Possibly a deranged laid off Microsoft Zune employee?

That said, ban hammers in Philly!

Was the little boy’s name Damien, I wonder?

I can’t imagine just sitting around doing nothing while someone is vicously attacked. Someone on that train should have at least been carrying pepper spray!

Or, as we call it here in Philly, “Thursday”.

Kitty Genovese

Case in point

[Borges]

And the guy who killed her is still alive too.

And I am going to guess that the SEPTA demographics were the same as my CTA demographics: a black man assaulting a lone white man in a crowd of black people.

Victim here appeared to be a young black man. There's a surveillance video clip at the link. Everybody cleared the area once the assailant started beating on the poor guy.

The attacker - a bearded, stocky, 5-foot-9-inch black man who wore a yellow shirt and black pants

Another person suffering from ObamaMania.

I stand corrected.

Unfortunately, the Dems are moving out my way in droves.
And bringing with them some of their baggage.

Next time you hold a door open for someone, see if they thank you.

Must depend on where you live.

Here in Wyoming, I am thanked every single time.

Must depend on where you live.

I suspect you're right.

However, even though I am rarely thanked it was the way my mother raised me and I won't stop doing it.

Why is this article keyworded under “Banglist” and “Jihad”?
Just asking, not criticizing.

[CodeToad]

A hammer?? Who carries a hammer?

[Turbopilot]

FYI, Philly may be a blue city, but it’s in a red state that has very good carry laws (including state preemption). They have shall-issue carry and very few off-limits places, and public transportation isn’t one of them. It was just misfortune that no one on the train at that particular time was armed.

I couldn't tell you. I never add key words when I post.

[School of Rational Thought]

This is true, but anytime I am on a SEPTA train or especially in 30th Street Station, with all those cops and dogs, I get very uncomfortable.
