Daily News | Philly City Council member calls out Camden County leader who said Philadelphians are ‘thugs’ and ‘gun-bearing freaks’
No arrest has been made, but a teenager from Philadelphia was questioned following the incident, which took place at Camden’s waterfront fireworks celebration.
Gilmore Richardson responded to her fellow Democratic elected official by saying that “instead of making disparaging statements, he should work to foster stronger interregional relationships.” For many Philadelphians, Cappelli’s comments were perhaps strange to hear coming from a Camden official. Although it has recently attracted new development after decades of high rates of poverty and crime, Camden has similar levels of gun violence to Philly.
