It looks like walking on their hands while wearing roller skates didn’t work, so they’re on to new ideas.
Philadelphia police and black community leaders called on Wednesday for 10,000 men to volunteer to patrol the streets of America’s most dangerous big city in a bid to halt a surge in murders and violent crime.
“Most dangerous big city?” Hey, don’t be trampling on our trademark.
When (perhaps not that many) men volunteer to patrol the border, the usual suspects have a fit.
In an initiative that organizers hope will be copied in other cities, the unarmed and non-uniformed volunteers would patrol selected areas in an attempt to deter drug dealing and other street crimes that have given Philadelphia the highest murder rate among the 10 largest U.S. cities.
“Unarmed and non-uniformed volunteers.” Or to put it more accurately: Victims.
“There will be no weapons and no arrests,” Johnson told Reuters. “These are not vigilantes. They will be on the streets as peacekeepers.”
Or as public relations cannon fodder. After all, you will wind up breaking a few human eggs to make the omelet of the illusion of Philadelphia city fathers “doing something” about crime.
Johnson said the plan was initiated by Philadelphia-based record industry mogul Kenny Gamble and is also backed by a group of prisoners-for-life at nearby Graterford maximum-security prison. Those prisoners, though incarcerated, still have influence in the communities they came from and are urging young people there to avoid a life of crime.
Yes, please do ask for advice from the residents at the wolf sanctuary on how to make the chicken coop safer.
Dennis Muhammad, a security guard for Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan and a prominent supporter of the plan, said he hoped to attract some of the 80,000 Philadelphia men who attended the 1995 “Million Man March” led by Farrakhan.

“This is the first of its kind in the country,” Muhammad said.
Wrong. It’s not like nobody in Boston, or in New Haven, Conn., or in Oakland, Calif., or in New York City, or in East St. Louis ever thought of this.

Gee, it only took six years. If we lived in a sane society, this would have taken only six days:
The United States is moving to tighten immigration and customs controls, which it says are vital to keep terrorists at bay six years after the September 11 attacks.
Under plans that have been announced, foreign travelers will need to provide 10 digital fingerprints on arrival instead of two currently, and their personal data will be transmitted to the United States before their plane takes off.
By the end of the year, virtually every container that comes into the country by sea will be screened amid concerns over possible smuggling of nuclear weapons, security officials said.
“We must move forward aggressively to build on our success to keep pace with our enemies,” said Michael Chertoff, secretary of the department of homeland security, the frontline body in the US “war on terror.”
This only applies to legal foreign visitors. What about the illegal aliens that Bush, Chertoff and Co. love so much? If we have to “keep pace with our enemies,” it’s because they have lapped us on the track.
