| BLOOD IS
spilling at a record rate - not only on the streets
of Philly - but in supposedly friendlier locales,
according to police statistics. From the land of
Mickey Mouse to the mid-Western epicenter of NASCAR
racing, murder is on the rise.
Even New York City is seeing a 6 percent rise this year.
Sunny Orlando, Fla., site of the world's most popular
theme park, broke its 1982 homicide record
with its 37th killing on September 5, 2006. The '82 count was 36 deaths.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis is on track to exceed its 1998
murder record of 162.
As of September 5, 2006, Little Rock, Ark., is one homicide away from exceeding
its 2005 tally.
Philadelphia police said 239 people have been victims of
homicide as of September 2006,
Compared to 210 in 2005.
As of December 10, 2006, Philadelphia has seen
the Blood shed
of 384 victims.
Enough is enough ... |
