I’m old enough to remember when Overbrook was primarily Jewish.

Maybe it included a few “teens” who have been part of the flash mobs looting area stores?

This is why when leftists tell you that most of the mass shootings in the US take place in suburban high schools, you have to inform them that most take place in inner city neighborhoods.

They don’t get any media exposure because they don’t fit the leftist media agenda.

I figure every time one of them is killed, it saves taxpayers $500K to one million dollars, because it eliminates all the crime, the victims, all the incarcerations, all the prosecutions, all the medical care, all the EBT, Section 8, welfare, etc. over what would have been the course of their worthless lives.

My first job back in the 1970's was at the Acme distribution center at 59th & Upland Way. I walked one mile each way to/from the Overbrook station (went through a lot of shoes that way). Lots of orthodox Jews and closer to the warehouse was mostly middle class blacks. Never felt unsafe at all.

Perhaps its changed.

We had a shooting in SW DC a few years ago... Two shwartzas unloaded a 9mm magazine apiece on each other at a range of maybe 25 yards. Both were fine; one of them hit a car. The other hit a tree.

They flee their creation then vote new states such as Virginia into destruction.

Did Wiley E. Coyote get free shipping because was a bulk buying repeat customer?

Three or more people hit is defined by law enforcement as a mass shooting

“In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air””

There are about five of these so-called mass shootings per day around the nation...
