If you pay attention to CNN, the city of Philadelphia, known as the “City of Brotherly Love,” some in the city are calling it the “City of Brotherly Hate.” The people giving it that name may be the ones who recently attended a rally at the Community College of Philadelphia, though.

One of the speakers, identified as Dorothy Speight Johnson, of Mothers in Charge, said he son was gunned down for parking in someone else’s parking spot. See, here in Philadelphia there is very little assigned parking, so this had to be a turf/gang thing. Johnson, speaking at the gathering, which was filmed by CNN, said her son had been shot seven times for that parking spot.

Andy Reid ought resign his position permanently. He hasn’t led the football team to a Super Bowl victory, despite coaching the team to the ultimate game for NFL teams a few times. There were always legitimate excuses why the team lost. Lack of camaraderie. Lack of coordination. Terrell Owens vs. Donovan McNabb. McNabb’s injuries. T.O.’s attitudes. It was always something.
