WHY?
Because THE BLACK SPORTS GUY CAN SEE.. we have four eyes and we can see clearly. We dont mix words and we wonder about and actually care about society as a whole. Everyone.. except of course any "BLANK"-fundamentalist.. you know how we feel about them.
SO anyway.. I've been SCREAMING about the insane murder rate in Philadelphia for about 4-5 weeks. Sometime back when I read about a woman killing her child by using it as a bat against her boyfriend, I spoke with the Professor and we both said that SOMETHING is really really wrong in Philadelphia but WHY isnt it making NATIONAL NEWS... because they needed Batman, Superman and even Aquaman about 12 weeks ago! The place has a violence level that is surely the work of some diabolical plan hatched by the Joker, Riddler and Penguin (and trust me, I know Gotham City is supposed to be New York, but if you've been to Philly, you know the Dark Knight is somewhere chained to a wall in PHILLY.. and he needs someone to free him because fools are droppin like old women in a war zone).
FINALLY the AP is writing about this madness, FINALLY, and it really bothers me that it took them this long. PHILLY NEEDS NATIONAL attention. We all sat down and wrote and discussed the horrors of V-Tech and its run in with insanity in the form of Cho Seung-hui (I dont even care if I spelled that right) and I screamed on every board I could find that 32 people killed is something that Philly had accomplished on the 32 day of the YEAR! WHY are guns and violence suddenly so 'in vogue' to discuss when a nut loses it, when the truth is, we should have been discussing the horrors of Philadelphian streets in the second week of February!
We sat and wrote and discussed Imus and his off color comments about some nappy headed chicks at Rutgers (again, my problem was he called them 'hos' not the nappy headed part) even though Imus hasnt said anything politically correct since his second week of work. Jesse J and Ally Sharpieton headed off to Philly to get Imus fired and somehow managed to miss all of the blood in the streets. These are our 'negro' leaders and they stood and stamped in the middle of MURDER CENTRAL USA and instead of trying to march and figure out how to tone down a lot of insanity in Philly..they preferred to try to (and they succeeded) get Imus fired.
WHAT??? So if you feel like reading the article, here is the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18278063/
I'll make no snap judgements here regarding why this story is so late because I'm happy it is finally getting AP attention because perhaps that will help Philly get attention from some people who can figure out how a society of people can erode to taking each other out at a clip of more than one a day.
NOTE at the current rate, you'd have a longer life expectancy in IRAQ.

ABSOULUTELY UNACCEPTABLE..what is going on in Philadelphia..(?) I couldn't agree more strongly with your entire post. WTF is wrong with Phila-ILL-adelphia!!!
I know the weather f'ing SUCKS. I know it's freezing one minute, then unbearably scorching hot the next. I know it rains CONSTANTLY. I know the sun NEVER comes out (probably because it's too AFRAID), I know it stinks. Yes, I know "nobody's smiling" in Philly..BUT..All this is STILL no excuse to turn this or any American city into a war-zone..LITERALLY.
Ricci, your query is on point.. How.. WHY..did it takes so long for the national press to shine a light on this disgraceful, abhorent story.
Crying about a mass murder in Virginia is understandable. but who's crying for the 120+ people in Philly who have been MURDERED since January?? So far, only the victims' parents have been crying. ..and that's sad.
Personally, I have no respect for the gun crime that is going on in America's streets. The U.S. staunchly encourages gun ownership..thus, staunchly supporting gun practice and gun SHOTS. You can't have it both ways. "Hey everybody! BUY A Glock 9mm..! ..uhh..but dont kill anybody.." WELL, WHAT THE F@#$ DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO WITH IT!!!"
That is the hypocrisy and ourtageousness that we find our little Country in and it's absolutely UN-ACCEPTABLE.
SECONDLY.. The idiots in Philadelphia that allow this kind of carnage need to be held responsible. This whole "stop snitching" bullshit has GOT TO STOP! Who the Hell do y'all think you're protecting??!! I'll tell you WHO: A bunch of savage, irrational, homicidal, genocidal, MANIACS..who are making the Ku Klux Klan look like a goddamn BOOK CLUB!!
SHAME ON YOU Philadelphia! SHAME ON YOU! Almost every murder victim in that city has been BLACK. Did you hear me Philadelphia? B-L-A-C-K! As in African-American. As in Colored. As in Negroe. As in Brother. As in Homeboy. As in Homey. As in My Nigga. B-L-A-C-K.
You're a bunch of fuckin savages and you need to be called on it. "stop-snitchin" my black ass! How bout.."STOP KILLING EACH OTHER!"
I'm originally FROM PHILADELPHIA, born and raised...Now, I'm like Lucas..I live "FAR FAR away" from there. I saw the writing on the wall and jetted..LITERALLY.
..And I'm so glad I moved out of that shit-hole, I dont know what to do.

Yeah, its such an old cliche that it is actually funny now: "black on black crime".
Listen up Mr. Scared White Guy with a gun, BLACK PEOPLE KILL BLACK PEOPLE your fears any otherwise are without merit. Again, lets go over this slowly: Black on Black crime and if it were removed there would only be random black or white crime. The drop in number of violent crime would be remarkable.
Think about gun control without prejudice of "if we cant have guns then police cant has guns" as if us having guns have decreased the random AND I REPEAT random rogue crazy cop! Its all rhetoric used to make you scared. Be MEN and WOMEN and demand that this type of stuff gets eliminated from a culture that would prefer the wonderful sight of a bloody dying body to a naked man and woman enjoying sexual intimacy.
Thats were U live. Thats where you were born and potentially where your children were born, a country that would prefer to see Rambo kill several hundred people over a three movie series vs. Debbie Do(ing)es Dallas.
I'll link the Pacino movie, which is actually hilarious to me since he has been in one of the most violent movies, portraying one of the most violent characters in cinematic history.
Ju know wha ahm sayin mayle?
..put the guns DOWN.
