I leave town for two days and this happens.

That said, this seems unrelated to the actual problems that probably underlie the headline homicide count. This happened in a hotel where I've stayed and passed on my way to Suburban Station on Saturday, but doesn't change my sense of safety in Center City. I'm still reasonably sure that I'll be reduced to spaghetti Bolognese by a motorist who decided to interpret a red light generously.
