Philadelphia on pace for lowest murder rate in 56 years

[Tommy Lee Jones]

Did you only read the headline then respond? The article has statistics that does not come from the mouth of politicians. Like @Mowgli you are an emotional thinker, you read "Joe Biden is right" it triggered you and you instinctually started screaming Joe Biden and politicians are lying rather than even skimming through the article.

No child left behind has got another one

you don't seem to understand. the whole system lies, everything is a lie. All of these numbers are a lie, the unemployment rate numbers are a lie. You are naive to believe these people.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

The article is just political trickery. People love to congratulate themselves on society making progress when we're not. You can't look at one low year and pat yourself on the back and assume it was something you've been doing that caused the decrease.

I know Philly's population has increased since the 60s and that ideally we should look at murder rate numbers (per 100k) rather than totals but since the article didn't do that I won't either and I'll look just at the total incidence numbers:

Since the year 1967 with the "historic low" of 234 that they hope to get close to this year, there have been 8 mayors in Philadelphia. The current mayor (James F. Kenney) has the highest homicide per year in office rate (410 per year) out of all of them, the only one above 400.

Yes the Covid years had a peak but is that a good excuse? The 80s had a crack epidemic, the late 60s had civil rights issues, the 70s had economic woes etc.
The truth is, the current mayor of Philadelphia is on a run of historically high murder incidence. Even with the projected number of 246 homicides this year, his term would still rank second highest since 1967. If this year ends with 281 or more homicides, he'll remain number one. Even if he makes the 246 number this year, he'll still average nearly a hundred homicides per year in office more than his immediate predecessor did from 2008-2015.

Do you think the system hates cops?

This has been happening in a lot of cities. It’s way down in STL too. This is really good news, even though whenever the decrease in crime reports come out, there’s this influx of cacs who now think the numbers are being cooked.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

There’s no crime if people don’t call the cops because they can’t and don’t do shyt.

There’s no crime if they don’t report the stats.

There is no way crime is down they just lie.

I live in Philly and what I see on the news does not tell me crime is down. You gotta have your head on a swivel everywhere. A bum just stabbed someone in the most experience park in the city last week. 50 shots were fired the other night, someone was executed on a bicycle in broad daylight two weeks ago.

Why this nikka seem upset about the murder rate bein at historic lows

when you don't base you views on facts but instead emotions, and the facts go against your feelings you experience cognitive dissonance

Good news

Facts according to who? If coke a cola pays scientist to create a report that says sugar doesn’t cause diabetes and that’s what the report shows that’s a fact according to who paid for the study.

I actually like Philadelphia. Get rid of the crime, it's a nice city. I just can't do the winters there

need to do something about the blight and drug addiction/homelessness as well

 

[The Fade]

Now that I think about it, this might be all planned.

Allow crime to go crazy, drive down property value so that people sell for cheap, then start policing again when the neighborhood is gentrified.

Just know you aren’t crazy

They want your property for cheap so they can have a come up. An even more sinister subversive way of blockbusting.

Makes drill music seem like it’s part of a BlackRock scam but who knows

How'd he achieve this? Forgive me, I'm not up on criminal justice policies in Philly.

Probably locking criminals up and stop giving second chances
