I attended a high school where the first class started at 6:50. It sucked wet duck ass.

Right, but there are more people in the metro area. And those people in the metro area are quite frankly a lot more likely to take the train into the city than they are to move into the city.

I believe you, but I've also not seen that happen often. Apparently OP hasn't either.
We're all coming at this from an anecdotal perspective, of course, but my gut feeling is that i would be shocked if the enforcement is any better at PHL than anywhere else outside of center city.

I thought for some reason they were only allowed to patrol in center city. I was wrong.

>think rules do not apply
They often don't. The city has abdicated even the most basic enforcement to the people, but the citizenry has neither the incentive nor the power to enforce rules either.
Rules without enforcement, whether taht enforcement is by government or by society, are rules that do not exist.

This city is so fucking weird when it comes to ticketing and money. Yes, you're right, they could make a ton of cash. They could do a whole lot of things that would make life better for everyone.
And they simply choose not to.

Trade unions gave us Jim Kenney, so maybe we shouldn't listen to what those idiots have to say.

It was also a sheriff's deputy who sold the gun used in the roxborough high shooting - AFTER the shooting. He was moving dirty guns to cover for the crimes his friends were committing.

The problem isn't that PPP was created to keep people employed, or to keep idle employees paid. The problem is that PPP loans were made with little oversight, often to people who lied, and funds were not equitably or accurately distributed to the workers who were struggling.
It was a clumsy program that should never have existed. A much better solution would simply have been to distribute one month's worth of pay to everyone who reported income in the previous month, plus one month of earnings to everyone* with a schedule C, up to a cap.

Cars need licenses and insurance. You have to pass a skills test to operate one. Cars are registered and the registration information is easily searchable by any law enforcement officer. There's a central database in every state of every car owned and every owner.
I hope this helps.

This is true for all but the smallest of bats and it's part of the reason why eradicating mosquitoes in urban areas would generally speaking cause no environmental harm.

Just so everyone is on the same page in terms of timeline,
1 - these 2 firearms were used in the roxborough shooting on September 27th
2 - The guns were only later obtained by Deputy Ahmad, who then turned around and sold them to the confidential informant whom he knew to be a prohibited person.
3 - There is no hint right now that he provided the guns before the shooting and then got them back.
The most important question to ask here is how deputy Ahmad obtained the weapons. Did he know the shooters? Was he actively protecting them? Did he obtain the firearms from the families of the shooters in order to obstruct the investigation or because the families were attempting to do so? If it is the latter case, why aren't the families under arrest for obstruction of justice right now?
And how many other investigations are currently being stymied because the police are actually in bed with the shooters?

There is a difference between school sucking because it is school, and school sucking because 16-year-old students have to be up at 5:45 in the morning to get there on time.
