Jarrett Coleman has been taking some flak for calling Philadelphia a sh-t hole. He accused their progressive DA of being too soft on crime.
Just a few years ago the DA and the former police chief decided to turn their backs on shop lifting. Finally the merchants cried uncle loud enough to be heard. Larry Krasner the DA has responded to Coleman that the homicide rate is lower than it has been in a decade. Credit poor aim and good ER hospitals.
Coleman is my favorite pol in Harrisburg, he actually wants an accounting by Allentown's NIZ. Although his choice of words about the City Of Brotherly Love may have better chosen, he's correct about safety in Philadelphia. There are neighborhoods there, like Kensington, that most cities would not tolerate.

ReplyDeleteReally? Maybe you need to take a break from the constant Trump-bashing and do some research on what democrap policies have done to this country’s major cities.
They all have their own versions of Kensington, some much worse. They are all a direct result of an animosity towards law enforcement and trying to pick and choose what laws are worth prosecuting.
Coleman told it like it is. If anyone is offended by his comment, it’s because they are ignoring reality and want us to do the same.
