And then you have this one too. We can market this: come for the weddings, stay for the robberies.

Police say the groom was getting some fresh air during his wedding reception when he was robbed on South 3rd Street.

Sad to see and hopefully this does not continue and even worse, escalates.

How do people feel about Cherelle Parker? I hear a few local pacs may back her for mayor. I have no particular opinion of her either way but she’s currently spearheading the police funding bill which perhaps puts her in the more moderate camp?

The city as a whole is a disaster and the city government is useless in all reality, we need Nutter back!

This — Violence interactive map is interesting, it really shows the hot spots, and amount of shootings that have not had a court case, which is very low.

A lot of times we just focus on the deaths that occur from shootings which seems high, I think a bigger thing we should all be looking at is the actual amount of shootings which this year was 1,926 a number that should be very alarming.

Also another interesting thing to note would be that under Krasner there have been more court cases for shootings then the years before.
