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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.
