Five people were wounded and two others killed during Tuesday night shootings in Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the first fatal shooting occurred in “the 1800 block of East Lippincott Street” about 7 p.m. and the second occurred in “the 2000 block of East Stella Street” just after 8 p.m.

In the first fatal shooting a male was shot in the face and numerous other times in his body. In the second, a 23-year-old man “was shot four times in the head.”

NBC Philadelphia notes three people were shot and wounded “inside Ralph’s Bleigh Street Pub on the 7400 block of Torresdale Avenue” about 6:20 p.m. Tuesday. The shooting came on the heels of an argument inside the establishment.

On November 29, 2021, Breitbart News observed that Mayor Kenney’s Philadelphia had broken a three decade old record for homicides this year. The record of 500 homicides in a year was set in 1990, but 6 ABC pointed out that Philadelphia reached 501 murders for 2021 on Friday, November 26.

Mis/dis-information obvioulsy. Pretty sure I saw a clip of the Philly DA saying, without hesitation, that crime and killing are NOT up in Philly. Not happening.

Big City America needs to just cut to the chase and elect undertakers as mayors.

Which was the John Wayne movie where the dead henchmen of the bad guy would have their pay in their pocket and John Wayne would say "Here, undertaker, this'll pay for this one." He'd pick up the corpses off the street.

Then Wayne noticed a larger amount of coins in the next ones. "It's gettin' harder to find fools to get killed working for him. Give this to the undertaker."

Glad someone’s keeping count. Go Philly!

Philadelphia edges out Chicago =>

Philly - 501 murders per 1.58m population = 31.7/100k
Chicago - 805 murders per 2.7m population = 29.8/100k
