Carjackings at gas stations in Democrat-run Philadelphia are up over 400 percent in 2022 compared to 2021.

There were seven carjackings at gas stations in Philadelphia in 2021, and there were already 30 such carjackings by November 14 of 2022, ABC 6 notes.

In other crimes, “There have been 69 armed robberies at the pumps this year, compared to 65 in all of last year.”

Philadelphia is a model Democrat city that should be shown to the rest of the US as this is what happens when it is fully run by the Democrats.

No worries. This particular problem will go away once gas-powered cars are banned, and everyone is driving a Tesla.

Of course there will be carjackings at charging stations. But let’s focus on one problem at a time.

Well, they got what they wanted. So, I have a hard time worrying about Democrat or Uniparty cities.

Who was the liberal nutcase a few years ago who said Detroit was in such bad shape because it was a conservative mecca?

Something Shultz???

Detroit is a mess, all because of Democrats.

I know, that’s why I thought it was so funny the commentator was trying to blame it on conservatives.

One is only entitled to one stupid move at a time. Two and you are at serious risk. three and you are done for.

1. Going to a gas station in the City of Philadelphia.

2. Going after 7pm or before 7am.

3. Going unarmed.

I did a quick check. Philadelphia is around 40% black. And around 85% of all Philadelphians are registered Democrats. I’m thinking that last statistic is the problem.

Lyndon Johnson was a genius.
The Great Society destroyed the black family structure and made black people wards of the state dependent on the Democrat party.

I read an article a few years ago how the Republicans destroyed Detroit through modernization of production that eliminated jobs.....Um, it was foreign competition and union wages that destroyed Detroit. Greedy unions, poor quality work and failure to compete with Japan that killed it.

Cutting the Cords at charging stations is already a HUGE problem in Los Angeles & other places.

True that. LBJ pushed black folks back onto a plantation. It’s a cleverly disguised plantation. But it’s a plantation nevertheless.

Today’s Democrat leaders are not satisfied with just that. They want pretty much everyone on a plantation, waiting in line for handouts.

The residents voted for it and deserve what they get.

So why do they keep voting for the people who allow this?

Well...let's consider this for a moment.

There are about 400 gas stations in Philadelphia (cf. https://www.lng2019.com/the-large-number-of-gas-stations-in-philadelphia/). Even if only one carjacking or robbery occurred per station, there would still be over 3/4 of the stations that would have no carjacking or robbery for the whole year.

Moreover, if there are perhaps 150 gas customers daily per station on average, that would make the chances of being carjacked or robbed around 1 in 210,000, in a city of about 4 million.

As the old adage states, a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. There still isn't enough mugging in Philadelphia to affect the voting percentages, and it would take a massive amount of violent crime (including riots as well as individual crimes) for enough people to suffer enough personally to make them want to vote for law&order candidates.
