Filthadelphia

Most of the rest of us in PA wish we could float that corner of the state out into the Atlantic and capsize it.

Shame too, its Colonial history being what it is :-(

Yep.

I've always said that we should forcibly annex it to NJ.

Has more in common with them than the rest of the state.

We'll take Western MD in trade.

I would have thought Family Dollar.
Their locations are much more ghetto than Dollar General.

“Officials have not yet revealed their conditions or a description of the suspect.”

I’m guessing he wasn’t wearing lederhosen.

My father grew up in Germantown. I had never been there. About 25 years ago when visiting my cousin in Philly, I asked her to take me there where my father grew up. She strongly advised against it, saying it is not the same neighborhood my father grew up in. Later that week, while driving my family around Philly I took a wrong turn and was scared to death driving through a wasteland neighborhood populated by wretched black people. Picture burned out wrecked homes and barren lots with scummy homeless black people on sidewalks and scary people in the streets. Nope, no Germans there! I was sweating until I made it out of that neighborhood. The worst slums in San Francisco look like fine neighborhoods in Philly; the slums in Philly are truly in bad shape.

My guess is that the shooter is neither conservative or an NRA member.

To be honest.

Your description could be of Germantown, north Philly or West Philly.

70 years of total democrat control will do that.
