I don't know why you're being downvoted, because that is basically what we need.

Jesus christ. Speed bumps are cheap and effective. So are bollards at crosswalks and bus stops etc. Not saying that would have stopped all of this but it would have helped a lot. Cars kill over 40,000 fucking people a year in this country and something like a 5th of those are pedestrians. And we do next to nothing about it. Unlike gun control, there are cheap and effective things we can do.

Really? You can test 911? Have you ever seen this work?

No one is blaming the victim, we're just pointing out that leaving your car running while you go off and do something is idiotic, regardless of crime.

Curious what defines "downtown". I assume #1 and #2 are NY and Chicago... but either way good news!

On a related note, it would sure as hell help if PA required a FRONT LICENSE PLATE.

I thought Sheriffs were a county organization?

First of all, get the fuck off that car at the next stop. There may or may not be an officer there and you can typically approach the station agent etc.

Why does the sheriff's office exist? The county and city are the same thing.

Good riddance. Glad to see no one gunned down the car driver.

Reply to Biden/Fetterman today? by PhillyPanda
I was on a plane that got delayed while he arrived. No big deal, but when they announced the delay and why it was happening a number of people on the plane yelled "lets go Brandon". Friggin trash. But honestly, I wish they hadn't told people why the delay was happening, it just makes people hate Biden.

As always, my rant to the clouds: Why in fucks name does PA not require front license plates? Holy fuck - multiple photos of the front of the van and no license plate. AGAIN.
