If crime goes unpunished, crime will increase

Shapiro is a POS, but how are you going to stop these shootings, and more importantly - why should we want to stop them??? Think of this as Capital Punishment, in a way. These Blue Cities and States are seeing criminals executed left and right! And no costly Public Defenders, no long drawn out appeals processes. Nope, just a bullet or two to the head, and it don’t hardly cost the State nothing. Not even a last meal request. Meanwhile, those poor old law-abiding Red States, like Texas or Louisiana or Arkansas, execute a couple of folks each year, usually having to take them out of their wheel chairs to strap them to a gurney, and remind them what it was they done way back in 1962, that they are getting the needle for.

Pre-Floyd, Philadelphia was supposedly a hip city with Millenials. I would imagine that fad ended.

It’s more like 400 people ‘shot dead’, and more than 350 people wounded. It’s not that I am trying to diminish the crime in Philadelphia. I just think facts are important. This is correct; journalists are too interested in getting the story out and outraging than presenting facts.

Maybe. But if criminals kill criminals, then there is less crime too! Because dead criminals don’t commit crimes no more, nor do they kill anybody. Although, some of their homeys and they momma might get shot up a little at the funeral. But no big loss there either. IMHO.

And the reaction of the Philly mayor to statistics like this is to say he’s sick of being mayor.

I was walking through through impressive city hall (built 4 generations ago, certainly not by the present cretins in charge)

Besides the garbage and urine - I saw a homeless woman taking a sh** in the main portico

THAT’S Philadelphia.

I hope everyone realizes the source of the problem in journalism. I am fairly certain that journalism is pushed as a virtuous career by high school teachers and guidance counselors. “You can change the world.”

Teachers and guidance counselors are they last people children should listen to when it comes to what to study in college and determining a career. No one with an ounce of intelligence would listen to abject failures for advice for success.

Looks like 400 killed, 750 shot (not dead as stated) - close enough for the Daily Fail.

Looks like Chicago is going to have to try harder...

Lots of things grow crime. Prisons grow crime. When you lock people up with violent people, they become more violent. When they get out they are worse. Unwed mothers and single mothers grow crime. Sending jobs overseas grows crime. Illegal immigration grows crime. Woke theology and excuse making grows crime. The one thing that does not grow crime - is dead criminals. The only good criminal is a dead criminal. And thugz killing thugz over money, is a Free Market solution to crime! Think outside the box, or you will miss intelligent insights like these!

“Biden was right. There is no inflation. At least not for the young people of Philadelphia. Cost of goods has not gone up.”

The cost of goods is free. You just use code GFLOYD at checkout.
