The fatal shooting meant that the city had reached 300 killings more quickly in a single year than any since at least the 1970s. And it kept Philadelphia on pace to top not only last year’s 499 homicides, but also its all-time record of 500 slayings in a year, set in 1990.

Well at least Biden was able to come this town this week on behalf of voter's rights and condemn Trump's "big lie".. Maybe some time in the future he can address mass murder.

As for the rest of them, the gang bangers, good riddance.

That's what I was thinking. Philly taking a back seat to Chicago, as usual.

After reading about South Africa’s one-party, bankrupt, corrupt socialist welfare state, combined with, and contributing to, all the social and ethnic problems - I realize places like Chicago and Philadelphia are a lot more similar to South Africa than I ever realized.
