There’s a lot in the war zone that Philadelphia has become that makes people sick, including a whole YouTube channel dedicated to videos of strung-out addicts littering Philly’s streets. But the video that’s going viral of a parking enforcement officer being shot in the head as he did his job on Black Friday looks more like something we see from the Third World crap holes, and not on the streets of America.
It happened in the City of Brotherly Love, not far from where many of those addicts hang out. Police have made no arrests yet.

The Daily Mail is running with the story that most American news organizations would rather cover…with a pillow.
A Philadelphia parking authority officer was shot in the head in broad daylight by a thug in the City of Brotherly Love last Friday.
The suspect was caught on a surveillance camera walking up behind the 37-year-old male parking official and shooting him in the head at point-blank range at 3.50pm on the 4500 block Frankford Avenue the day after Thanksgiving.
The officer, who was on duty at the time of the crime, is seen in video footage immediately collapsing onto the sidewalk before help arrives.
He is now in stable condition and the PPA is hopeful he will make a full recovery, having primarily been injured in his shoulder and ear.
Police are still investigating the incident and have not yet made any arrests, but believe the victim was a ‘target’.
This is Philadelphia, where crime remains utterly out of control and getting worse thanks in part to the Soros-funded prosecutor whose policies have shown more concern for violent criminals than for victims.
Crime has surged in Philadelphia over the last handful of years, including a 23 percent rise year-over-year in the total number of crimes. One Twitter user, after viewing the footage of the parking officer being shot, dubbed the birthplace of liberty a ‘war zone.’
The Pennsylvania legislature voted to impeach DA Larry Krasner last month and the Senate just this week scheduled the actual trial to potentially remove him from office.
Meanwhile, drugged-out zombies still wander the streets in the Kensington neighborhood day and night, buying and selling drugs and shooting up in broad daylight.
In response to the city’s problems, Philadelphia’s mayor Jim Kenney and the city council have exhibited classic blue city leadership. Rather than working to clean up his city’s streets, address its poor leadership, the lousy underperforming public schools and the city’s raging violent crime, they’re busy defunding the police and blaming law-abiding gun owners as the source of Philly’s problems. And the mayor made sure to blame the NRA when a felon with an illegal gun shot six cops.
Meanwhile the local legacy dead-tree publication says that all the city really needs are more libraries and working streetlights. Maybe the Inquirer’s editors need to spend more time in the real world and see the hellhole their city has become.
