WE need to go out with our guns (and carry permits) and "bait" these scumbags. Then shoot to kill, don't want to support them in prison in the un-likely event they are ever convicted. Be prepared to shoot their relatives when they come looking for vengeance.

If knives were strictly controlled and straw purchases were outlawed there would be fewer stabbings.

46th & Walnut is not the heart of West Philly. It's possible to call it part of the transition zone from University City when going west. This crime also sounds like Black-on-Black crime. The victim was 53 years old, not a typical student age. There has also been a pattern of robberies in this corridor area (46th-48th Streets) since mid-December. The perpetrator also had a knife, much more silent than a gun. But 4 stab wounds? Really? Please be aware of your surroundings. Thanks, and best wishes to the victim.
