This should be a concern nationwide, its definitely not just Philly. I saw a brief segment on Chicago's latest attempts to reduce gun violence and the footage shown could have easily been Philadelphia- carjackings, gang violence, shootouts with cops, etc. And just like in Philadelphia its not like all of this stuff is simply bad guys shooting at bad guys.
I agree with the sentiment on the current mayor, but we do have to acknowledge most large cities have been seeing increase in violent crime over the past few years- although unlike Philly Chicago has reduced murders and shootings by a decent clip in 2022. Its pretty sad that Kenney has not launched ONE significant crime related initiative in 6 years.
