Did you know that there have been close to 220 murders in Philadelphia, PA since Jan 1, 2006? The lack of outrage by the city administration is what has my jaw dropping. The mayor talks about a curfew and has some intellectual town meetings once in a blue moon, but no action is taking place. I'd have some respect for him, even if he feigned concern, just show some. He should be seen daily, with some sense of urgency in his stand about the murder rate and violence in Philadelphia. He had more response about the flood victims relief fund, where residents were displaced, but no one was injured or killed. I don't get it. Where are the Streets of yesteryear with their bushes and outrage about the city? You remember the fighting in Philadelphia City Hall don't you? Maybe we need to show the Mayor those old tapes, I know there is some energy and passion in him about something. Too bad his concern isn't the untimely deaths that occur every night on the streets that he is in public office to serve. Hellooo Mayor?...Is this thing on? Hello John? Mayor Street, your citizens are dying, get alarmed!
