I doubt anybody on this board who doesn't live in the affected areas, really care. And they wonder how situations like this get out of control. Do we forget that there are law-abiding citizens in these same neighborhoods? Oh wait.... they're helping the criminals.

Lyndon Johnson in 1960 explained the appeal of racial demagogy: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Ahhhh. a rose by any other name. People are getting dead just the same. Enough with fighting these "Cosmetic Wars" there is a real one on the streets and any thing useful (and no martial law is not useful) that can be done to win it is alright by me. It is it more Black men patrolling the area or State Troopers so be it. In case you missed it that stray bullets are hitting innocent by-standards. I'm not interested in eating the next one. Are you?

And your plan is what? Oh yeah, let's tax the people trying to work hard at 99% and throw billions of trillions of dollars at programs that have been proven to fail. More welfare, more giveaways, more of the same.

Guess what? The good citizens have something called "Jobs", and many of them are not going to want yet more of their money flushed down the toliet knowing full well the thugs will continue to rule the streets and make their hoods a shithole.

Young men killed in (largley white)suburbs this year (And by subrubs, I don't mean Chester, Norristown, Trenton, et al): Maybe 10?

Young (overwhelmingly Black) men killed in Philadelphia: 300+, and rising.



I will say this: It's not really about race. Black kids in Haverford and Newtown aren't slinging bullets either. Personally, it's an inner-city welfare mentality that is killing these kids.

What garbage is this?Those good citizens you mention also live in the affected areas and they pay taxes also.

I already said that, and hence why should they support your "Great Leap Forward"? They know damn well throwing (their)money at the problem isn't going to make it go away. Their porches and corners will still be dangerous places to be at night, so why flush your earnings down the toliet as well.

I know a lot of people in this city, and yes, Blacks among them. If there is one thing that unites all hard-working, honest Philadelphians regardless of race, class, sexual orientation, beliefs, etc, is that many here are earning enough to put away, and then getting the F--- out. The "Good Citizens" are leaving, Drewrob, and your plan would probably be the last straw.

Where the hell did that come from? I call them all "animals" or "scumbags". That includes the ones who beat the kid to death in Kutztown. I hope that those scumbags fry.

Wow you know black people in this city. Yes, people that can afford to move are leaving. Yet everyone can not afford to move.Did those black people you mentioned tell you that? And what plan did I mention, that will be the last straw? Stop grabbing ideas out of the air.

Didn't our dumbass mayor already say we have enough cops and don't need to anymore? Street and Johnson both need to be hung up by their balls!! But then again, the brothers and sisters are running the city
