'WE'RE NOT SAFE HERE': Police say a man was killed inside an electronics store in North Philly last night. As Philadelphia grapples with its staggering homicide rate, businesses are left to cope with the city's gun violence crisis. MattPetrillo reports

At Germantown Electronics, merchandise is kept inside glass cases or behind a counter to try to prevent thefts.Over at Phila Jewelry, the owner says he’s had thefts and other altercations inside his business so now is only open during daylight hours.“It impacts all of us,” said Adam Garber with CeaseFirePA.

Garber says Philly’s grim new record of more than 550 homicides so far this year affects everyone in the city, even beyond neighborhoods.“It’s not safe, that’s all I can say,” one store owner said. A gun was recovered at the scene and workers inside Techish have been questioned by police but no one has been arrested.

PhillyHomicides MattPetrillo So sad

MattPetrillo Why are these news channels not confronting the mayor,DA or commissioner? You guys have the clout to make some noise. To call them out or their misgivings. Yet you refuse to do your jobs for the Philadelphians. If Trump said one thing you would track it until the end of earth

MattPetrillo Only it's not a 'gun violence' crisis. Guns are inanimate objects. They commit no violence.

MattPetrillo When the poverty issue is addressed and the younger generation has more positive choices than the gun violence will start to see positive outcomes.

MattPetrillo People with no moral compass, religious or other, with no regard for life. It’s gun violence though……

MattPetrillo Uhm wtf

MattPetrillo Gun violence crisis? It’s a gang warfare and bad people crisis! That’s like calling people killed by drunk drivers a “vehicular homicide” crisis. Call it out for what it is!

MattPetrillo The guns are not killing people

MattPetrillo * the city’s Violent Repeat Offender Crisis. That’s the problem. It’s an epidemic. They commit the overwhelming majority of daily shootings/violent crimes. Pandering elected officials are afraid to acknowledge & address this epidemic.

MattPetrillo But our PhillyMayor got 80% of the general vote, so that means he is doing a good job

MattPetrillo Philly is ending 2021 with a bang!

MattPetrillo Shame on Philadelphia’s leaders all the way around… from mayor to police chief and everyone in between. Philadelphians deserve better.

MattPetrillo In Philadelphia Guns are the tools one uses to resolve conflicts that's how it's done here.

MattPetrillo When is something going to be done

MattPetrillo Get guns now !Krassner et. al. have no intention of protecting the citizens of Philly

MattPetrillo Gun violence comes out of the social choices to grind the poor down to nothing and won't change until that does
