1. An armed society is a polite society.

2. They are reporting 3 people and the shooter dead

One at the hospital. Condolences to the victims' families. This won't be good for the city's already high murder rate. Can't wait until the new mayor is elected.

3. Regrettably, some of the suburbs are not much better....

Where I am ( in Bristol ) there is PLENTY of activity that tends to keep people from visiting the area. Too bad people don't hear about the really nice parts of Philly ( or Bucks County ) This does wonders for our image :thumbsdown:

5. Many of the suburbs are calm, but you do have spots

My area, the Collegeville area, is pretty crimeless except for maybe a few crimes at Ursinus College.

Center City, NE Philly, and South Street are pretty safe parts of the city.
