If it looks like a coverup, and smells like a coverup, . . . .

As we have previously reported, Robert Davis, 20, the killer of Josh Kruger, was expected to plead guilty in exchange for a 15-to-30-year prison sentence. Yesterday, he did just that:

The inclusion of bias in news articles is subtle, but you have to be aware of it

This site has expressed some amusement at The Philadelphia Inquirer referring to gangs as “street groups.” It began when we were reliably informed by The Philadelphia Inquirer that there are no gangs in the city, just “cliques of young men affiliated with certain neighborhoods and families,” who sometimes had “beefs” with other cliques, so we must replace the term “gang-bangers” with “cliques of young men” or “clique beefers”. District Attorney Larry Krasner and his office seem to prefer the term “rival street groups“. Continue reading →

Maybe not that much of a heap o’ trouble for five Philly ‘teens’

The WordPress software that this site uses has an interesting feature when it comes to generating the url code for the headlines, one that enables a sequential series. And thus the working headline for this article is “You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!”, which I have used several times in the past. The screen is showing me that this would be the 22nd article using that title. Due to the way the software works, as long as I post it under that headline, the url remains the same, even if I change the headline subsequently, which is why there are some headlines “You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!” that have the boy in the url. 🙂

And so it is with this one, because I wonder just how big that heap o’ trouble is for five juvenile delinquents in the City of Brotherly Love. Continue reading →

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the rectum here] to do things right 'Harm reduction' has not reduced the harm drugs do, but simply redistributed it to innocent people

In an article that would never, ever, have been published by The Philadelphia Inquirer, Olivia Reingold reported that addiction activists say they’re ‘reducing harm’ in Philly, but Kensington locals say they’re causing it. The newspaper has published several articles describing Mayor Cherelle Parker Mullins’ clean-up efforts in trying to get the junkies off the streets and the drug dealers behind bars on in that infamous open-air drug market, but Friday morning’s really took the cake. The OpEd written by Theo Fountain, a drug addict in remission and former street camper in that section of the city, he’s advocating for the ‘harm reduction’ efforts by Prevention Point he says helped him to finally get off the streets.

It was in the fourteenth paragraph down that Mr Fountain admitted how he supported his drug habit:

I was arrested for participating in the typical hustles addicts support themselves through: shoplifting and dealing dope.

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! Why do so many teachers get caught on sex charges?

I am not surprised that anyone named after the Dallas Cowboys would (allegedly) be a low-life scumbag. If the NFL were to be given an enema, the tube would be inserted into Jerry Jones! But I do admit to some surprise that the credentialed media didn’t conceal the sex of Dallas Shuler’s victims:

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy!

High school teachers are supposed to be reasonably well educated, with a bachelor’s degree at the very least, and most public school districts require teachers to earn a master’s degree within a few years of being hired. So how can so many of them be so very, very dumb?
