Here in Philly, we've got a bit of a murder epidemic (104 dead since January 1). In my City Paper editor's letter this week, I call for more weapons.In an unrelated story, CP contributing editor Sam Adams tells the chilling story of Bob Bechtel, a man who, 50 years ago, shot a sleeping student at Swarthmore College. He's never apologized, and only recently did he tell his daughters. (Sam's first line: "Bob Bechtel doesn't sound like a killer.") It's the lead story in our Philadelphia Film Fest coverage, and very much worth your time, especially if you're a crime thriller junkie.
Baltimore's clocking in at a higher rate then last year too.
