I was friendly with Jocelyn. She was a wonderful warm hearted and intelligent person as some of the news reports say. She was definitely not 'of the ghetto' though she looked it. The drugs really pockmarked her face terribly and when I heard that a Jocelyn was killed and asked how old she was, another girl suggested she must be 30. Through the scars I could see she was once beautiful.

BERLIN — The city of Bonn has begun collecting taxes from prostitutes with an automated pay station similar to a parking meter, proving again that German efficiency knows few if any bounds.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS). On the same weekend that two men were beaten by violent mobs of teenagers in Center City spurring a police crackdown, another man now says he was randomly attacked on Kelly Drive.

Christopher Dean says he was biking along the drive around 6 pm on Sunday evening, July 31. It was a sunny day and plenty of people were out. He was between Boathouse Row and the Girard Avenue bridge heading west, he says, when he saw a group of four or five teenage boys standing by the side of the path. Suddenly, one of them stepped out toward his bicycle and punched him in the face.

Dean was hit so hard, he says he blacked out. Dean says the teens appeared to be between 15 and 18.

"It felt literally like a blunt force nose of an airplane smacking into me full force. I think it was as hard as he could possibly hit somebody," Dean said."You don't know what's hit you when something like that happens. It takes me three or four seconds probably to realize I've just been punched."

Dean says he managed to pedal another hundred yards before he was helped by two people having a picnic. Pictures show his face bleeding profusely. He needed stitches and his skull was fractured in three places, he says.

"The doctors said that's brass knuckles, the only way your skin can be opened up that way, that's brass knuckles,"he said.

Police confirmed Dean's story and said there have been no arrests.

Dean's incident happened just two days after two other violent attacks by teenagers in Center City. On Friday night, July 29, one man was beaten at Walnut and Juniper, and another man was attacked at 15th and Sansom.

Dean says he is speaking out now because he doesn't believe the city is doing enough to combat the random violence.

On Monday, Mayor Nutter laid out a plan to prevent the so-called flash mobs, mostly by imposing a tougher curfew in Center City and University City on Friday and Saturday nights. The city is also keeping 20 recreation centers open later on those evenings to give kids something to do.

But none of that would have prevented Dean's incident, which occurred early in the evening and outside the new curfew zone.

Dean says he believes the city needs to install more cameras, especially along Kelly Drive. Unless the violence is put in check, Dean says the biggest victim might be the city's reputation.

"If they [tourists and visitors] get wind that this is a dangerous place, this city. Generations of work to make this city what it is. And it is a gem of a city, is ruined," he said.

The papers I liked to are members of the MSM, and they never do. Truth is not politically correct, and therefore the totalitarian progressives tell lies. When they tell anything at all, of course, which is rarely.

However, I believe these are black flash mobs that attack whites in racially motivated violence.

You're absolutely correct. I didn't mention this specifically because I didn't think of it: I guess I assumed that everyone knows anyway. First, it's not a new phenomenon on Philly (nor elsewhere) , and second we know that if race isn't mentioned, then it's blacks. Let's not press this issue too much on this forum because this forum is not about race relations and this potentially contentious topic has a possibility to wreak havoc in this otherwise very peaceful and informative place. I hate to self-censor, but there are plenty of forums on the net where this can be discussed w / o mincing words. But again, you're absolutely right, it's blacks. It's always blacks. Nutter's making threatening noises in the umpteenth time, but he does so every year w / o much result it seems (search the net on "Youth mob in Philadelphia" and you'll find multiple reports going back years where every time the city administration proclaims that the mayhem will not be tolerated. Till it happens again a few weeks later). The long and the short of it is, be careful when walking around this rapidly Detroilet'izing city, and do not limit your info sources to this one forum. Forewarned is forearmed, and it's your responsibility to be informed. BTW, I understand that since recently Philly has a fairly permissive concealed-carry policy. Maybe? Something to think about.

She had a brother who was once an addict and new the scene down here and she said she heard from a few people he was looking for her but she was too embarrassed to let anyone see her in her addiction. Another pretty young girl from a good family gone bad with a bad ending. That's two just in the last month. First Kylie now Jocelyn

Thanks for the info. I figured people here would know.

Shot in the head, terrible.

A woman whose body was found next to a vehicle in Kensington on Tuesday had been shot in the head, police said.

She was identified this morning as Jocelyn Deaver. 21, of Aston, Delaware County.

Her body was found shortly after 4 am Tuesday on the 3200 block of H Street, which angles into nearby Allegheny Avenue.

Investigators have not yet disclosed yet if they have established a motive in the killing or identified any possible suspects.
