WTF is up with Philly??
Where were the men on the subway ?
Outlaw french fries! < / Brady rant off >
Philly must be ANOTHER DEMOCRAT RUN HELLHOLE!
The fries are not to "blame"! The fries were a ridiculous excuse for four violent, selfish and undisciplined girls to attack someone.
The blame belongs to the attackers.
Where do so-called journalists come up with this bizarre love for blaming inanimate objects for crimes?
SUVs kill innocent people.
Guns kill innocent people.
Now, french fries cause people to attack innocent people.
A bit of googling will give you....the rest of the story.
HOPE Charter School is a Philadelphia high school that gives the under-achieving student new hope for a bright educational future and a career.
"A lady who was sitting on the train near us decided enough was enough," the girls said. "She reached into her purse a little bit and moved her hand around as if she had a weapon. She's screaming at the girls to back up, and the girls yielded."
An old lady reaches into her purse and she is a VIGILANTE????
Hello I was a student at hope charter, that left to attend Martin Luther King high school for the school yeah of 2006-2007. and will be attending the same school in September. All i wanted to say was, at Hope I didn't learn anything. There was many days of the school year, where we wouldn't have a teaher at all. Teacher came and went in that school. yes! we did have a few teachers who did their jobs, and tought us. The studets were out of control. The staff of the building let kids do what they wanted to, and there was no kind of order. i'm sending the message hoping my voice can spark a change in the school, because I see nothing but bad coming from that building. Ps; Please take this is someone who have been through it, and not as a game.
Even a few boy scouts on the trains would rectify matters considerably; but alas, boy scouts are about as welcome in the city of brotherly love-ins as the Marines are in Berkeley.
Hope floats. Do does $%!t.
You beat me to it.
Sounds like it is quite a SEPTAc system...
Very sad.
A lot of things changed (not necessarily for the better) when PTC (Philadelphia Transportation Company) became SEPTA.
I guess I have to think of a new name for “The City of Brothers Killing Eachother.”
Philadelpia, Baltimore, Detroit, etc.... All Democrat run for decades. The people there whine and complain about crime, poverty, lack of opportunity, et al but they never do anything to change it.
I was in Phil. for a conference a few weeks ago and thought about taking a short ride on the subway just to see what it was like. Glad I didn’t I’d rather get sore feet by walking anywhere I had to go. Of course the streets didn’t feel so safe either with all the vagrants around.
Fortunately they didn't call her bluff. Having a pistol you don't need is always better then needing a pistol you don't have!
