    Default this is just... awful and laughable at once

    I found out tonight that a friend of a close friend (whom i have hung out with several times) was stabbed two nights ago here in philly. not too far from where i live, actually. he was near U Penn, and when the school is on break the Penn Police kinda stop patrolling. He was waiting for the train to the airport to head back to school himself in Arizona. Some (assumed) crackheads walked up and attempted to mug him but instead stabbed him... in the wrist! he needed 6 stitches, and they took not his wallet, or his watch, but his phone! now, who the hell takes a phone but not the money or jewelry?? duuuurrrrrrrrrrhhhh? but..

    senseless!

    I love my philly, but the senseless crimes are absolutely needing an end. our murder rate is at an all time high, and thuggy kids are "steppin' up" and trying to show that they are "man enuff" and they are trying to mug people. the amount of people, including myself, that i am close with that have been mugged is staggering.

    a year and a half ago i was with my ex after work.. we had a routine. i would call, he would come down from the apt with the dog, and we would walk the dog back from my parking spot (parking was awful as i lived near a lot of penn grad students and apts in general). well, we parked, and as we are walking back a crackhead (definite) approaches us. "which way to sansom st?" im facing the dog. "uhhh, that way," my ex says and points north. "ok man. GIMME ALL DA MONEY! DONT TURN AROUND!" instinctively i turn around. "huh?"
    "GIMME ALL DA MONEY AND DONT TURN AROUND!"
    "but im already facing you..."
    "GIMME ALL DA MONEY MANNNN!"
    i look at my ex.... i reach into my purse, he into his pants. we come up with $7. (i keep my work money in my underwear til i get home) we hand it to him. but im wearing massive amounts of jewelry from going to dinner earlier that night before work. he doesn't even ask for my diamond earrings... he doesnt even ask for my purse! he just says, "You SURE that's all you got?" i say yea, im sure... and he WALKS not runs off. right toward sansom st.
    at the time we laughed, we said, were we just mugged? and when the cops came, we told them to go to sansom st and that's *exactly* where they found my mugger.

    this is nonsense!!!! it must end!!!! how can we move forward, raise the next generation in a world like this?! the stupidity... it's laughable, but the actions... they are appalling.

    Love it!

    I have a freind who goes to school in Philly and was just telling me how bad the violence has gotten. I was about to look into dancing out there through thebestdancers.com, but I think I'll pass now. She was trying to warn me that the clubs are really ghetto out there (but the one I was considering looks really nice). How is it going at your club chrissy68?

    Hmmm, I wonder if it's the same club they have posted on that agency site... it looks very nice.

    ^Yeah, it is the same one. I've gone through thebestdancers, it's worth it.

    Philly scared me, I've got to admit! Random things, like how much people honk and scream at each other while driving.

    Ok I have to say....you expected crackheads to be smart??LOLOLOL J/k!

    I grew up in Philly/Jersey and I know the type you are talking about. They are lucky they know their names...all they are thinking is cash cash cash for the next fix...stealing jewlery would mean they have to go to a pawn shop to get the cash..and they cant keep it together long enough to do that. Easier to just rob a cpl people to get enough cash for a fix.
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    Ugh. My sister worked with a guy whose best friend was stabbed 30 times by a random crazed crackhead..this was in a tiny town too...Luckily he survived because he was strong enough to fight back & run so many of the wounds were superficial.
    She told me because she worked for the guy's family business & after the stabbing everyone was paranoid. It was a total random event.
    On a funny note, my kid brother says when dresses up like a heavy metal freak for concerts in the city, no one gives him trouble. I guess if you look scarier than transients they won't bother you.
