"Bad things happen in Philly" - Trump
A few months ago I saw some pathetic dude get beat up by a group of girls and a few guys. I'm guess he did one of the girls dirty. Maybe gave one of them an std or cheated. They were taking up both lanes on the ave. The mob let him go without roughing him up too bad so I guess it wasn't too serious.
Not too long ago I saw a car plow into a pedestrian and just drive off.
In the beginning of the pandemic there were several incidents of people getting shot and killed over being asked to put on a mask. It's horrible to lose your life over something like that.
For a while, there were people trying to sell guns on the escort sites. I heard gun homicides increased 40% over the pandemic.
I don't think Philly is the most dangerous city out there but it is definitely not the safest. And within Philly there are definitely safer parts and more dangerous parts.
I think cops do their part to keep certain things out of the better neighborhoods.
A while back I was shopping in center city and out of nowhere I see an under cover cop pins a black guy to the wall and within less than a second several cop cars arrive as reinforcements. My best guess is that the guy was trying to sell drugs in the nicer part of town but got caught.
Even in Chinatown there are shooting incidents. The reports online seem to have mongers doing the shooting. But I have a suspicion that sometimes an MP needs to use force but they are better at cleaning up after themselves and not being noticed so they don't get report (although this is purely speculative and most mp's I've been to seem nonviolent).
[QUOTE=Lance547;5555732]Philly is getting very dangerous. Was out the other night a few minutes away from the ave and came up on an intersection where 2 cars apparently collided into each other and about 50+ people standing around.
Don't know what happened but the driver of one car that crashed was getting punched in the head repeatedly until he fell onto the ground up under his own car and looked like he was having seizures. Another guy was taunting the crowd to try and stop him or to challenge him. All these guys were fairly big young guys.
Seems like anything can pop off anywhere. Between the brawl that killed a man at Pats steaks (2nd death at pats this year) and all the various shootings all over the city it really isn't worth it to come into Philadelphia unless you absolutely have to. It's just getting lawless out here..[/QUOTE]
