Meanwhile in "America's Hometown" (and mine)

Is a demonstration of little seen American irony that the Philadelphia Inquirer, from the City of Brotherly Love, provides on its website a handy, dandy interactive homicide map? There is also an interactive shootings maps. That must drive the local National Rifle Association folks crazy! The NRA can at least take solace from the fact that the city's most recent killing didn't involve a gun. Not that they ever do because we all know that "guns don't kill people". We all know that it is "bullets that are shot out of guns that kill people"; and occasionally knives.
