Phila. State Rep Has Not Murdered Anyone

I’ve poked fun at one Mark B. Cohen quite a few times here on this lil’ ol’ blog, but I like to think I have my limits.

For example, that treasure trove, Phillyblog, user TheAlderian — you can recognize him by his Will Ferrell avatar! — has, I think, gone past my limits.

In a thread Rep. Cohen started asking people if they had any friends of other races — of course! — the city’s murder rate came up and…

Again shame on you for being in denial, as a public leader you are directly culpable for the mass murder in this town and its ugliness. People are being murdered because of your lack of will and honesty.

Okay, for once, a defense of State Rep. Mark B. Cohen: I don’t think he’s a mass murderer. In fact, no, I am sure of it! Mark B. Cohen is not a murderer. Nor did he pull the trigger on 128 murders and, as such, is not “directly culpable.”
