- Thats a goood one jonline. You can tell the age and race of a person by their post. Now who is the racist? I would just like to know where Jerome, Al and Jesse are when all this killing in their neighborhoods are going on. The racebaiters don't have anything to say because the truth is they can't do anything about it or make any money off of stopping the carrnage that is taking place in these neighborhoods. Maybe if all you wonderful people who are so ready to call people racist who are just stating the obvious would close your computers down and do something about the violence in your culture, maybe something positive could happen. By ther way I know television shows the goofy white people who get upset about being called racist but most of the people I know realize that being called that is just the black community trying to shut down any critisism because you refuse to take responsibility for your actions. Take responsibilty for your teenage pregenancy, high crime rate and drop out rate and maybe you to will become productive members of society.— Rowdy Yates

- so deturno, then in your opinion, as with the other random shootings that happen all over, let's see, north philly,germantown,west philly,grays ferry,castor gardens(the new north philly)the 19 year old was an upstanding citizen of the community,possibly a college student, on the honor roll, doing volunteer work at the local soup house, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time, doing nothing wrong and had not crossed someone for some reason?— deatheater
- The absolute level of racist remarks on this board are overwhelming. You can tell that its 50 year old white guys in the suburbs. It's disgusting.— jonline

- Come on are you trying to say this guy was a productive member of society? Productive members of society rarely are in these neighborhoods.. live by the streets die by the streets.— newzeegal
Drugs.— road515- crack— Larry Yadan
- Oh, wow! Stereotyping an entire race is how Hitler got his start.— essell
- This was not a random act of violence therefore, these two men had some sort of beef over possibly drugs, a woman etc! It's a shame that this madness continues to perpetuate itself in many parts of Philly!— JimiJaco

Sitnsmile has no idea why this 19 year old was shot, but he's glad to see a dead teenager. He'll also be glad if/when the shooter is arrested, and doesn't feel bad for either of their families. Sitnsmile probably thinks he's a good person, so how he could he care so little about a murder? Simple: "they kill each other." Who's "they," Sitnsmile? Is there any chance you're making a racial judgment?— DiTurno - Why would anyone be upset about all these killings. I sit back and smile everyday. They kill each other and eventually the other will go to jail. We call that a twofer. These thugs have more opportunity than I ever had but choose the life they live. I don't feel bad for them or their families continue to wipe out Yourselves and even ur families because u or your families have nothing to give and be a productive member of this society. So continue With the killing and I wil sit back and smile— Sitnsmile
- Modereater is correct: if there's one thing that gun violence teaches us, it's that guns are not the problem. Also,thanks to bil'l atkins for stepping up with the idiotic racist comment. Yes, it's a mystery why everyone except for mouthbreathers hates the GOP.— DiTurno
- Tragic. More deaths, but City Council is more unified in opposing the all important Chik-fil-A than speaking out about the Philadelphia murder rate that disproportionately impacts young African-American men.— TR3
- Anyone with a small p#nis and/or a low please IQ make a racist comment or an Obama comment. Thank you guys, we now know the truth.— sparky2212

- Killadelphia. At least it did not involve public transportation.— DC
- This comment has been deleted.— bil,l atkins
- Oh how wrong you are! There's plenty who's voting for President Obama... — Ms.Fitt
More proof that people kill people.
These fools would use sticks and stones if that's all they could find. This murder was targeted.— MODEREATER- however, the guns greatly enable the fools.
killing would be much harder with sticks and stones or knives.
the improved fire power of guns have enabled more bullets to fly in less time striking more people.
at least the gun industry is making money off the sales— the lopez!
