The Nightmare on Market Street, Shirley Parker

[@Tangy-ho4hw]

It's not targeting minority communities, it's the fact that a high rate of crimes occur in minority communities. My son attends Temple University, and I'm signed up for TU Alerts via text. I receive at least two alerts every other day of shootings, assaults and robberies taking place behind North Broad Street, 1600 block and up. That area of Kensington is home to two schools, Frances Willard Elementary School and Co well Middle Magnet School. The people claiming she lacks empathy and compassion, what about the empathy and compassion for the large population of children who have to witness the squalor, day time open drug use, nakedness and open defecation and urination while they're going to and from school. Heroine and fentanyl are illegal substances and should not be allowed open use, especially in an area populated by families and schools.

I am a republican and from what I understand about Ms Parker basically acts like a conservative when it comes to protecting various communities from crime.

Ms parker and the interviewer look good as black women

[@Dumebi-c7g]

I wish I could enjoy this, but my constitutional and property rights have been denied repeatedly. I’ve been singled out on the block while many of my neighbors continue to violate codes. Been falsely accused of being of being transgender as well as denied proper medical attention amongst many other things.

[@missj8145]

[@gatvestreet9248]

@@missj8145 she was appointed mayor. To replace the previous dead Mayor. So Missj8146 she is the epitome of a DEI hire. Wigs and all.
