The Philadelphia Story

The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) has deployed SHOTPOINT®, Databuoy’s life-saving gunshot localization and detection system, to help reduce gun violence throughout the City of Philadelphia. [More]

So… how many lives has it saved, and how much “gun violence” has it reduced?

Or are we just talking about another boondoggle to reward favored lobbyists with tax plunder and make it look like the city fathers have a grip on things? Any bets on seeing a pronounced and attributable dip in the numbers, or will it work as well as the paid snitch program?

Another thing I can’t tell: Is the person who wrote this a “real reporter” or a PR flack, and what’s the difference, anyway?

And not to stir up trouble or anything, but with all the emphasis Philly puts on DEI, do these people look a little white to you?

Mystery to Me

“At this time I believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were acquaintances,” Marshmond said. “He was just trying to help him just get through life.” Marshmond said a motive for the killing has not been determined. [More]

Young, troubled black teen being “helped” by “openly queer” older, self-appointed “mentor”…

I wonder if Yul can help…

Instant Karma’s Going to Get You

Philadelphia Journalist Who Mocked Concern Over Violent Crime In Democrat Cities Shot Dead In Home [More]

Not really related but somehow seems apt: Years ago a friend told the story of his high school shop teacher who had lost his finger on a band saw, and when explaining to the boys in class how it happened cut off another one.

Nobody Knows the Trouble She’s Seen?

“I can’t believe this I’m traumatized the way they treated me in the jails wow this what these people do to us black people 60!” [More]

What, they treated you like someone who can’t make her own decisions? Give one specific example of you being singled out for special discriminatory treatment by racists.

What should happen to people who steal from others and destroy their property? What should happen to people who steal from you and destroy yours?

Who will influence the influencers?

And what’s their game?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Man arrested during looting was out on bail in connection with deadly assault outside bar [More]

Man, there sure are a lot of victims of racism in a city ruled by Democrats…

Communist Moron Doubles Down on Stupid

I said what I said [More]

Spoken like someone who has never created a penny’s worth of wealth… Leave it to a career snout in the public trough to say government will pay for everything!

Constituents in Pennsylvania’s 2nd Congressional District are doubtless bigoted, self-entitled, and dumb enough to vote for him over any Republican.

Funny, for someone who presumes to represent “workers”

That Awkward Age

The suspect wasn’t named because of his age and is currently facing state charges, although both of those will likely change, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said. [More]

So he’s the age of consent in PA, recognized as a member of the militia by U.S. Code, deemed old enough to vote by Nancy Pelosi, and a veteran of years of puberty blockers

So what’s the real reason Soros DA Krasner & Co. don’t want us to know who he is, and Faux News just goes along with it without question??

Our Gun Control is Better Than Yours

Philadelphia is suing three firearm retailers – Frank’s Gun Shop Double Tap Shooting Range and Delia’s Gun Shop in Northeast Philadelphia, and Tanner’s Sports Center in Bucks County – alleging the businesses are participating in illegal straw purchases, an illicit criminal activity where an individual lies on the background check form that they are the actual purchasers and instead sells or transfers a firearm to someone who can’t or won’t be associated with the sale of a firearm. [More]

So NSSF’s “solution” is to enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

But No One’s Talking About Taking Your Guns

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said Tuesday that the dealer who sold guns to the person involved in a mass shooting in Kingsessing “should be sued until they’re out of business.” [More]

He wants them all closed down. He wants you unarmed. No rifles, no handguns…

It’s good to be the king!

“That’s because Kenney and his gal pal are guarded 24/7 by a security detail of at least eight armed Philadelphia police officers.”

Looks like the wrong pig on that spit…

Why Not?

[More]

It’s available. The narrative shapers just don’t want you to see it:

The New York Post pointed to two photos posted by Carriker on his Facebook page March 27, 2022, where he’s visibly wearing a bra and women’s top with earrings and has braided hair associated with women.

Some things can’t be unseen:

Funny, how the DSM doesn’t want this information to be made “available,” either. Best just to stick to blaming guns, white supremacists, and hateful traditional values Americans don’t you think?

How Very ‘Progressive’

A 46-year-old man was fatally shot by a fellow campaign staffer while handing out flyers for a progressive political group in Philadelphia ahead of the city’s upcoming mayoral race. [More]

OnePA? Looks like they’re 0 for 2 on “common sense gun reforms” and black lives mattering.

Care to see what else they’re wrong on?
