South Philly is all you need to know...

Or, West Philly, or North Philly, or the Eastern area closer to the Delaware River. Center City and downtown are usually nice.

Oh I’m sure the “gang in Philadelphia” was a bunch of Italian kids like something from West Side Story.

>>Americans have gotten so good at reading between the lines that the omitted details might as well be put at the top of the article in 72 point type.

Isn’t it a glaring reflection on just how far America has strayed from its foundation!

With the election of DJT, the global elite rulers are profoundly annoyed that We the People have dared to speak back.

2017 will be a wild ride!

“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

I wear my M-65 field jacket all the time. Of course I also conceal carry a SA XD Mod-2.

Used to be absolutely the safest part of the City. Most of the Italians must have moved away.

Philadelphia needs to be cut from the rest of PA!!! if only it would be done>>>

Why am I thinking that Philadelphia should be given to New Jersey!

I was mugged in West Philly, Center City and on Broad Street just below the Kimmel Center. Every time, it was the "Amish."

“Attacked because he was white?”

Impossible, blacks can’t be racist.

In Philadelphia, this would be my guess. I think this business about an "army jacket" is just made up as a red herring to cover up the real reason he was attacked.

I can't find anything either

"Soldier, 19, beaten by 15 men..."

Excuse me. Those were not "men."

Animals? Sure.

Cowards? Absolutely.

Thugs? Pack dogs? Sub-human filth? Most assuredly.

But "men" they are not, nor will they ever be. I'd like to rip the throat out of every one of them as all the others watch, knowing I'm coming but unable to even run, unlike the urine streaming down both their legs as their bowels turn to water in richly-deserved terror.

Cowards are funny when faced with a real tough guy. They often cry. They act more like women than women. It's embarrassing.

Anecdotal dalliances aside, and as a purely scientific note, they all do make the exact same sound when thrown out the back of a van at 60mph. Trust me.

My son lived on the western side of Center City when he was at UPenn grad school. It was very clear that things got sketchy in a hurry a half dozen blocks west of where he lived. But, in driving through the city, you could see other areas, on all sides, which were pretty nasty.

The punishment for this is obvious. Find and round up these 15 men, and I use that term begrudgingly, then apply retroactive abortion with the caliber of choice. Leave for pigs to remove from the planet so they eventually become exactly what they acted like. Then as fertilizer they can actually do something good for humanity.
