It appears that just as the clock shifted between "December 31, 2011 11:59 PM" with an unknown number of milliseconds and "January 1, 2012 12:00 AM" the anomaly that has been capture above was represented as "The Official Homicide Count" for the City Of Philadelphia.
It did not take that long for the "Street Pirates" to change this zero count.
Prior to the "Old Man 2011" handed over his baton to "Baby 2012" - the Street Pirates raked up several more murders to bring additional shame to "The City Of Brotherly Love" - the most murderous large city in the United States.
Philadelphia Sees Bloody Year’s End And Start; 6 Dead
From The Article:
Philadelphia (CBS) – Philadelphia police are investigating a number of homicides that took place from late Saturday afternoon, through early Sunday morning.As 2011 neared a close, there were three homicides. Late Saturday afternoon a 26-year-old man was shot in the city’s Hunting Park neighborhood. Then, just before midnight, a couple was found shot and killed inside a car in the Olney section marking the end of a violent year in the city with a total of at least 328 homicides.
The first of 2012 occurred shortly after midnight. A 77-year-old man was found stabbed to death inside a home in South Philadelphia. One man has been arrested in that case.
Around 1:30 a-m, police say a man was fatally shot following a car crash in the Frankford section of the city.
Just over an hour later, a 23-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound and later died at the hospital.
My dream for the year 2012 is to see the forces who seek to avoid the "Self-Indictment" in promoting these "serial street pirate murders" as EQUALLY as they do the homicides done by more "interesting targets" will one day come to grips with this situation, implementing a fix that effectively mitigates these shameful statistics rather than pacifying the masses of people on the notion that once the "Delaware River" reaches boiling temperature these stats in which 80% of the victims are Black will see substantive decrease.

DAMN! Temple's Graduate African American Studies program is in my list of of potential schools.
I have been to Philly twice. It was not this bad.
The 1% and their agents cause to much DESTRUCTION with their unbridled Avarice.

Philadelphia is a great city.
Downtown and the areas that are carved out for academic advancement are not a problem. Don't allow the unfortunate statistics dissuade you. Only a few hours from NYC or DC.
Unfortunately there are several neighborhoods in the city that give the city its reputation as a "Killing Field". In addition the school system has lost its luster per the schools in these same areas.
The problem is that the people in these same communities have made a major strategic mistake in their development efforts.
Many of my contemporaries have moved out of the city into the suburbs of South Jersey, Northern Delaware or to the suburbs toward the northwest.
Ironically some of the people who I used to have the most ardent ideological and political debates with are those who make up the 'Black Flight Progressives' that I speak of. They mistook political conquest for effective governance and "Human Resource Development".
To hear an NPR program capture Black people say about this majority Black city that they feel "Economically disenfranchised" was quite disturbing to me. Yet as I visited the place - still with a view of 25 years ago - I was able to understand why they were frustrated. The "merchant class" merely shifted from one group of "external people" with accents to a different group of people. "The Blacks" remained as the consumers.
That same radio show placed the city's future hopes upon immigrants and people who will come in with a different mindset who will move the city forward. What was originally offensive to me - listening from a distance - now makes sense to me having driven and walked through several key places this past summer.
