Leftovers: Averaging .87 Homicides A Day A Big Victory For Philadelphia• Only 27 people were killed this August, putting the city only 2 percent higher than last year’s homicide total. Whoo! Hip, hip, hooray! Let’s go Philly! Way to not kill a person a day last month! Somebody ought to give out an award! [Inquirer] • Upper Pottsgrove Township had one (1) man vehemently opposed to expanding the township’s open space initiative as well as it’s 1/4 percent income tax increase to help fund it. Gasp! Rather than some nice trails and parks, of course, he’d rather use his, say, $150 to buy a totally kickin’ giant American flag. [I've Made A Huge Tiny Mistake] • It’s football season starting at 8:30 tonight. Hooray. |

Shit, now Philadelphia is too lazy to kill anyone.
I like how the article headline is “A quiet August slows city homicide surge,” but the very next line begins “The 27 killings…”
Twenty-seven? That’s it? That’s barely a bloodbath.
“Murder in Philadelphia took a rest in August.”
Indeed.
