CH 6: Shootings all over the city on the first day of the year.
Even worse...Froggy Mummers did blackface. Disqualified, and additional penalties being considered.
I don't think she officially starts until February, but I don't expect things to get any better.
While I'm not sure what the Mummers have to do with an incoming top cop three people were shot to death to kick off the year.
The mummer's whole face and head were painted black...is that blackface or part of his costume?
Kenney's statement about the black face thing was way over the top. You would have thought that these guys sodomized his daughter for crying out loud.
Sounds like a liberal dog whistle for antifa style violence in the city.
“We as a city have to come up with consequences to this type of action,” Squilla said. “How is it that you allow these few people to create the conversation when you have so many other people that are involved and doing it for the right reasons?”
Councilperson Helen Gym suggested a more radical approach.
“Philadelphia’s New Year tradition is a huge investment of city resources, time & good will which must be deserving of the thousands of residents who want a celebration of our city and its folk traditions,” Gym wrote in a tweet Thursday. “The Mummers must change and evolve — or its parade on Broad St. should end.”
