We must change direction.. pull law enforcement out in say.. 4 to 6 months?

Dems in control alert...

It's time to appease the criminals and try to understand why they are so angry. That will end the violence.

Mayor John Street and Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson have no plan for victory in Philadelphia.

they shouldn't have voted for Rendel

From the article: "... calling for a "Cease Fire" in neighborhoods plagued with violence. "

Liberals would rather surrender to the killers than fight them. Bush should bring the "War on Terror" to Philadelphia.

I'm willing to bet large sums of money that in the 13 of the 18 provinces in Iraq, I would be much safer than any night in Philly

I think we should send Kennedy and Kerry into Philly and let them sit down and have a peaceful talk with the insurgents....I know they could calm things down after an eveing of marshmellows and hot dogs and songs by the camp fire (sarcasm)

[OldFriend]

Nuke the city to save it.

Street is a total moron (amoung other things). His "safe streets" program actually warns perps where the police will be patroling.
Judges in Philly are left wing nincompoops too for the most part. Keep dreaming up new reasons for letting criminals go like their "coersive abandonment" idea they dreamed up a few years ago. That brainstorm throws out cases where perps discard their drugs or guns at the sight of oncoming police or while actually fleeing the police. Loopy reasoning being that the perp "only" threw away the incriminating evidence because the sight of the police "coerced" them into doing so.
We need Frank Rizzo or Smedley Butler to return from the beyond and clean up Philly. (Smedley Butler is a Marine Corps legend, one of two Marines to win the Medal of Honor twice. Was head of the police dept. around the turn of the century [last century] when Philly had the highest crime rate in the nation. He made a rule that any officer who killed a perp in the act of committing a crime would get an automatic promotion. Six months and a few less criminals later, Philly had the "lowest" crime rate in the Country).

Isn't the solution obvious?

The Dems need to cut off funding to the Philly Police Department until the violence stops.

You should check out Portsmouth Virginia.I have a close relative there.Go to Virginia courts case information and check out the offenders.It amazed me at the crimes they do,and the time they do not do.My close relative is a female with three children,and her last boyfriend had a rap sheet three pages long.He was on parole for armed robbery,gets caught with 88 bags of heroin,and is out in less than three months.That convinces me the system is in a bad need of fixing.The others are just as bad if not worse.It takes a lot to shock me,but I was.I would bet it is prevalent all over the country.Our young people need to get it together,as they are the people who will be in charge soon.Some already are.
