Philadelphia marked a second year of out-of-control violence, hitting 500 homicides this week as elected officials scramble to address two of the worst years in a long time.
“As of today, 500 people’s lives have been cut short by senseless violence in our city,” said Mayor Jim Kenney (D) during a Monday press conference. That’s 500 of our friends, neighbors, colleagues and family members. As we enter this holiday season, I can’t help but think of all the incredible potential that has been extinguished by this loss of life.”
Most affected are black males between the age of 18 and 45.
While down 7% from 2021, when the city reported 562 killings – the highest on record, Philly’s crime wave has caught the attention of state lawmakers, who in November took the unprecedented step of impeaching District Attorney Larry Krasner by a vote of 107-85, over the city’s lack of action and alleged misconduct.
Wow, “All the incredible potential that has been extinguished by this loss of life” Really Mayor Jim Kenney? Actually the only real loss would be those killed by stray bullets, the others were most certainly up to no good. Live by sword, die by the sword, in the city of Brotherly Love
Democrats.
Whenever these slimy snake oil preachers get control, EVERYTHING goes wrong.
EVERYTHING.
ALL THEY DO IS PROMISE to “change things” for “the people” and “the working man”.
PLEASE tell me ONE — just ONE — democrat-run city that isn’t a haven for murder, drug dealing, DAYTIME theft, car jackings and killings. One where WELFARE isn’t the main source of income for minorities.
Stop voting for democrats. They HATE America. They hate any reference to “moral behavior”.
All one has to do is just LOOK at what happens when they are in charge.
Keep cheering, you dummies. They LOVE that.
Just another SEWER like Baltimore & Chicago !!! SCUM
