"Mean Streets"

Philly got out of hand this past year, and Mayor John Street didn't seem to care. We were narrowly beat by Detorit last year as far as murders. Also, it is kind of hard to say it was just one section of Philly. Check this link out with all the murders last year.

Its actually a really good break down on what happened. It gives you locations, although all the red dots the mark bloodshed might make it hard to read the words. You can sort, by sex, age time of day, and even what objects were used, which were mainly guns.

Mayor Street gave a press conf. on New Years all proud that the counter had been set to zero again. As, if he solved anything. A week before he was firing back at other city workers, basically saying they aren't doing anything about it. They blasted back saying he his the mayor and should be telling them what to do. It was a battle of the egos, but no one cared it seemed about trying to stop the killings.

Street, doesn't care too much because he can't run again. Even if he did, I am sure he would win, because the democrats have convinced many people that they are the people party. Certainly, not in this case given the fact almost all of his staff were crooks. He is either the most bumbling mayor who can't figure out all the stuff that goes on under his nose, or the most protected corrupt mayor who has his soliders protect him.
