While most crime that the leftist media covers at length is done to further their political narrative, much more crime that does not garner the same coverage makes these cities a dangerous place to live. <\/p>\n<p>This weekend was no exception, as crime ran rampant in Democrat strongholds across the nation. Here are just a few highlights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philadelphia, PA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, 20 people were <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/09\/11\/philadelphia-violence-shootings-crime\/\">shot<\/a> in the city of Philadelphia, four of whom were pronounced dead. There were an additional four stabbings this weekend in the east coast city.  This deadly weekend put the city at 380 homicides for the year so far as of Saturday. While 2021 was the deadliest year the city has seen, Philadelphia is set to surpass last year\u2019s record this year if this murder rate continues.<\/p>\n<p>The four fatalities <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox29.com\/news\/philadelphia-endures-violent-weekend-as-22-people-are-shot-4-fatally-and-4-people-stabbed\">included<\/a> a 64-year-old man who was repeatedly shot then pronounced dead at the hospital, according to a local news outlet.  Joseph Durpee, a man who was in the area when this shooting occurred, stated, \u201cIt\u2019s exhausting.\u201d  Like other Philadelphians, he wants \u201cto walk around and not fear for [his] life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a result of this rise in crime, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/06\/18\/concealed-carry-skyrockets-philadelphia-women-citys-gun-crime-rages\/\">reports<\/a> show that the people of Philadelphia, specifically women, are increasingly becoming gun owners.  According to Breitbart, \u201cwomen began flooding into concealed carry classes as crime rose last year\u201d and \u201coutpaced men \u201951 percent to 49 percent\u2019\u201d in concealed carry permit applications.  <\/p>\n<p>Former police firearms instructor Terrance Lappe stated, \u201cI\u2019ve been living in Philadelphia for almost 64 years and have never seen anything like this.\u201d  She added, \u201cThat\u2019s why I carry a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chicago, IL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Six people were <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/crime\/2022\/9\/11\/23346066\/6-killed-in-chicago-weekend-gun-violence-7-teens-among-28-others-wounded\">shot<\/a> and killed in Mayor Lori Lightfoot\u2019s Chicago this past weekend, with an additional seven teenagers wounded among the 28 total non-fatal shootings.  The shootings occurred between 5:00 p.m. Friday and 5:00 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Among the fatal attacks over the weekend included a 45-year-old man who was found in Washington Park on the South Side with a gunshot wound to the chest Friday evening.  He was pronounced dead at University of Chicago Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>Four minors were shot within a six-hour span on the South Side, including a 17-year-old boy who was wounded in a drive-by shooting and taken to the hospital in critical condition.  A 14-year-old boy was also wounded in a drive-by shooting but was in \u201cgood condition\u201d when taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>While shootings are down from last year in Chicago, overall crime has risen to upwards of 45 percent in some districts, driving businesses out of the crime-ridden city. Despite this major uptick, Lightfoot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/lightfoot-says-chicago-making-progress-crime-despite-continued-violence-businesses-leaving\">stated<\/a> last month that Chicago is making \u201cprogress\u201d on crime. Violence committed and shootings of multiple Chicago residents each weekend, including teenagers, does not \u201cscream\u201d progress to people outside of Lightfoot\u2019s line of thinking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>San Carlos, CA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Illegal immigrant Jose Rafael Solano Landaeta is in custody on murder charges for the brutal beheading of his ex-girlfriend Karina Castro this past Friday. Castro, who was also a mother of two, had placed a restraining order against Landaeta in April, according to law enforcement sources. Landaeta also \u201chas criminal priors,\u201d a report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smobserved.com\/story\/2022\/09\/09\/news\/man-who-beheaded-his-girlfriend-in-san-carlos-ca-domestic-attack-was-in-the-us-illegally\/7066.html\">stated<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Castro\u2019s grandmother stated that Landaeta was \u201ca diagnosed schizophrenic on meds\u201d and \u201cwould use that as an excuse for his behavior.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this murder is not the only crime states have seen as a result of mass illegal immigration. Just last month, two Mexicans who entered the United States illegally were charged with the murder of a North Carolina sheriff\u2019s deputy.  <\/p>\n<p>Another illegal immigrant was just sentenced 29 years in a U.S. prison for \u201cviolent\u201d and \u201csadistic\u201d home invasions in Texas. Not only are legal U.S. residents <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/25\/dems-ask-taxpayers-to-fund-more-living-expenses-for-lawbreaking-migrants\/\">shelling out<\/a> massive amounts of taxpayer dollars to provide for lawbreaking migrants, their cities see crimes committed by this population rising as well.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, the Biden administration has allowed several hundred suspected terrorists inside the United States as part of its poorly vetted Afghanistan refugee pool.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Sophia is an intern at The Federalist and a student at Le Moyne College.
