    These type of reports used to be followed with "we need to call for a state of emergency, once elected I will do that". I say "when Mr. Mayor"?

    The Philly detectives have found one thing that ties all of these shootings together-the invention of gunpowder.

    Unbelievable comments, it could have been a person minding his own business in this cruel city who was robbed and dumped! Get real people it doesn't matter to these thugs anymore, so it could be YOU next. Talk is cheap behind the keyboard, until your hands are trembling trying to dial 911 after one of these ruthless people are after you. They go to the suburbs too, and Jersey. Wait until you have to dial 911 or something happens to one of your family members, remember what you said about someone's child.

    .....beep beep beep, this just in, the sun will rise in the East and set in the west. Come on people, this town should be razed and be for businesses only. The rest of the land can be a for an animal only park.

    MizzBlue, About your 911 comment: If some thug comes after me, my hand will not tremble while dialing 911. I'll shoot him first, then call for an ambulance. Dialing 911 and expecting the cops to come in and rescue you from a violent criminal is like standing in the rain waiting for someone to let you borrow an umbrella.
