According to heyjackass.com Chicago has only 106 homicides to date. If the ghetto thugs of Philadelphia tried extra hard, they could overtake Chicago.

Everyone has been so jaded by leftist/Democrat sanctioned violent crime, this barely makes a blip on the brain.

100 dead in 2.2 months? In one town?

Line up 100 dead people up on the street, and it will appear like a horrific brutal battle took place. This should be front page news everywhere, but now it’s passe.

Makes me think of the scene in Atlanta in “Gone With The Wind” where all the wounded soldiers are lying on the ground.

Grim milestone? You mean it is not an achieved goal?
