Big Girl Diva is willing to have the Military come in to deal with the rising Gun Violence in Philadelphia. Vetta has lost several family members in just three years to gun Violence. Just recently, she lost a niece who succumbed to 13-gun shots in North-East Philadelphia, and in 2021 she lost a 22-year-old nephew who was coming home from school and then his oldest sister was also killed, shot in the back coming from school. It's no wonder that Vetta suggested that the mayor's focus on curbing gun Violence. She even seemed resigned to frustration and is fed up to the point that she suggests bringing in the military. But she said that there's so much being thrown out about dealing with gun Violence, but something must be done. She's also not impressed with the new Philly police commissioner, who is from outside if Philly. She emphasized, "they're talking but you gotta show it, you gotta put in the work. Like many Philadelphians, she believes we are no longer a city of brotherly love. In fact, she revealed that Philadelphia is now called "Killerdelphia". However, we agreed that there's no place safe in America today, it's either black on black crime or mass shootings. It doesn't matter where you are. Recently, a lone gun man attacked a medical facility waiting room killing one injuring four (4); he was eventually caught and now in jail awaiting trial. Vetta ended saying we just gotta keep praying and maybe look to stop me higher power, cause you don't know what to say no more.
Btw she stated that we don't have as many cops on the corners anymore. I suggested that this may stem from a backlash as Philadelphians were calling for a defunding of the police.
Listen to the compact and very profound and intense conversation with Big Girl Diva. You will indeed agree that it was one of our better episodes.
