Summer time is trauma season. The trauma bays are always more full of gunshot wounds in the summer. The nice weather does bring out the terrible things.

you made up your own boogie man and then blamed it on someone else. do you really think people who are in favor economic equality are also in favor of beating people to death? grow up.

I just missed the chance to get on the BFB from 95 North (Callowhill left exit). I had to go up to Betsy Ross and come back down south.
At that time they completely closed 95 south from Girard to 676. Why...?
Honor the fallen office, but use city streets, not highways during rush hour. We can collectively mourn without being late and losing money.

That's only if you think it's appropriate to build a defense case on mitigating factors and all that other stuff common in western legal and moral arguments. Personally, I think that's irrelevant. Either you committed the crime or you didn't. It doesn't even matter if it was premeditated, a crime of passion or an unintentional yet inevitable outcome of reckless behavior. That's why I also think the punishment for attempted murder and murder should be the same. Why should you get a lower sentence for shooting someone just because you missed a major artery? Why should a drunk driver who hits a telephone pole get a lighter sentence than one who hits a person?

Well, they can talk to the cops who won’t protect them, won’t close their murder case when they get killed in retaliation, and have probably harassed them or someone they know, or they can keep quiet and live. It’s not difficult math to figure out why the cops don’t get cooperation. All of that treating citizens as the enemy and stop and frisk turns out to have some blowback.

You misread it. Saturday's forecast has consistently been in the 30s since Sunday/Monday - there was even snow projected for a bit at one point.

>Parents choose private and charter schools for a variety of reasons even knowing this
I actually do wonder how many people actually know this.

Also, let’s not forget, dude, that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for, you know, domestic, within the city, that ain’t legal either.

Apparently the clusterf$%^ at the toll plaza on the NJ side of the BFB around 7am this morning was related to the funeral as well. Luckily I was going eastbound (I work in Jersey). However, it just feels like holding up traffic commuter traffic into Philly so the dozen+ NJ police vehicles for this funeral could have all the space is just bad PR.

So many problems and parents being their kids friend instead of their parents is at or near the top of the list. No way a real parent doesn’t know what their kids are up to.

Why don’t you become a cop? I’m serious., So many think they could do a better job but would never take the job.

Then we are in agreement that private gun transfers need more regulation. It’s not really that hard to find a consensus when you’re obviously using common sense. Nobody is saying “take everyone’s gun,” “there should be no guns.” At least I’m not. My point was and is that we are ridiculous in the way we recklessly treat the distribution and transfer of our guns. Even worse is that the laws are different state to state. Illinois has tough gun laws? New Jersey too? No problem I can just take a 15 min ride to Indiana or Pennsylvania, problem solved. It’s just a dumb way to do things.

I think your right, they must randomly choose someone who’s been on the news for an offense to bail out so it looks like they actually do what they claim
