Not equating this tragedy with the car flipping on Superbowl Sunday, but this is the second time in a week we've had a national news story about violence and chaos at Temple and the culprits have been privileged young white men from the suburbs.

This guy's IG is full of dirt bikes and ATVs. How many of the assholes racing up and down Broad are from the suburbs? How many of the people who trashed police cars during the BLM protests were white people from the suburbs?

This guy comes from money. One of the men who turned himself in for the car flipping is the son of an Upper Darby town councilperson. I think it's worth examining and discussing the issue of suburban people of privilege treating Philadelphia like their personal Rage Room.

We took the water taxi around the harbor and got off at random stops, walked around, got good ice cream. Went to the aquarium and looked at the boats. There are some great restaurants and historical stuff.

That really sucks. Looking at your IG, there's no way anyone would know who you work(ed) for. Wishing you the best of luck in your care at the VA and here's hoping you land a job where your comedy skills are seen as an asset. Daily Show?

I asked the mods and was told that "everyday sports stories" belong on the relevant sub.

It's not an everyday sports story (thank God). It's a crime story involving a well-known, well-paid person in Philadelphia member of the Eagles.

Edit bc I don't care if he's a well known player or not. I think it's weird that the mods think a rape and kidnapping charge belongs only on the sports sub.
