Again, your wannabe overlords DO NOT CARE about civilian casualties....until the families of these victims “share their pain” with those promoting the invasion, nothing changes...

Mehdi Fraiji? Is he a Swede? German? Frenchman?

Mehdi is a Persian name, which is a surprise since most Persians are Muslim, and Islam is a religion of peace.

Rittenhouse Square is one of the nicest areas of Center City, and is surrounded by luxury high-rises and high-end shops and restaurants.

Or at least it was when I left, more than twenty years ago.

It still is. These days, it's known as "The Gayborhood" (and referred to by city officials, local media, etc., as such.) It is the heart of Philadelphia's gay community. Because of this, you can be sure justice will be swift in this case. Unlike other parts of Philly, the city administration will not tolerate acts of violence here.

Interesting. I once went to a pool party there; one of the high-rises has a large pool on the roof, in a beautiful health club. Fully enclosed, of course. You can look at the other skyscrapers while floating in the water.

It's also where several scenes of Trading Places were filmed, including the one where the two Philly cops pick up Eddie Murphy and his legs drop down.

I’ll be in Philly in a few days. All of a sudden I am seeing all of these bad stories about Philly, go figure.

Looks nice and tender; put him in general population. He’ll have LOTS of new friends.

Do adult crime, do adult time.

“He’s a good boy”, said his mother,” who has worn his prayer rug out due to excessive use”.
