Streetwalker Reports

[Zaphod II]

Thanks Zaphod, as always, for your good reporting. That's devastating news if it's true. I tend to develop good relationships with regulars as I know you do, and Holly is certainly a favorite.

Someone can likely confirm / deny your report, or perhaps get the story from Abdul. I will check with him in the spring when I return if no one else responds.

So far the information I am getting from other member would seem to support what I was told. She had not been well at all towards the end of 2011 and everything people have observed about her failing health jives with symptoms of Endocarditis. Rumor also has it that Ab is no longer in the business since this happened.

I guess that means the Catholic Church is pissed he got caught and will work hard to find him another parish in a city with equal opportunity to monger.

At least he wasn't targeting children.

Spoke to one of the girls today that seems to know what's going on with everything on the street. I haven't seen Holly in many months and see neither has anyone else it seems from a search for the past few months on here. Much to my dismay I was inform today that she passed away about 2 months ago of endocarditis. Has anyone else heard this because I have heard stuff like this before and it turned out to be wrong.

However she was not looking well last time I saw her, and she had spoken of being in the hospital a few times, so It's very plausible.

Two points here need to be noted.

1. LE has no doubt favorite locations to set up stings. Some spots are better for observation and stoping cars than others. I Street at the K should be approached with high caution. If anyone knows of other intersections that are popular with them please let us know.

2. 11PM at night. I always assumed stings were mostly a daytime activity.

I always circle the block before approaching the girl to check out the area. Missed many a good one that way but never made the headlines either.

Stay Safe, TT

A priest from a Northeast Philadelphia parish was arrested last week on charges that he tried to pick up a prostitute in Kensington, police said.

The Rev. Patrick McCormick, the parochial vicar of St. Timothy Church in Mayfair, allegedly approached a police officer posing as a prostitute as part of a citywide vice unit operation on Kensington Avenue near I Street about 11 pm on Feb. 23, police said. McCormick. 48, was charged with patronizing a prostitute and entered into the Accelerated Misdemeanor Program. He was ordered to perform 18 hours of community service and pay $200 in fines, according to court records.

A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia called McCormick's arrest "deeply troubling" and said McCormick had been placed on administrative leave

.

I saw that too!

You know the first thing that came to mind?

DAMN! BEFORE he set out the dude should read the "22 Rules for Street Mongering"! ! !

As a prosecuter told me, and I quote " I will put the officer on the stand and it will be her word against yours". That is all they have to do to get a conviction.

LOL! That sounds like a free pass to me!

I served on a jury and thought the guy, [parked at 3AM in front of a house he did not belong to, with two buddies who had warrants and drugs in the car], was indeed guilty of loitering. BUT I was sternly informed that in Philly, the police make up charges all of the time, that they have notches on their belts for every arrest & conviction and that they routinely lie just to damage innocent citizens. Oh yes! When this was sternly impressed on me by the fellow sitting next to me, I saw 10 other heads bobbing in agreement. So IF that is indeed the attitude that pervades the citizenry, then I'd say, go for the jury trial!

Do you know any porn stars I can date?

Mandy was a suicide girl. I got to do some digging for photos.

Mandy

And if I am not mistaken. This fine lady was dancing in one of the clubs.

Amai-Lui

I missed her. Pissed about that one.

I have also met them on facebook. For some reason Vampire Wars is a big time hit with girls. Haven't really figured that one out.

I don't think this is the point of the objection. I think most grown, well rounded men realize, if you break the rules, you might pay for it. However, in this country, we are supposed to be given due process, innocent until proven guilty and not questioned by law enforcement simply for breathing the air in a certain area. Now if I go out and flat out get caught red handed paying for sex, I'll confess up and pay my due. However, if I'm driving through a well known prostitution area and get charged simply for making a second lap, well, that's just not American to me.

People fail to realize just how slippery a slope this can be. We are given rights for a reason. When we break the rules, we are expected to pay our debt to society, but when those enforcing the rules break them and get away with it, then what? The entire system crumbles. The problem is, that in most cases, minus a sting operation, paying for sex is hard to prove, so law enforcement has chosen to crush your rights to try and get a conviction. That my friends is WRONG. If they do it with something as low key as this criminal act, what else are they applying these tactics to? Think about it!

I didn't and couldn't have said it any better. You my friend hit the nail right on the head. We have rights and like you said we are innocent until proven guilty. You and I would stand up for those rights because we believe in real justice not Saturday night justice. There are those that would "roll over" just to get what the system wants them to believe is a "better deal if they plead guilty". When in reality there may not even be a case unless a person "rolls over".

Now there are those in "authority" that would take that real justice from us simply to look good in front of a judge or a police boss. That is the conspiracy that is ever present on the streets. Many of the police truly believe in what they do. They work hard at being a real police officer and I have the utmost respect for that select group. It is those that think that they control the streets and own everybody in them that makes me sick to my stomach. These same rogue cops steal from people in the streets. They set innocent people up for something they didn't do because they didn't happen to like what the person might have said to them. They clock a person up beside the head simply because they want to let off some steam.

Read the papers, watch the news there is story after story about people in authority positions in the "system" going bad. That is only the ones they catch. Have any idea how many they don't catch.

Using the sink or swim analogy, if someone drowns because they didn't tread water, then they deserve to drown. When one is in a battle one doesn't have to win just let them know it was you they fought. Maybe next time they will leave you alone.

Stay well and stay safe enjoy the hobby and stay away from trouble.

I think it's funny how everyone has an opinion about the "police gang" and this grand ole' conspiracy. First off, this is a hobbying board, not your town hall. Secondly, the fact that you're on here probably means you're interested in or looking to do something which is less than legal. Blame the law all you want but if you get booked it's not like the cops were looking to catch and frame an innocent person.

If you don't like the law then feel free to move to change it, but until then you people are just whining about getting caught for doing something wrong.

I wholeheartedly agree! +1

Thanks for your thoughts MM. That view might be typical for some, but not me. I was engaged to a prosecutor for a while and got to know plenty of her colleagues, LE and others in "the system". In addition, I have enough friends that are local LE, troppers and the like to know the accurate story. I wish the standards were higher. Just my humble experience.

Your ex-fiance and her colleagues amount to just how much of a percentage of total people in that field? It isn't mathematically sound or fair to make a judgement based on your experience with such a very miniscule precentage of those in that field. Maybe your ex was part of the problem that you speak about, either way definitely in the minority of all LE and judicial people.
