Mayor Finally Introduced To His Police Commissioner
 |
And, apparently their solution is to ban alcohol or something.
A couple of recent shooting incidents drew special attention during the meeting with Mayor John Street: "I am really concerned about bars and the proliferation of shootings and violence that are taking place in bars. We had another triple shooting in a bar over the weekend. We had a triple homicide in a bar the weekend before that."
Hey, the mayor's doing something, everybody! Gather around, this is about as common as a full solar eclipse or the installation of a new pope.

Street shouldn't appear in public unless he's flanked by Alycia Lane and she's wearing a bikini. That should improve his public image.

About the only thing this gentleman, and I use that term very loosely here, has done is made David Dinkins look competent.
As far as his overall performance, he is not in the same league as Sharpe James.

There are enough guns in this country for every person to own one AND have left overs. Guns don't wear out, so why ban them?
Crime and shootings in this city, like all US cities are NOT the result of a gun problem. Its a povery problem, and an education problem, and a social problem.

As long as he keeps prohibition to "those neighborhoods" and it doesn't effect non-armed (save pepper spray) alcoholics like me in Center City I'm fine.
