Philadelphia Is Another Great Example

The city government for years has been talking about implementing free wi-fi in Philly. Millions of taxpayer dollars were spent researching it.

But instead of wi-fi, we have more murders in the city of brotherly love than anywhere else in the country. We should have spent the money on stopping crime. Go figure.

Would you please post your source for that statement?

»www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0921299.html has Reading, PA as the 21st unsafest city in the US and no other PA city makes the top 25 (2005).

In 2004 »www.morganquitno.com/cit04r.pdf had Philadelphia as #22 in murders with 22 per 1000 people, the worse, Camden, NJ had 60.8 per 1000.

Re: Philadelphia Is Another Great Example

My source is CBS TV station 3 in Philly. They said on Saturday that at 105, Philadelphia leads the nation in the number of homicides. They also said that we are beating NYC and that is rare.

I never said "per capita", "safe or unsafe", nor did I say 2004 or 2005. I said "we have more murders in the city of brotherly love than anywhere else in the country" because I heard it on the local news this weekend. "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics", but I give you pure numbers from 2007.
