The mayor's office said signing the executive order banning weapons at Philadelphia rec centers, playgrounds, and athletic fields is scheduled for Tuesday morning:

"As long as we know you’re working to keep the guns away," said Taaijah Henderson, Fletcher's cousin."A start always means you’re trying.”

Fletcher's family and friends remembered her Monday night outside of Mill Creek Recreation Center in West Philadelphia. It’s the exact location where she lost her life, caught in crossfire, while performing her duties at a city playground earlier this month. "You can’t even walk to the store, or like my cousin, you can even work without running or losing your life," Henderson said."It’s just crazy. Philly is crazy. We just got to come together, stick together.”. That's down 1% from the same time last year, which was the deadliest on record in the city.

There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia.

Had he accomplished anything in 2 terms?

That won’t change anything. You could do this for the whole city. The only people it will hurt is the law abiding citizen trying to protect themselves.

Now does anyone think criminals are going to obey Jim Kenney’s order? Or does anyone think that if the violators are apprehended that Larry Krasner won’t release them to terrorize their community again? How many think the media are being played by Kenney as fools?

Any legal gun owner should carry regardless. A mayor can’t violate your constitutional rights as a legal gun owner. I will still carry at a rec center or athletic field because this city isn’t safe enough to not carry 24/7. Have another drink Mayor McTipsy

Bold move that will stop the violence

PCGVR Overturned by the courts in ….. 3…. 2….

Thugs don’t care about our limp Mayor’s executive order. A political stunt. What works is strong enforcement, strong prosecution and lengthy jail sentences

Good luck what a joke just more political BS

he should make murder illegal too !

That will solve everything.

At least 2 killed in Wildwood during ‘hectic’ pop-up H2oi car rally, mayor saysThe mayor of Wildwood said Saturday night's pop-up car rally remains under investigation. This was chaos! Why didn’t Gov who found it so important to send 150 state troopers to Puerto Rico, didn’t activate the national guard. Lots of manpower and tons of vehicles. The rest of the country could have covered those 150 troops that we OBVIOUSLY needed here. The residents of all these towns deserved better! They “could have” gotten better. Murphy was called! Now look back and see what he DIDNT do! Review his response and lack of action! Too much to list for 1 tweet! Not enough letters available to describe his APATHY! this activity doesn’t belong on normal streets! Do your donuts, spin outs etc on a track or open area that is designed for it ! you and your H20i organizations would have much more fun without causing destruction to a family town. so sorry that Wildwood had to deal with this

Mayor Lightfoot's Chicago: 11 Shot Friday into Saturday Morning AloneEleven people were shot, four of them fatally, Friday into Saturday morning alone in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago. The problem is sin, the only cure is Jesus Christ. Politicians can not save us, governments can not save us. No other name, but Jesus Christ alone can save us. He is coming back for His own, time is running out, believe and be saved. Rapture JesusSaves 7YearTribulation What's all the fuss! Sounds to me like an absolutly normal day in the shooting gallery previosly known as Chicago. If 11 people were shot in a grocery store it would be national news but 11 people all over the city...that’s just another day in Chicago. The most MSM will talk about this is a 27 second blurb before they talk about the Ukraine if we even get that.
