Recently, there have been two separate incidents of teens coming down to Center City Philadelphia after school’s out and wreaking havoc. After the last incident, several members of City Council even had the wonderful idea to try suing Twitter and Facebook, as they hear that these kids today use this “inter-net” thing to organize their little gatherings (BONUS- the media’s been able to use the phrase “Flash Mob” over and over!). Yesterday, the kids didn’t get to the Gallery and 28 were arrested.
It boils down to stupid teens wanting to head to the downtown mall (The Gallery) to be, well, stupid teens and eventually start fighting, a phenomenon in existence probably since Victor Gruen built the Northland Mall in Detroit in the 1950s. Of course, there is a story in today’s Inquirer about last evening’s incident and, of course, there are wonderful, wonderful comments on the philly.com posting of the article.
Can we start with a wildly awful overstatement of something?
I love the part that says the attacke by these animals are “tarnishing the city’s image”. What image would that be? That we have a large segment of our population who are out of control? That if you see a group of blacks …. get away? If the police see more than 2 together they should break them up because it appears that they can’t be expected to act in a civilized manner. It’s like we’re living in Darfur.
Darfur. With the genocide and all. Thank you. Please continue.
Soon we will need a dictator, once the children of our nation completely stop caring about education. Keep encouraging your children to watch reality TV and American Idol. I hope we all die before we turn into Iran.
Iran. Okay, any other nations?
Eventually, no more Flower shows, home shows or boat shows. Goodbye Convention Center conferences. Philadelphia, meet Camden.
Camden? Camden, New Jersey? Judges? Okay, we’ll accept it. Moving on.
look at what the Democrats have done to this city. The racist Democrat agenda built on the lie of gov’t “help” has created a perpetually poor and ignorant black segment of the community. The Democrats derive their power on the dependencies they create. It is a shame that the ignorant voters actually believe the Democrats care about them. Democrats have done one hell of a job blaming racist Republicans for their problems as they are completely clueless that their community and local politicians are 99% Democrat. Wake up you fools rise up against your Democrat slave masters they don’t care about you!
Where’s Bernard Goetz when you need him?
Somebody tell me again why a suburban swim club was worried about who used their facilities. And then white people get chastised as racist if they cross the street when a group of AA walks by. Can’t say I blame them. You not only have these animals running rampant through the streets, but their also the same people that account for almost all of the violent crime in this city.
Try to be more charitable with your comments,after all,these are the future of our country…the scientist,great philosophers and political leaders.Liberia-here we come.
I’m a black belt in the ancient art of karate. I will spend my afternoons around the gallery just hoping to run into these cretins. You ever see Bruce Lee take on 20 dudes with no problem? That’ll be me.
Clockwork Orange
GORILLAS
I just legally bought a Smith and Wesson .38. I plan to get a legal concealed weapon permit. I do not plan to be harmed by such a mob. I will defend myself if a bunch of kids come after me. Nutter and police better get a grip on what is happening.
The Gallery and that part of Market St highlights the problems with the urban renewal prejects of 3 or 4 decades ago. it’s like it was designed by the same people who designed high-rise public housing because it seems to have many of the same problem and the same clientele.
Bring back Frank Rizzo! This garbage wouldn’t happen on his watch!
Stop calling these wastes of sperm ‘animals’. Animals don’t behave like this. These brats are perfect examples of why abortion is a great idea.
To all the folks who are arming themselves. PLEASE DON’T START SHOOTING as soon as you see a gang of rampaging kids, because YOU WILL MISS, or a bullet will ricochet AND KILL AN INNOCENT PERSON.. LIKE ME. And you will be prosecuted!
Or maybe we should hit them where they live and see how their parents, or momma, likes it when her home and neighborhood are vandalized and/or destroyed. Oh right, it’s already destroyed. Forget that idea.
We need the Bristol police on this. They know social media. Those of you who hate the city, please form a flash mob of suburbanites. You can descend upon North Philly and bore everyone with talk of your kids and Burberry scarves.
I think its time the citizens and commuters stand up for this city. Who cares if there are 200 teens…still more of us on the streets than them! Don’t just stand by and watch them chase a man into the CVS, stand up for yourselves, each other, and this city. These kids think they are tough, no one can touch them and they can do what they want…wonder what they’ll think when someone bigger and badder cracks ‘em in the jaw. Bunch of punks who think they seen the world and it belongs to them, the adults around here need to teach them a lesson and put them all in their place.
Seems all they touch,they destroy..I was born/raised in Kensington. Merchants along K&A took pride in their shops, swept their pavements etc. K&A use to be one stop shopping. Then everything fell upon darker days. K&A now is nothing but drabby shops that are either pawn shops/chk cashing places/car stereo shops..It was a shame to see it all unravel..even Harrowgate plaza looks like the slums now. Sec 8 did this. Port Richmond is even falling. Now when I drive thru these areas all I see is misery,gloom,Newport Billboards and Billboards with Billy Dee Williams Hawkin’ Colt 45 malt liqour.
These CHILLRUN didn’t do nuffin. America’s next great city? What about America’s next Detroit or Gary, Indiana? Let’s face it. The savages have won. They have destroyed 75% of this city already. Let’s just throw in the towel. Give them the keys to the place and let them continue to trash and destroy it. Over 200 years and they’re still savages for the most part. That’s why we’ll always be a third rate city – not a great one. Not with the population we have here.
I figured out a deterrant and a fund raising idea for the city. Bring back the stocks then place a tax on rotten vegetables. Id pay some serious coin to blast these fools in the face with a nasty head of lettuce. few days of that, they may reconsider. Also put it on tv so everyone can enjoy…
Someone is going to open up on them with a weapon and then ewe will have to hear about how a ‘good kid’ was ‘murdered’ and didn’t deserve it. I’ll tell you this…..if my wife gets assaulted over there coming from or going to work…..I will be over there fully locked and loaded and searching these punks out !!!!
These “children” need a role model, maybe we should elect someone that they can look up to, how about a black president from another city with a crime problem. Maybe not. What else could we do? I am still thinking………..
