500+ is great but whites need to pull their weight.

Thanks - but I'll pass on the homocide tour of Chicago.

Things just haven't been the same since Camden, NJ got
bumped out of the number 1 spot - in murders per-capita.

Looks kinda like an urban Mogadishu, don't it?

The place (Camden) looked a lot better 54 years ago
(when I was 3 years old) and my parents said:

"You know, this place is going downhill - let's sell this
house (which they did (at a loss) and move to
the rural suburbs and buy a 3 bedroom,1 1/2 bath, 1 car garage
with full basement rancher on 3/4 acre backing up
to school-owned woods rancher that will appreciate by
1400% over the next 50 years. So our sons can grow up in
the affluent suburbs among decent folks."

And they DID that. Thank God.

I grew up across Route 73 from the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
A MUCH better place...

LBJ started this downward spiral with his War on Poverty, and the result is what you posted.

The dems have been waging war against America's blacks since the civil war.

Chicago says you have 283 more to go to catch up to us.

Adjusted for population, Philly has 852 murdered compared to Chi town's 784.

Chicago has 1.7 times the population of Philadelphia.

Amazingly enough, all of this murder seems to be at a sustainable rate.

Good point, could this be the one place Marxism has worked out supply and demand?

The optics might not sit well with some demographics, but the age of social distancing would be a great time to repopularize the spear as a weapon.

I’m guessing 85%.

"...LBJ started this downward spiral..."

Yep. My Dad swore expletives at LBJ, just as my Grandfather
did at FDR - and I do at Brandon-The-Great-Poop. (BTGP)

The more things change...

Good Luck with this where you live policy:

White officers account for 57% of the Philadelphia Police Department staff. According to U.S. Census records, 34% of Philadelphia’s residents are white. In June 2020, Philadelphia’s city council passed a bill requiring police recruits to live in the city for at least a year. The goal is a more diverse police force.
