Too bad these folks didn't have a firearm to defend themselves against cowardly punks who victimize the elderly. I know this neighborhood. It was a really nice place not so long ago that is being turned out by the hoodrats who've become a plague on once peaceful and clean communities.

Obviously this was caused by easy access to guns, especially assault weapons. This is why banning all guns is the answer. I am sure these criminals would just follow more gun laws, like the follow the assault, battery, robbery, and murder laws already on the books.

Look for this scumbag to get a few years in jail, then get out on parole. Just watch, and he will do it again.

I know that neighborhood too. Even 10 years ago it wasn't a bad neighborhood. The trash is taking over Northeast Philly and is creeping up Roosevelt Blvd. If I lived in Holmesburg or the far Northeast I'd be thinking about packing it up pretty soon...

In what police first believed to be a brutal home invasion that left an elderly woman murdered and her husband badly hurt, police said Monday night that the husband will be charged with his wife's murder.
