Well, the title was leading to all the hoodlum activity in Chicago, Philly and elsewhere but Market Street is a couple of blocks from City Hall. Ain’t happening. Flash from a S&W .40 more like it.

And those complacent, spoiled children are in for a major wake up call. It’s called a trip to the wood shed.
