A2TP Ep 46 - 911 Philly

The City of Brotherly Love. That’s what Philadelphia, PA is affectionately called by those near and far. For the first time in recorded history, the same city is on target to exceed the homicide rate set in 1990 of 500 murders. No, not a typo. By the end of 2021, as people around the world are celebrating New Years Eve, a record-breaking murder rate will be recorded. Killadelphia, Pistolvania is another moniker attributed by those who choose to elate in the casualties spread across the city known for cheesesteaks, water ice, & soft pretzels. At this point, it seems like we are out of options when thinking of a plan to stop the violence. As common as talks of gun control spread over news channels, more talks of newly permitted gun owners spread across neighborhoods from North Philly to Northeast Philly, from Germantown to Fishtown, from South Street to Broad Street. Legal guns are just as widespread as illegal weapons. Is this necessary for protection? Or is this the loophole to flooding the streets with AK-47, AR-15, & more of the alphabet soup of weaponry? Arming oneself is a reaction to the violence, but how can be proactive in getting a grip on this generation before it’s too late? Martial law may be frowned upon but is this our best hope? Nobody wants to live amongst military equipment as if it’s a war zone. But that’s exactly what it appears to be. Men, boys, girls, women & unborn babies - nobody seems to be off limits. Something’s gotta give. It’s an emergency. State of emergency. City of emergency. My city needs help! Share your thoughts on what we can do to make a change. Share and subscribe.
