The mayor’s crackdown has placed him in the center of a simmering debate about how black community leaders should respond to violence within their own community. On one side are those who admire the mayor’s take-no-prisoners rhetorical style and use of police force, while others say this approach lets the mayor off the hook for failing to address the needs of young black Philadelphians.

Urban Mad Max brought to you courtesy of LBJ’s Great Society and half a century of leftist dominated cultural and watermelon-union-inspired anti-industrial revolution (think of harnessing that energy in a factory if it weren’t regulated, taxed, and or unionized out of the country).
Former industrial heartland decaying from within along with the de facto Mexican invasion colonizing the Southwest while a trillion dollars and thousands of lives has been wasted trying to civilize the theocracy-inherent retrograde Islamic wastelands. If that were in a fiction novel of the fifties, it would seem surreal. Rand was an optimist!
The next stages could be, Wiemar Republic style currency destruction followed by fascism. Some of the comments above indicate a hope for fascist-style mob shooting proclivity. It will never turn out that simple or in a way that doesn’t affect virtually everyone.
