We are fairly certain that if Martin Luther King came back today and saw how the legacy of the Civil Rights struggle was being manipulated to scare off black voters from pulling the lever for an accomplished and more-than-qualified black candidate — well, he’d probably never stop vomiting. (Yes, we are talking to you, John Street) We’d like to see a commercial standing up for the ‘rights’ of the dead, namely the right to life — arguably the most civil right of them all. The murder rate in the city of Philadelphia just rolled over to 139 140 dead in the first four and a half months of 2007. Among the following are the names, dates and locations behind that statistic. And remember folks, all these people died on John Street’s watch:
