Philly Mayor Doesn’t Worry About Terrorists – Because They ‘Wouldn’t Last 15 Minutes’ in Some City Neighborhoods By Penny Starr April 12, 2012
(CNSNews.com) – The violence on inner-city streets is the real “domestic terrorism,” says Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
“I never worried much about al-Qaeda in West Philly, because Osama bin Laden wouldn’t last 15 minutes in some of the neighborhoods that I represent,” Nutter said at a recent summit on preventing youth violence in Washington.
“But I do have to worry about Pookie, Man Man and Junebug,” Nutter added. “They are domestic terrorists. They prevent my children from being out in the street playing. They prevent my seniors from going to their meetings. They prevent good, hard-working citizens from going to work.”
Nutter compared the number of people killed by al-Qaeda on Sept. 11, 2001 (2,977, he said) with the number of individuals murdered last year in some U.S. cities -- 515 people in New York City, 63 in Boston, 24 in Trenton, 108 in Washington, D.C., 196 in Baltimore, 324 in Philly, 298 in Los Angeles, 344 in Detroit, 199 in New Orleans, 433 in Chicago, 87 in Atlanta, 91 in Newark, for a total of 2,660, according to Nutter's tally.

It’s a novel comment. “My city is safe because international terrorists are afraid of the street crime.”
Major Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris?
Rick: It's not particularly my beloved Paris.
Heinz: Can you imagine us in London?
Rick: When you get there, ask me.
Captain Renault: Hmmh! Diplomatist!
Major Strasser: How about New York?
Rick: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn't advise you to try to invade.
A bit racist are we Nutter?
West Philly is solidly black.
I’d say look to Afghanistan for a harbinger of what our chances are.
In fact, the most daunting nation-building task we now face is right there in the urban poverty belt of our cities.
Sorry, but his words fall on deaf ears. I’m sure he was one of the first to join the hoodie protest. George Zimmerman is what happens to people who care about protecting their neighborhoods. My nephew had the good fortune of attending a college in his fair city. One Halloween evening he was attacked by a group of “ trick or treaters “ while riding his bicycle to his off compass apartment. They got him on the ground and preceded to kick him, fracturing his jaw and a few ribs. Not too long after he was robbed on the street in plain daylight. After this fiasco with the neighborhood watch captain, who in their right mind would want to get involved ?
