Taking a stand in Kensington
What does it take for people to finally take a stand against violence?
Maybe a series of brutal attacks and strangulation murders that left a neighborhood living in fear. At least that seems to be the case in Kensington.
Philadelphia police held a press conference at 6 last night to deliver the news that they had a ‘person of interest’ in the case dubbed the ‘Kensington Strangler.’
They put out a photo of the suspect with a detailed description, including information on a distinctive scar and two tattoos.
It didn’t take long for the phones to ring.
Antonio Rodriguez was in custody a half-hour later. He likely will be charged in the murders today.
Compare that with the situation recently in Upper Darby, where frustrated police watched a suspect walk on a murder rap because none of the witnesses would take the stand against him.
Here’s hoping someone has a change of heart.
The violence won’t stop until the people decide they’ve had enough.
Just like the people of Kensington decided.
