Democratic Volunteer Shot Killed In Front Of Candidate In Philadelphia.

A reported in a story by Crooks & Liars.

No word on the shooter but gunman kills Democratic volunteer in front of Dem candidate. Also another related shooting by same gunman. I guess we now know what the NRA's 2nd Amendment solution is.

Wonder who the gunman will turn out to be?

It's a shame, sounds like someone who wanted to do something productive with his life, but the description says "execution style" killing and most likely gang related.

People can argue whether more gun laws will help, but this kind of shit is why Philadelphia wants to be able to have its own stricter gun laws, instead of the free-for-all that rural republicans want.
