Nearly 100 shots rang out near a recreation center in Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) Philadelphia at approximately 7:00 p.m. Tuesday after at least two suspects opened fire.

6 ABC reported that “children were practicing sports” when two suspects exited a white SUV and opened fire. Five people were injured as a result.

A teenage witness said, “We were just sitting there laughing and talking and after that, we heard two gunshots. We thought it was fireworks at first, so we didn’t run, but after that the automatic gun started going off, we all started running.”

FOX 29 noted that there may have been more than two shooters and that “police believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud between two groups in the neighborhood”:

Trump was getting rid of gangs. Biden has invited two million of them just this fiscal year...

Well, I for one am glad their strict firearm laws are making a difference. Without them there might have been a thousand rounds ringing out.

More wasting of ammunition. Jo Jo needs to start buying the criminals he let back out on the street some firecrackers.

So will this be defined as just another mostly-peaceful shooting in the big city (committed by the 6 percenters), or as an attempted mass shooting (which only white guys can commit apparently)?

Biden and the democrats sold out to the drug cartels. That’s obvious.

All I need to do with these articles is look at the location, then I instantly know what is up.

“police believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud between two groups in the neighborhood”:


Is this coded language, to say, that rival street gangs were shooting at each other??

They have a feud? Such language makes one think that those Hatfields and McCoys are at it again.

This reminds me of how so many stories tell of “youths” getting in trouble. From the descriptions of “youth”, it makes one think that Eddie Haskel is playing practical jokes again.

Automatic gunfire? UNPOSSIBLE!!! Everyone knows that it’s extremely hard to get permits to own automatic guns, and everyone knows that it’s agaisnt the law to fire guns in the city except in designated range areas. Znd everyone knows that criminals obey the law- always! The teens must be mistaken /s

Kenny is the jerk who sang and danced when Killadelphia was confirmed to be a sanctuary city by a corrupt leftist judge.

“police believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud between two groups in the neighborhood”

Round up all these group (gang) members, make sure they have plenty of guns and ammo, and lock them in an otherwise empty stadium. Come back a day later and clean up the mess.

It’s not cartels. At least not at the street level.

It’s not the Amish either.

As students return to the many Philly campuses this must be very comforting to parents. Colleges are dying.
