[LeonardoBjj]

May 27 (Reuters) - Two people were killed and nine others, including three teenagers, injured in a shooting at Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park on Memorial Day, police said on Tuesday.

All the nine injured in the Monday night shooting are in stable condition. A male and a female, both adults, were the deceased victims, a police officer told a media briefing.

A large number of adults were present at the park, according to the police.

"We have not recovered any weapons at this time," the officer said. No arrests have been made.

"This is significant. It's Memorial Day... we understand the significance of this event and we will make sure to provide an update on Tuesday."
Memorial Day, traditionally observed on the last Monday of May, is a federal holiday in the United States dedicated to honoring and mourning military personnel who have died in the performance of their duties.

Tragic.

Tried seeing if there was more details but there really is not right now. Can’t find anything about the perpetrator or even what weapons they were using. There’s a lot quite about “rapid gunfire” but that doesn’t really mean anything without context.

Right now it seems like they’re at large. It seems weird to me that the police and news are not releasing a description or anything.

Chicago on Father’s Day and July 4th “hold my beer.” Not sure why Father’s Day is a violent weekend, maybe because these violent thugs grew up without a father because studies have shown that fatherless homes are more prone to poverty, which leads to crime, which leads to violence.

Memorial Day is for veterans, not gang violence soldiers

Another thing I hate about Philly is the da, larry krasner. He has said he blames other states and the nra for the violence in his city, yet he refuses to prosecute felons caught with firearms because they are almost always black or Mexican. Felons with firearms and juveniles are most often your shooters. His sense of social justice because of skin color leads to more violence. He is such a fucktard

 

[F1980]

There's hundreds of thousands of them but good thing they caught 2

Hopefully the Sherdog Sleuths can figure out political affiliation and race pronto so I can start assigning blame.

Philadelphia PA is another blue run city with a blue DA that does not believe in prosecuting crime. As a result murders in Philadelphia are much higher since 2018. I can imagine as a result the high murder rate will continue in the city of Brotherly Love.

The revolt against woke DAs hits Philly’s Larry Krasner, and will continue​

Until crime goes down, the public will not rest. Krasner and his ilk need to correct course or face the consequences.

....It’s also one more sign of rising anger across the nation over prosecutors who don’t even pretend to want to fight crime.

Philly is in the midst of a crime crisis. It had 499 murders in 2020, 562 homicides in 2021 — a grim record — and 2022 is on pace to be even worse. The ugly numbers represent a staggering 57% increase over the same period pre-pandemic.

Krasner’s soft-on-crime policies are the driving force. Murders have gone up every year Krasner has been in office. Other offenses — like shootings and carjackings — are also skyrocketing. He’s gone so far as to create a special unit to make sure that 18- to 25-year-old offenders (i.e. one of the main age groups committing crimes) will get lenient treatment, not prison or other criminal punishments. ....

It's because it's warm , people have the day off , people have their family/posse with them and people been drinking all day. Those are the exact conditions you need for a good violent night in any urban area.

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said police have confirmed they are searching for three shooters, after finding three types of bullet casings at the scene.

Well there was at least 3 weapons used.. if it was different people it sounds more "organized"
