"I thought I had to worry about him in the classroom, not on the streets," his mother, Lana Zamora, said by telephone

A very interesting statement about our public school systems.

"I've worked with a lot of victims," she said. "It's different - a way different feeling - when you're the victim. I thought I would be angry, but right now I don't care what happens to the people who did this. "It won't bring my son back."

How very Liberal of you. As long as you dont care then we can all expect more of the same.

I haven’t seen a description of the perp yet.

It’s tragic. That neighborhood had been one of the safest in the city. There’s even a community swimming pool nearby.

I haven’t seen a description of the perp yet.

That's how I know he's black.

Perp took Obambi’s advice to bring a gun.

It sounds to me like no one has yet reported having seen the perp.

White interloper...

[Menehune56]

High probability of that, this being Philadelphia and all, but still ...

“I haven’t seen a description of the perp yet.”

Please enlighten as to how you even know there’s a witness to describe the perp.

“aspiring teacher shot and killed in robbery in philadelphia”

one guesses that they call it filthydelphia for good reason.

If they ever catch the perp I will bet my next paycheck that it is a repeat offender that some liberal judge let off a previous crime that would have put them behind bars where they belong.

[gracesdad]

“That’s how I know he’s black.”

Wow, you need to be a detective, seeing as it sounds like the police didn’t even have a description when this article was written. I’m completely astounded by your powers of deduction.

[Fresh Wind]

Actually, for Philadelphia, it is a fairly safe neighborhood. In 2007, there were only 3 homicides in that general area.

What a terrible, sad story. Before we go too far off on Phily, it could just as easily happened in a Minneapolis or St. Paul neighborhood.

You and me both.

The left is always detached from reality. What’s scary is that they don’t even remember 9/11 and don’t believe that a nuclear 9/11 is coming.
