My Uncle and Aunt (not Jewish; Catholic/Italian)lived in Overbrook when we were little kids. He was in the neighborhood Mummers String Band. It was safe enough back then (mid to late 60’s, into the early 70’s) that we could walk thru’ the alleyway to the local corner store and pick up cigarettes and chips when they ran out (we had a note and they put it on their tab!)

So, you figure every person in an inner city neighborhood is worthless ?
At least we know where you stand.

Early Midnight Basketball...😋. One thing, how can you play basketball if you pants are down at your knees? On second thought, I don't want to know...

Are they sure they were male? They could identify as one of the many 'genders' liberals have. Or, maybe they identify as an animal...😋

The FBI doesn’t care about blacks killing or wounding other blacks or other minority groups. The FBI doesn’t care about minority violent gangs, rioting, looting, wounded random citizens or crimes committed by illegals.
The FBI doesn’t care if 40 Antifa thugs beat up a lone conservative journalists... but they WOULD care big time if 40 Trump supporters beat up a liberal journalist.
If the politics (the racial groups) had been reversed the FBI would care big time. The murder of a black child doesn’t matter as much to them as a white person using the “N” word.
Why?
Because the FBI is the thug arm of the democrat party.
