Even as the coronavirus pandemic has led officials to largely shut down Philadelphia and left its streets and subways nearly empty, violent crime has continued unabated. ---SNIP--- As of Friday, police said, the city’s homicide total for the year stood at 86, compared with 66 at the same point last year — a 26% increase.

As the state of PA is in shutdown I wonder what is causing the crime wave?
* Poor social distancing etiquette?
* Cashless bail?
* Progressive mayor?
* Soros toady as DA?

Locked down in Philly?

Marijuana shops are still open.

The homeless still run free.

Abortion mills still open.

Still a sanctuary city.

Still an open borders city.

Illegals will be untouchable, in any gathering.

But did they shut down all the guns stores.

If 1000 LGBT decided to get together and party in the South Street, no one would touch them.

So, basically, it is Govenors and Mayors assuming Stalin like powers in order to enforce their political policies.

Those heartless, soulless, uncaring thugs...didn’t they learn ANYTHING from Baltimore? The city needs hospital beds for COVID patients, not for gunshot wound patients. C’mon boys, stop shooting each other.

The Others are about to bust loose and all the man bun, soyboyz are about to get an education is street thuggery. The rugged Philly men and women will do just fine.

It’s business as usual in Philadelphia, less legitimate businesses.

We’re about 80 days into the year. Philadelphia has been on shutdown for what, about a week? Is that really enough time to determine if the shutdown is having a real effect on violent crime?

Breakdown of the traditional family, corrupted culture, lieberal politics and what MLK quoted ‘ content of character’ issues and lack thereof.
Gangs should be absolutely outlawed in this nation.

When the food and booze runs out on the Hoods,they will be running out of there like a pack of Hyenas. I would NOT go no where near a city now.

Philadelphia is hopeless. It’s a total disaster. Avoid at all cost.
