Fix it yourself and stop crying about crime because it must be what the people want since their elected officials perpetuate the crime on innocent citizens and keep getting reelected.
For whatever reason the majority of Philadelphian*s will vote Democrat. I know part of it is a big union thing, especially the construction trades, who ironically are accused of having the least amount of minority representation. The crazy part is we didn*t do too bad law & order wise with the previous 4 mayors, 3 of whom were black. But with the current mayor, who comes from 2 Street in South Philly, who*s father was a firefighter, who was a councilman who was mentored by Vince Fumo, who was originally a law & order guy, has turned out to be a huge progressive and turned 180 degrees on his old beliefs. Kenney does not represent the working man. That all came as a surprise. We all knew what we were getting with Krasner.

A lot of people are fed up, but whether they turn out to vote is another story. Time will tell.
