Crime has spiraled out of control.
The trends for some Democratic strongholds over the past few years are not good.
Now the city of Rocky made this NFL star furious and his reaction was captured on camera.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is currently preparing to play the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, but he will be doing so without his car.
Former Saint’s car got jacked
That’s because Gardner-Johnson’s car was stolen after the Eagles’ blowout win over the New York Giants in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Needless to say, Gardner-Johnson was none too happy about the car theft.

Gardner-Johnson came over to the Eagles from the New Orleans Saints after a mid-season trade, so he’s now been fully acclimated to the city.
Under the leadership of George Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner, Philadelphia has had some of its most violent years in at least 15 years.
Even Democrat Mayor Jim Kenney is fed up with the crime.
Shot on the fourth of July
After two police officers were shot on the 4th of July, Kenney confessed to a reporter, “I’m waiting for something bad to happen all the time. So I’ll be happy when I’m not here, when I’m not mayor, and I can enjoy some stuff.”
That is not exactly a ringing endorsement of his city.
Amid backlash, Kenney was forced to walk back his statement, saying, “I ran for Mayor with the goal of helping every Philadelphian reach their potential. As mayor, I feel personally responsible for the well-being of every Philadelphian, and it’s a weight I carry with me every day—every waking moment. And I know that far too many residents worry daily about their safety and their loved ones too.”
Philadelphians have been subjected to disturbing acts of crime.
Murdered with a traffic cone
For instance, seven young teen boys and girls beat 73-year-old James Lambert to death with a traffic cone at 3 a.m.
Despite the chaos and rising crime, the Eagles are near the end of a great season.
The team finished the regular season as the #1 seed with a 14-3 record.
They will host the second-seeded 49ers, who finished 13-4, in the first Conference Championship matchup of the day this weekend.
Hopefully, Gardner-Johnson will have found his car before then and reconciled with the city.
The Eagles will need him in order to advance to the Super Bowl.
