Hi everyone,

I meant "in Philly it'd be fatal to not acknowledge this phenomenon," but left out the "not." To make it clearer, I've just revised it to "in Philly it'd be fatal to ignore this phenomenon."

Hi everyone,

In the book version of this article, there will be this extra paragraph:

"At 20th and Fernon, there's a 'Stop the Violence' mural with 46 names of Point Breeze residents shot to death. There are several females, Keisha Moore, Yolanda S. Barge, Natasha Harris, Karlita Hunter, Linda M. Garcia, Sherrion Mayes, Imogen Clark and Shakemiah Diggs. Across the street was Ralph Brooks Tot Lot, named after a 6-year-old left paralyzed from the waist down when he was struck by a bullet from a drug deal gone wrong."
