Looks like dismissive drug policies and multi-generational welfare dynasties isn't working very well in Philadelphia.
Quite honestly, seems like in many big cities that are usually Democratic there is just a moral cancer where it's trendy to disrespect one another, there is no sense of communication, they have very few law enforcement or treatment resources because it's going to pensions for public servants who sit in their porches and go on vacation of the taxpayer dime.
Most urban areas seem to be a nightmare these days that glamourize violent rap music, encourages drug use, encourages people on welfare to have as many children as possible to get bigger checks from welfare programs.
To bad, America can't go back to the morals, sense of community and commonsense culture of the 1950s or 1960s.
You do not have to be a genius to figure out where most of the crime and by whom is being committed.
Public housing bankrupts all cities eventually. Housing assistance should be of temporary assistance to
help one get a leg up and not a multi-generational entitlement. Forced military service by all young men 18
of age and unemployed provides discipline and job training as the key to the future.
Back to the 1950s? Are you kidding? Liberals tell us that those times were terrible.
Can you imagine "Leave It To Beaver" today? Ward would be absent. June would be a strung out, unemployed crack *****. Wally would be the local drug dealer with baggy pants, a bunch of chains, and a hat worn backwards. The Beave, of course, would be a transgender kid who has to see a shrink every other day, having been damaged by Ward's toxic masculinity (before he left the family and was sent to prison).
For Black people, the 1950s were bad. Being told you couldn't live in certain areas because of your skin color. Jim Crow segregation in the South. Constant discrimination all over the USA. Tell me again why I should want to live in the 1950s.
Meanwhile, in the news, murders are on the sharp rise in the conservative, Republican paradise of Tulsa. As of April there were 20 murders compared with 12 in April 2018. https://www.tulsapolice.org/content/...mbers-ucr.aspx
This further proves that neither Democrats or Republicans can solve the problems of violence in the inner cities. One thing I know about Tulsa is the amount of gangs in that city. Oklahoma locks up more people per capita than most other states. And yet, it doesn't deter killers.
Look at their DA and their Mayor and what do you expect. But I did get a laugh when they spun it for the media saying they've been successful in getting high powered guns off the street and educating legal gun owners on the need to secure their firearms.
Its just a matter of time until some police get shot and the Chief of Police tears into the Mayor and DA like they're tissues at a snot party.
Good lord, If OP keeps on, it'll be EVERY STATE/CITY that hurt him/her as a child.
It must be AMAZING to live in a utopia like OP, where nothing negative ever happens, and everyone is on the same page, about everything, all the time, always.
Who could have EVER imagined, that where there are more people, there can be more problems? It's almost like places less populated have lower crime rates. What a head scratcher.

Life and death in Trump's America. Is it great again now?
Filthydelphia, Bodymore, Chicongo, and Detroit - all cities dominated by black Democrats obsessed with racial politics and following the orders of the white party masters......
