I'll tell y'all something frigging weird: [View all]
There is one city, my town of origin, which Orangina hasn’t mentioned: Philadelphia. We have a ton of shootings, plenty of street and retail crime, assaults, and the place really is a mess. Not a word. Black female (his favorite) mayor: not a word. A city council historically consisting of, I’ll be polite, sub-par individuals. Not a word. No call for federal troops.
I’m perplexed. Maybe they forgot about us.
Or: maybe they realize what would happen if they showed up. Might be a problem.
