Chester Beats Detroit, Chicago

Five people were shot in Chester, Pa. early yesterday, July 1. It appears none of them are going to die hence the death toll for murders in the city with a population of 29,972 will remain at  16 or 53 per 100,000.

Chester now beats Detroit — no longer a top 10 city  ranking a mere 18th with a population of 681,000 — which had a murder rate last year of 48 per 100,000.

Philly, last year, had 246 murders for a rate of 16 per 100,000.

For those who are convinced that banning guns is the way to safety, it should be noted that murders dropped 18 percent  in Chicago, after the federal courts ruled that the State of Illinois infamous law prohibiting concealed carry of firearms was unconstitutional. One could say that is just coincidence but a similar thing happened in Philadelphia when Harrisburg forced the city to accept concealed carry in 1995 when Philly had 432 murders and in Washington D.C. after the Supreme Court overturned that city’s strict gun laws.

It should be noted that having access to guns is not a guarantee of safety though as Chester residents obviously now have the right to them.

The problem in Chester is a sick and twisted culture. The solution is stop glorifying thugs and start glorifying scholars. It’s to stop  finding excuses for single moms and baby daddies and to start honoring fathers and mothers who insist on having fathers in the home.

But Democrats do like their easy and judgement-free answers even if imposing them actually makes things worse.

  1. The newly formed Philadelphia Union soccer team which plays its games in Chester was having an awful time it could not beat or even score against the leagues worse teams.

    Then one night the desperate coach was watching the news and sees an an Afghan kid kicking armament with great accuracy.”Hey I’ll bet this kid could kick a soccer ball the coach thinks.

    So, he brings him to the States and makes him the team’s star center forward.. And the team goes on to win the national champion. The young Afghan is hailed as the most valuable, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.

    “Mom,” he says into the phone, “I just won the national championship. I was named most valuable player!”

    “I don’t want to talk to you,” the old Muslim woman says. “You deserted us. You are not my son!”

    “I don’t think you understand, Mother,” the young man pleads. “I’ve won the greatest sporting event in the world. I’m here among thousands of my adoring fans.”

    “No! Let me tell you!” his mother retorts. “At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn’t get raped!”

    The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says, “I will never forgive you for making us move to Chester!
