The city \u2014 run by Democrats for the last 70 years \u2014 is now a complete mess.

Just last week, a Temple University graduate was murdered by a masked gunman while walking down the street, and a 14-year-old football player was killed after leaving a school scrimmage.<\/p>\n<p>This week, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11255151\/Amed-carjacking-suspect-ambushes-Philadelphia-mother-teenager-new-video.html?ns_mchannel=rss&amp;ns_campaign=1490&amp;ito=1490\">video<\/a> captured a horrifying moment when an armed carjacker on a bicycle ambushed a mother, 48, and her teenage daughter, 14, in their own driveway.<\/p>\n<p>Then another video went viral showing a mob of 100 youths \u2014 some as young as 10 \u2014 ransacking and looting a Wawa convenience store over the weekend. They trashed the store, assaulting clerks and jumping up and down on cars in the parking lot.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Meanwhile, drug addicts have been using xylazine \u2014 a muscle relaxant intended for large animals like horses and cows \u2014 and at night, some sections of the city are overrun with people frozen in place and stumbling around like zombies.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>But it appears as if some city residents are finally getting fed up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSickening to see kids walking out of football practice get shot dead in Philadelphia,\u201d podcast host Nick Kayal wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickKayal\/status\/1574895086554554380\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProgressive policies &#038; being soft on crime only continues to destroy this city. But I\u2019m sure the Dem\u2019s will continue to complain about it and STILL vote Democratic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s almost as insane as Democrats leaving the Northeast, moving south, to get away from this nonsense and then still voting Democrat as a southern resident!

Dem policies destroyed the city. Crime ridden disaster. Can\u2019t even safely take a walk. Can\u2019t drive carjackings up 70%. City is a joke!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And others widened out the criticism, with one <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/edglomb\/status\/1572713021944008704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeting<\/a>: \u201cLet\u2019s see, the highest crime ridden cities in America, NY, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, LA, Seattle, Portland, Detroit, Minneapolis, Gary, Cincinnati are all controlled by Democrats. Think that\u2019s a coincidence? Will you old time democrats ever wake up?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And yet, on November 8, Philadelphia residents will \u2014 as they have for 70 years \u2014 vote in Democrats, once again proving true the saying: \u201cInsanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
