There were 10 murders last night in Philadelphia and there wasn't any outrage or even comment from the city's administration. No mayor, police commissioner, butcher, baker or candle stick maker. What has happened to this city? 3 dead, 2 critical, 1 rape and no outrage!What an embarrasment this city has become. Thugadelphia has become a refuge for the criminal and his posse. A state rep's son was kidnapped and the thugs are so comfortable breaking laws in this city that they have performed 2 armed breakins to 2 houses in the last 3 weeks. So comfortable the criminal has become in this city that there is no fear of reprisal or reprimand on the part of the city's residents or officials. Don't tell and you'll live seems to be the thinking, but are you living when someone else has your heart. What happened to the urbanite who said the heck with you, this is mine and you can't have it. Is everyone scared, is everyone a soft punk, except the criminals? When will we rise up and fight for what is right? We can't mourn for Katrina victims, when we allow ourselves to be victimized everynight by people who look just like us. Where are the men, women and families who are proud and are willing to stand up and take back their neighborhood? It seems the criminal has a better support network than the citizen. Shame on you Philadelphia, shame on you!
