. Oh wait, we're evil white people. Never mind.
You got lucky. I went to a movie cinema to watch Peter Pan on the big screen and management called the cops on me to have me charged with attempted murder because I didn't clap my hands and say "I believe in fairies" in the Tinkerbell scene. A good lawyer got me off though.
You need to work on your “woke” skills.
Also, instead of clapping, you should snap instead.
