Philadelphia has been hitting these grim milestones at a rate quicker than last year as in July 2021, when the city surpassed 300 homicides, it was sooner than the previous year. At that time, homicides were up more than 30% over the homicide rates recorded in 2019.

In a statement, Mayor Kenny said he is "heartbroken over the loss of 400 souls to gun violence." He says next week the city will announce community organizations that will receive city funding to expand gun violence prevention.

The mayor is "heartbroken".
The chief of police is still "committed to ensuring the safety of all residents."
The DA is "outraged" and denounced the "gun violence".

It is hard to imagine why the bodies keep piling up when the progressives are so engaged and outraged.

Not all would be from gun violence.

[Spok]

Calling it “gun violence” exonerates the culpable and guarantees nothing constructive will be accomplished. What’s that definition of insanity again?

[albie]

Need to see the black on black numbers. Probably 95%.

[cockroach_magoo]

Well I’m flabbergasted and crestfallen.

Now that I’ve said that, there should be no more murders in Philadelphia. Isn’t that’s how it works?

So far Chicago checking in with 597 . . .

Would it make them feel any better if they were pushed out of windows?

[1956tbyrd]

Damn white supremacists.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Cool beans! Holder's people workin' overtime.

[Vaduz]

Philadelphia wishing for the good old days when all they had to worry about was the Mafia.

[EvilCapitalist]

It’s all those descendants of the founding fathers hanging around Independence Hall doing the shooting. /sarc

[boomop1]

Now they have Soros funded DA.

[frank ballenger]

See? It’s not the people responsible, it is “gun violence” so take away other people’s guns.

BS

[Newbomb Turk]

The city of freedom and the liberty bell.

Democratic run $hit hole.

[gundog]

How do we arrive at the number of those that didn’t deserve to be shot? Divide by three? Four?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Makes Philly look like Disneyland . . .

>>>Philadelphia wishing for the good old days when all they had to worry about was the Mafia.<<<

Somehow I feel thinks were much safer in Philly when the Mafia was in control of things.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

It is so ironic that the name Philadelphia is Greek for "City of Brotherly Love". Those Quakers could talk the talk, but they couldn't get anyone to walk the walk.
