11 people shot across the city since Saturday.

I'd love to know what the reason was for the shooting.

One neighborhood gets better, another gets worse. Stop telling me Mayfair 'looks fine.'
You know when Mayfair was 'fine'? Before Section 8 took hold and brought all of it's joys to the area.

I don't think Philly is any worse that any other major U.S. city, and n fact better than many. Philly is in fact #88 on this list of highest violent crime cities. I can not vouch for the validity of the source, nor the analysis, but seems to be in line on a per capita basis.

I don't blame you, too much 'culture' here in Philadelphia.

They should have been at a job.

Who's the dope that signed off on this? It's just a bad idea to have 14 year olds on a dating site with adults.

Well, I do note that were I to move back to my hometown (#13), I'd be at greater risk of violent crime, and at even greater risk in #3 St. Louis.

But I also note that both Anchorage and Nashville place higher on this list, and I sure don't hear people warning others away from either of those cities.

I'm only two years younger than you are, but at least one person I know has called me "the young elder."

I don't go out like I used to either, but I think I still have a higher tolerance for crowds and noise, and I'm not as easily rattled by news of mayhem.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I had gotten caught in the crossfire of one of the shootings that have taken place on my block and the one next to it (counting the murder that took place across the street from me two Sunday overnights ago, six in as many years, and three of those six in 2016, two of those one month apart at opposite ends of my block), but I know that these affairs are spats between people who know each other, and I'm not involved with that crowd. The murders that have occurred weren't the drive-by, sprays-of-gunfire type.

I am, however, also male. That too may make a difference.
