OH please. These people aren't disrepecting him, they are beating up innocent people and killing them. If he can't get control of this city, his career is fucked anyway. From what he is saying, he's not even thinking of his political future, just wanting to stop the violence.
Police Continue To Investigate Fatal Old City Beating, Mayor Nutter Offers Condolences « CBS Philly
The horrific beating death of 23-year-old Kevin Kless caught the attention of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
Nutter spoke with the grieving mother of the murdered Temple University graduate, who was beaten to death this weekend during a late night attack in Old City.
An emotional Mayor Nutter said he had “a very heartfelt” phone conversation with Kendall Kless in upstate New York, in which he expressed his condolences for the beating death of her son.
Nutter is taking a wrong approach. He is appealing to parents to control their children. It is more than obvious that the parents have no such interest. They either don't care or approve. In any case, as the above instance shows, these guys were in their 20s and not subject to parental control.
If Philadelphia is allowed, unimpeded, to fall into a state of lawless anarchy it will not be the only one.
So just sending in the National Guard will fix everything? I somehow doubt it, it may fix security for a while but how long can we have the Guard stay there?
Until the city is under control. Treat it like any other riot. Or, have law abiding people form armed vigilante groups. At some point in time they will anyway. That point is pretty close I would suspect.
Control and law & order are for crucial for any society, we have to do what it takes, but how bad does it have to get for the Guard to go in?
