A 15-year-old was shot in the leg in North Philadelphia on Sunday night as he was leaving a vigil for a 13-year-old boy who was killed Friday morning, police said.

At least 10 shots were fired just before 7 p.m. on the 2600 block of North 22nd Street, where dozens of people had gathered at 6 p.m. to release blue and white balloons in remembrance of a boy who was fatally shot Friday just blocks from his school.

The defund the police DA and Mayor have their one security details and there is a team of policemen who spend 24/7 guarding a ply wood box that hides a stature of Mayor Frank Rizzo meanwhile Philadelphia is turning into Dodge city.

Sort of a ‘pay it forward’ kind of thing.

Sounds awful, I know, but just because these two are/were 15 and 13 doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous thugs.

Lmao! One of my favorite news items. A stabbing/shooting at a vigil for a victim of a stabbing/shooting.

There’s so many that now I wish I would have bookmarked them. Darn it.

What decline, I don’t see any decline.... (kapow kapow, bang bang, rickochet, whizz, crash) oh, yeah. That decline!

How many came forward as witnesses?
For either shooting?
The shot-at gang bangers know who the shooting gang-bangers are.
They will get their own ‘revenge’. Bystanders will be injured and killed. And no-one will talk bc it was ‘cousin LaMont’ and ‘baby-daddy Shawntay’ who are doing the shooting.
Get out of cities. Not solvable bc all the solutions that actually would work are “white” and “republican”.

To me, it sounds like "gang activity violence".

Frequently when there is a gang shooting,
the 'perp' will give his fired gun to a juvenile if police are around,
knowing full well that the courts will be lenient towards the juvenile,
and that even if convicted, will only serve a juvenile sentence and released within a couple of years.
Thus the young adult/ adult is protected from prosecution.

Strawberry Mansion area, lovely this time of year…

I blame the gun.

What was the Wayans Brothers’ comedy in which some of the characters lived on “Drive-By Drive”?

This happens over and over. Police tell many stories of arriving at the crime scene, but nobody saw anything. Thus nobody can work with police to identify anyone because everyone says they just didn’t see what happened.

I like the shootings at baby showers and gender reveals, too.
