Does anybody think that the new mayor will keep his campaign promise about initiating action to stop the horrendous murder rate in Philly?

Good luck with reducing the murder rate in Philly. As long as the gangs settle all scores at the barrel of a gun, it’s going to be tough. Somebody “disses” somebody, and the alleged slight is resolved with a gun. Drug deals gone bad are resolved the same way. The whole culture of violence has grown up around the criminal activity of these gangs. It’s sad that innocent people get shot too. That’s part of the problem. These gangs don’t give a BLANK who gets in the crossfire when they decide to settle things with a shooting.

Bookmark these maps because they show where the majority of violent homicides in the US are originating from.

_______________________________________________________________

These maps are from the article titled "Anti-gun Promo Blackfires"

I think perhaps it should have been entitled, "The African Americans are slaughtering each other in our US Cities"

Baltimore, PROPER, which is reflected on the map has 64.34% Black or African American, 31.63% White.

_______________________________________________________________

This Baltimore Sun map shows a terrible problem, but does not clarify who the murderers are.

Baltimore Sun map of PEOPLE murdered, 2007:

_______________________________________________________________

Baltimore Sun map of BLACKS murdered, 2007: (264)

_______________________________________________________________

Baltimore Sun map of WHITES murdered, 2007: (12)

Of the 12, 6 were killed *downtown* probably while buying drugs. _______________________________________________________________

That's right a small percentage of people, generally gangs and drug dealers, in our large cities are causing the majority of the gun related homicides in the US. Do not allow this data to be covered up or hidden. Do not allow the gun control nutcases to take away your self defense weapons.

Baltimore, PROPER, Population 651,154
Baltimore, greater metropolitan area, Population 5.1 Million
