The UK papers pick up all the local stories like this so they can justify their no guns agenda. It makes the modern day United States look the fictional wild west with guns blazing and blood in the streets.
Philadelphia is close to the UK as far as gun laws.

That's the SOP. Black on White crime is only reported locally if at all. White on Black crime is reported nationally. Same with gun crime. Any misuse of a gun is reported nationally, and self-defense use of a gun is reported locally if at all. This is not an accident, it's the media playbook, and it severs the "progressive" agenda.

It is often less about race than it is about guns and self-defense. They also don't report nationally when Blacks use a gun in self-defense because that also does not fit the desired narrative. In fact, they're probably more likely to report a White person using a gun in self-defense than a Black person doing it.

A while back a Black woman used a gun to save a White man from being beaten to death by a crowd of Black youths...in Detroit I think. You'd think that would be national news, but there wasn't a peep about it from the MSM. That probably had three strikes against the narrative: 1) Black woman helping White man (the MSM wants racial division and animosity); 2) Black woman owning a gun and I think she also had a CHL; 3) using a gun in self-defense.

Gun laws in cases like this are irrelevant, since it is the places with the strictest gun laws that are most like the fictional wild west, the exception being only the criminals have guns.

These United States are full of inhuman monsters like these and continue to breed more on a massive scale. It's shameful we allow the dregs of our Society the ability to take food off our tables by votes and then shoot us at random in the streets. The world is upside down.

Hopefully they are tried as adults and spend the rest of their live behind bars.

Being relatively safe and wealthy for too long, we in America have grown apathetic. We are reaping the full measure of this apathy now. Just as the fruits of apathy took time to ripen, it will take time (and a good deal of effort) to again right the ship of state and move society back towards a basis in sound and healthy principles.

Feminist and liberals have redefined racism and sexism to hide their own racist nature. According to their warped thinking whites men cannot be the victim of anything ever.
