Man gunned down while visiting Philadelphia to mourn shooting death of 'Brotherly Love' singer

[@worldwarz9317]

Reason why I never went back to Philadelphia to visit after I left. Black people telling me I'm overreacting and the crime isn't that bad. They're conditioned to the crime that is why it isn't that bad to them. They make it normal When it shouldn't be. When you live in a world without people getting shot and robbed and raped all day then Philadelphia crime, any act of violence is bad and not an environment you want to revert back to after you have peace of mind. Don't ask me to readjust my mindset and pay to travel to a place where I need to be on high alert every minute of every day. Where the level of self hate and ego is at an all time high. Maybe something you can live with but there are other ways to live that are much more suited for long term mental and psychical health. Peace ✌️

[@isaact.jackson-surefoundat1107]

Born in North Philly, grew up in Uptown. If you are from there you know that Philly has always been violent, at least from what I experienced. I moved away with family still up there and now with all that's been going on for a while I don't visit my family as much. They usually come see me. You have to pray and keep your head on a swivel up there. Even with that someone could still pull up on you but now the difference is no one is squaring off, or even rolling on you - they shootin'. I can't live like that.

So he's back for his friends funeral and he's found dead at one in the morning in the streets he moved "away" from due to the violence and killing that occurs daily. Obviously he was involved in nefarious things. His body was found and a loaded gun was also there. Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out.

The shooter was 22 years young And already a felon before this., he served 4 years of a 7 years sentence.. Word is he snitched and the police detectives already knew he had multiple bodies, but no way to charge him, thats why they needed us so bad, cuz they wanted to let his violent butt go once he snitched on some people just hustling n making money. Not only that in the court room their little gang banging friends was taking pictures of me and my friend while we has on the stand , forces to point at the shooter. They were sending the pictures out to their homies offering $10,000 to kill each of us. I Was the only witness and he was the victim, if we died dude would have just walked. They also had pictures of my girls house, her moms house, my moms work , my moms car, my car, my apartment. I had moved to another close by city and sold that car. And thats why I didn't want to snitch , even tho they shot my friend for no reason, because I know the police dont worry about our safety, they the reason these young men were able to get all this information on us And then to put us in the same room as them and all their gang, its just CRAZY!. Its messed up, they must had been following us after all those court dates.

I have to disagree with you on that one. A prior drug conviction shouldn’t have anything to do with a possession of a firearm unless it’s trafficking or meth/fentanyl.

R.i.p to the young man. We need far harsher sentencing on these criminals & jail cells in total isolation for violent criminals with the harsh conditions.

[@GRIMSREVENGE253]

Important message from Grim... Funny how we hear about 10 of these stories every year then after a few months it just blows away in the wind. Nobody really going after the root of all the evil in the world. it's always business as usual in a short matter of time. This world is totally desensitized to these types of crimes and the fake outrage is now just annoying. You do know there's a reason for this. You do know there's a cycle in place. You do know society contributes to this. You do know no matter how great you think Obama was he never once address the complete destruction of the male race. When a person do try to shine any kind of light on how the wicked controls the power and the genocide of the male race leaving nothing but wolves and wolves in sheep clothing the powers that be will silence that person through strength of numbers so the evil and destruction can continue. The part everybody wants to block out is monsters are not born but made. People really act like Aileen Wuornos just woke up one morning and said..... you know what i just feel like shooting truck drivers today. We failed her when she was a child, and she came back for revenge as an adult just like every other violent criminal in our sordid history. To accept this fact is to accept our own failure as a human race and the reckoning we have bought on ourselves .....GRIM

[@hotrodford4274]

Some Valid points Grim ! Over 320 killed in Philly since January ! Only time you heard from the " Saviour " Obama was when a Minority was allegedly killed by another race. He would then rush to judgment before any facts were revealed. I truly believe that he set back race relations 20 years or so , instead of making a point to try and combat like you said the genocide ( of the black race by black men ) .

It's not a gun problem. I own two handguns and they've never done anything on their own. It's NOT the police's job to stop every gang banging thug. It's NOT. Philly wanted to curtail the police department a couple years ago, remember? You get what you vote for. You have a violent and shitty city with corrupt leadership and people who mistrust and hate the cops and if I was a cop in Philly I wouldn't give a shit either. NOT the fault of the police that so many bastard children and running around killing people. They respond to crime and we all know if they ever implemented something like stop and frisk you'd all be SCREAMING racism, and everyone knows it. Live with it; you wanted it. Defund the police, remember.

You got what you voted for Philly. Thanks for democratic policies and BLM rhetoric for making the 13% out of control every hour of every day nationwide.

[@KEPoles]

The people of Philadelphia are under attack. Families are suffering. This has nothing to do with BLM or Democratic policies. It is about guns being funneled into the hands of the ignorant. There are too many guns being sold to the unenlightened. They do not vote nor go to BLM rallies. They just use guns because they are easy and plentiful. When I think how just 2 years ago, sportsman were complaining about the ammunition stores being empty and now these unpracticed amateurs using 50 shots to kill one person, I am disgusted. This is a war against the people. See it for what it is. The guns must go.
