Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney (D) said he was “horrified” by the reports of a fatal shooting that took place on a playground Friday and said the city is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest.

“I am horrified by the reports of a quadruple shooting tonight and praying for the victims as well as their families and loved ones,” Kenney wrote Friday night in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Kenney said the city would offer a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and shared the phone number to call with anonymous tips

I wonder if the mayor was horrified by the 516 murders in his city last year?

A guy I know was visiting his sister in our local city, and was shot in the leg by two “urban youths” because he said something to them when they threw some trash onto her lawn. The bullet smashed his femur, but luckily missed a major artery. He’ll be rehabbing for at least 6 months.

This is just a fact-of-life in America’s cities.

Its the price we all pay for leftists to keep their racist rhetoric and promote their ideological world view.

I bet the shooter is one of the mayor’s people. His outrage is phony. He hasn’t done a single thing to make Philadelphia a safer or better place to live.

Don’t mess with savages unless armed and ready both physically and mentally.
Addendum to that is when in a location where savages are known to roam one must be hyper aware.
