Well you have to credit the Northeast Times for getting this information out. And the police for deciding to let it get out.

This is a link to the entire article in the Northeast Times.
This is our value added to the information. Follow this link to the Frankford Gazette crime map.
nbc10.com reported on their web site that a shooting in the 5900 block of Horrocks was in Frankford. Wherever you might call it, it’s not Frankford.
This is the original report, I asked them to make the correction. We’ll see how that goes.
“We either have to get comfortable with ex-offenders in the workplace, or you’ll meet some of these folks in an alley, somewhere. You decide.”
You have to love that quote but there is truth to it. It has nothing to do with being a bleeding heart and everything to do with cold, hard reality.
The point is that we don’t want Frankford to be a dumping ground for repeat criminals or the permanent home of chronically indigent drug users. Thanks but we’ll pass on that.
But we do support helping those folks who get out of jail and want to go straight, to get jobs and keep out of trouble. It just makes so much sense.
