The City of Philadelphia is experiencing the worst violent crime surge<\/a>\u00a0in its history.<\/p>\n

In a scathing opinion piece published by the\u00a0Washington Examiner<\/em>, commentary writer Christopher Tremoglie, an alumnus of the\u00a0University of Philadelphia<\/em><\/a> who has previously worked for the\u00a0Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em>, noted how incompetent city leadership<\/a> coupled with radical left-wing criminal justice policies and reforms have left Philadelphia\u2019s more than 1.5 million residents reeling from its worst violent crime surge ever. (Related: More people are rapidly leaving crime-ridden, high-cost cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Tremoglie pointed out how the Democratic Party officials and voters in Philadelphia owe the rest of the city\u2019s residents an apology for tricking them into believing that life would be better under their rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a lifelong resident of the City of Brotherly Love, its continued allegiance to Democrats boggles my mind. No matter the horrors of the reality of living in the city, Philadelphians overwhelmingly continue to vote for Democrats who just keep making things worse,\u201d wrote Tremoglie.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething has to change. It\u2019s time \u2013 well beyond time, really \u2013 for Philadelphia\u2019s Democratic voters to apologize to the rest of the city for the mess they have caused,\u201d he continued, citing crime, poverty and corruption as the main hallmarks of decades of Democratic Party rule over Philadelphia and other major urban centers in the United States. \u201cThe city\u2019s voters are to blame because they never learn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shootings becoming increasingly common in Philadelphia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of the many crimes plaguing Philadelphia\u2019s neighborhoods, shootings have become increasingly common<\/a>. This past weekend alone has seen at least six dead in Philadelphia, including a 14-year-old boy.<\/p>\n

Anthony Pinkney, 14, was shot dead<\/a> in the Overbrook neighborhood of West Philadelphia on Saturday night, March 4. He was the youngest of the six victims.<\/p>\n

Local media outlet\u00a06ABC<\/em> noted that Saturdays are typically the deadliest day of the week over the past three years, followed closely by Sundays and then Mondays. This violence has kept first responders and aid organizations like CARES busy providing emergency services and aid.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo sooner than I\u2019m leaving off my block, I get another alert of another homicide,\u201d said Melany Nelson, director of CARES and a respected community leader who has provided victim services for nearly 30 years<\/a>. \u201cThe shooting has to stop in the city of Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for city residents, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner was unable to provide any concrete solutions. During a news conference on Monday, March 6, all Krasner could provide were words of mourning for Pinkney\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awful,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s totally unacceptable that any child is ever shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Philadelphia District Attorney\u2019s Office<\/em>, as of Monday, Philadelphia has already seen 79 homicides. The city averages 1.5 homicides per day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like gun violence is happening everywhere [in the country] but it\u2019s not,\u201d said Philadelphia Councilmember Jamie Gauthier. \u201cGun violence is happening in the same place over and over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tremoglie noted that, unless something changes in the way the city\u2019s residents regularly vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, Philadelphia will only keep getting worse.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhiladelphia\u2019s voters are harming their communities,\u201d he warned. \u201cAt some point, people will have to admit that those in cities like Philadelphia who routinely vote to keep the status quo deserve the crime, poverty and misfortunes that result from their decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n
