Given that the Philadelphia Police Department already had mugshots of the fine young men who committed the Roxborough High School shooting, the following story from The Philadelphia Inquirer isn’t that much of a surprise. Since juvenile records are normally sealed, we’ll probably never get the story as to for what those young gentlemen were first arrested, unless some good person who can get access to those records leaks the information.
Three teens suspected in the Roxborough shooting committed another murder the day before, police say
Police believe three of the teens responsible for the Roxborough High School shooting committed a separate, unrelated fatal shooting the day before.

Three of the teens accused of shooting five young football players, killing one, outside Roxborough High School in September are expected to be charged with murder in connection with another fatal shooting the day before, police said Friday.
Troy Fletcher, 15, and Zyhied Jones, 17, could face the new murder charges as early as Friday afternoon for the killing of 19-year-old Tahmir Jones in North Philadelphia on Sept. 26, said Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore.
Police also expect to charge Dayron Burney-Thorne, 16, who is wanted in the Roxborough case but remains a fugitive, with an additional murder charge once he is caught.
Around 2 p.m. on Sept. 26, police say, Tahmir Jones was walking in front of his father’s home on the 600 block of North 13th Street when three shooters jumped out of a car and shot him more than 20 times. He was rushed to Jefferson Hospital, where he died a short time later.
Jones had just earned his GED and was working in a construction apprenticeship program, his mother Theresa Guyton has said.
Police stated that the only known connection between the murder of Mr Jones and the Roxborough shootings is the identity of the suspects, and that it is possible that Mr Jones murder was a case of mistaken identity. The Inquirer report stated that shell casings recovered at Roxborough have been forensically linked to three weapons used in “other events.”

Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News reported via Twitter about what was apparently a gun battle in the Frankford neighborhood. By the time was all said and done, over 170 shell casings were found by police.
UPDATE: Back at overnight shooting scene at Coral, Auburn & William Streets off Frankford Ave. @PhillyPolice counted over 150 bullet shells. Found 20 more in daylight, including Rifle rounds. 170+ bullet shells far outnumbered by orange needle caps @FOX29philly pic.twitter.com/9QbYv3iMhr

This is the culture of the combat zones of Philadelphia! 170 or more shell casings found, but “far outnumbered” by orange needle caps.
To fix the violence, you have to fix the drug problem, and the cultural problem that enables people to use drugs, and think that blowing away your enemies, or even just someone who has pissed you off in the moment, is a good idea.

The “Progs” believe that the ghetto defectives are the result of “White Supremicy”, so they tolerate the brutal violence and death as the pain of transition. They are willing to tolerate the chaos for generations. Don’t tolerate the blood shed.
There are two distinct segments of the “Black” population. The Ashante, Yoruba, Igbo, and Dahomey sold non-productive “defectives” into the slave trade. I suspect that those ended up in the Democratic “Ghettos”. In our area are several Black communities with virtually no violent crime. Some are “smart” and/or prosperous, some aren’t. They are all “Human”. By and large, we got the dregs of West Africa. The results in their descendants should be no surprise.
The problem isn’t “race”, it is the result of the tribal selection process. The Democrats bought the tribal trash. The selection process provided an impulsive, language impaired, criminal, un-cooperative population. Their descendants make up the Democratic hell-holes we have today.
