Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia has achieved the highest murder rate in the country, on a per capita basis, as compared to the 10 largest cities in the United States.
As of Thursday, 314 people had been murdered in the City of Brotherly Love so far this year, KYW reported.
Homicides are up 35 percent from the same time period in 2020. The city has surpassed a number of prior total-year tallies, WPVI reported.
Murders so far in 2021 are higher than the full-year totals of six of the past 12 years.

Kenney called on the federal government to solve the problem by enacting stronger gun-safety measures.
But more than one-third of the shootings so far this year have happened in the same five zip codes in North Philadelphia, indicating the homicide rate is more of a local problem, KYW reported.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
