If Only We Could Make The City One Big Church

It’s been a tough year, violence-wise, for Philadelphia. 400-odd murders and such will do that.

But it hasn’t been all bad, according to State Rep. Curt Thomas. While proposing new legislation to restrict guns and make offenders work in prison, etc., he also points out there is one place where there hasn’t been any murders. He tells KYW 1060’s Steve Tawa:

While there have been more than 400 homicides this year in Philadelphia, State Representative Curt Thomas says there has not been one act of violence inside a house of worship: ”Our places of worship have remained sacred ground.”

And the Spectrum. Nobody’s been killed at the Spectrum.
