The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) recorded 38 total gun violence victims between Friday and Monday, including nine who died from their wounds, authorities told Fox News Digital.
"The amount of violent incidents over this holiday weekend is devastating and unacceptable," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted Monday.
What does he mean by "unacceptable?" If he isn't going to accept it, what is his plan to stop those violent guns? Or by not accepting it, does he mean that he doesn't accept the fact that people were shot?
"Our job is never done," Brown said Tuesday. "There's not a day that we don't risk our lives for all of you in this city, and we'll continue that."
Last year, Philadelphia saw record homicide numbers, while Chicago recorded a 25-year-high.
"Philadelphians deserve to be safe in their communities. My deepest sympathies go out to all those affected by this senseless violence, especially families that have lost loved ones."
Well, now that we know his deepest sympathies, as opposed to his shallowest sympathies, go out to all those affected by senseless violence, that helps a lot.
One Sunday shooting incident that occurred around 5:45 p.m. at the intersection of Market Street and 10th Street — just blocks away from Philadelphia City Hall — resulted in the arrests of five juveniles along with their violent guns.
Police recovered two angry, illegal violent guns, including one with an illegal extended magazine, in their pursuit of the juveniles, according to PPD Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.

"Those who take part in violent behavior will be apprehended; our residents and visitors will not be intimidated, and ours [sic] officers will not be deterred," Outlaw said in a Sunday tweet.
On Monday, six people were illegally shot on the 700 block of Russell St in North Philadelphia. Two of the six victims died, and two are in critical condition, according to PPD. This also sounds unacceptable.
"Two people have died, two are in critical condition, and two are expected to recover physically," the Department said in a Monday tweet. "The violence happening in our city is unacceptable, and we ask the public to not only keep the victims in your prayers, but also to share information about crime in your neighborhoods."

There is a $20,000 reward being offered for information leading to the suspect involved in Monday's deadly shooting. Law enforcement asks that anyone with information to call 911 or 215-686-TIPS.
Homicides in Philadelphia are up 3%, with 373 total homicide victims recorded so far this year compared to 361 at the same time last year.

In Chicago, police recorded 55 total shooting victims, including nine who died from their injuries, between Friday and Monday evening. Another homicide victim was fatally stabbed, according to the Chicago Police Department.
The total number of shooting victims decreased, however, by 23% compared to Labor Day Weekend last year.
In one Sunday incident, four men between the ages of 18 and 20 were shot when "an unknown offender approached the victims, produced a handgun, and fired shots." One of the 18-year-old victims was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
In the Windy City, Chicago Police Department (CPD) Superintendent David Brown bragged about "significant declines in gun violence in the city" during a Tuesday press conference. He noted that there has been 605 few violent guns shooting people so far this year and that homicides are down 15% with shootings down 19%.

Meanwhile, almost 1,000 carjacking arrests have been made in 2022 and cops have recovered 8,765 guns this year, proving the old saying that when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
"Our job is never done," Brown said Tuesday. "There's not a day that we don't risk our lives for all of you in this city, and we'll continue that."
Last year, Philadelphia saw record homicide numbers, while Chicago recorded a 25-year-high.
Thus far, 463 people have been murdered in Chicago compared to 545 at the same time last year. So the Democrats see this as a positive thing like they do with the federal budget when they lower the rate of debt rather than actually reducing it.

And as I write this post, there's a crazed gunman in Memphis shooting and killing people and live-streaming it on Facebook. Our criminal justice system has become more sympathetic to the criminal than it has for the victim. We even have an idiot Vice President who crowdfunded bail money for a killer who then went out and committed another crime.
