Philadelphia Hits Record Homicides As Rates Rise Across U.S.

I live in Philadelpha and I hate it here! This city isn’t as bad as they’re making it seem… it’s actually far worse!

[JaneDoe-hytq]

No one is surprised about this. They voted for it, they keep supporting it, now you gotta live it.

My little brother was murdered in Philly in 2020. I remember holding him a few moments after he was born at Jefferson Hospital, I’ll never get to hug him again. So much for the city of brotherly love.

Seems like the community is killing itself. At this moment if you really want to change and improve the community you need to put the killers and criminals in jail instead of holding out hope they will change…. The only ones getting hurt are the innocent!

[kennysboat]

Can you show the racial demographics of the shooters?

I love the section where they throw in that "Republicans want permit-less carry" after they go through all the gun drama. Most morons would look at that and say "Oh wow, evil Republicans want more guns on the streets?!" When in reality, it helps law abiding citizens defend themselves. If you can legally purchase a gun, you can obtain a concealed carry permit. It would just eliminate the hassle of having to do so. Getting a permit in Philly is a notoriously long, frustrating and dragged out process.

Thank you Krasner for releasing all the criminals back on the streets, and preventing cops from doing their jobs.

More liberal undertones instead of telling the true story of what’s going on in Philly!

[jareersmoker]

Did she try to call this city a Brotherhood. They’re just making fun of us people at this point.

If only we could have a real Black lives matter movement

[Blktxdom]

I left Philadelphia after my mother died in 1992.

The people who voted for democratically elected political ideologues deserve what they got.

[damiandaniels]

I'm black and never wanted to live in an all black neighborhood cuz we dont know how to get along. Is this martin Luther King dream??

[aaronstephens]

The city of brotherly love, that sure is a nice way of putting it

[SuperJK-Man]

What’s the percentage of the race of the suspect?

[williedaniels]

Philly record murders rates disturbing

[ronpeer]

Maybe that defund the police thing wasn’t such a good idea?

[underdog]

Bring back stop and frisk. Violence prevention a joke. These individuals are Criminals wasting money instead of paying cops what they are worth.

[rafaelabreu]

The reporter didn't miss the opportunity to blame the Police.

[bricklayer]

When people declare themselves to be your enemy, believe them. When your enemies destroy each other, let them.

[Richardgreen]

Violence is still the same like back in the 90s when Will left.
