Reply to Man arrested in Bucks County in connection with killing of Temple University police officer by MacKelvey
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.

You know what's wild? So many kids at Temple do community service/volunteering just because it's a good thing to do. And then there's these jackoffs.

Aaaand they're from Delco. I think one of them is the son of an Upper Darby town councilperson.

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.

Not sure when you're planning this for, but Baltimore Inner Harbor is fun in spring/summer. I love the water taxi.

In my hypothetical fantasy situation, the positions are funded in perpetuity by some dead rich guy's grant.

Yeah but
> whatever resources you need
If the district was suddenly offering mega salaries for social workers, you could absolutely hire a crapton of social workers in a day.

Make the Temple students who flipped the car on Sunday do it as community service

Unlimited resources? Vastly increase the number of guidance counselors, social workers, and behavioral therapists in every school.

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'm outraged because I'm a sexual assault survivor jackass, not because I'm "chronically online."
I think it's a city story and I'm frankly shocked that so many people disagree. Whatever, I'm done.

Did you just ask if rape and kidnapping is a big deal?
I mean this stupid post is being left up but one about rape is taken down?

As I said below, I don't give a fuck if he's a starting QB or a backup OL. It's a city news story and I think it's weird as fuck that the mods think it only belongs on the Philly sports sub.

Nope apparently it belongs on the Philly sports sub because it's "an everyday sports story."

I don't give a fuck. A member of the Eagles being charged with kidnapping and rape is a city news story whether he's a QB or a backup OL.

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.

The question I'm asking is why do the mods keep deleting articles about an Eagles player being indicted for rape and kidnapping?
