this makes sense. there are currently 3 helicopters sweeping over the hood around 50 walnut.

Just another shooting in the City of Brotherly Love.
NonIdentifiableUser t1_iy60duk wrote
Absolutely ridiculous. There’s thousands of people coming and going right now through these intersections. I swear these clowns now are so fucking brazen. I don’t recall this many shootings in heavily trafficked areas in the past, they just DGAF anymore. Probably teenagers.
Soft_Nuggs t1_iy60y5e wrote
Do you have anymore info on the Wawa shooting or a link?
morry32 t1_iy61jqe wrote
>Probably teenagers.
based on what?
morry32 t1_iy61mx6 wrote
that can't be true or the helicopters would be everywhere all the time?
JawnMadden t1_iy61oq8 wrote
Not watching the news, but there was also a 2-car accident on 76 southbound in the left most lane right where the 676 off-ramp merges onto 76 about 30 minutes ago.
QuadrupleCompound OP t1_iy61p68 wrote
The link I put in the other comment had a live video of the crime scene—nothing happening when I last checked, just cops talking to witnesses. Seemed like the video was from the helicopter
NonIdentifiableUser t1_iy61q5n wrote
Not that any criminal is a genius or shows restraint , but teenagers seem to have even worse impulse control and probably shoot people wherever.
WeJustDid46 t1_iy62e3z wrote
They are. There are shootings in the City of Brotherly Love every day, all day long.

UPenn alert said all clear but I don't know. I'm gonna stay inside just in case. The copters are still flying around.

morry32 t1_iy65hor wrote
but what is that based on?
​
teenagers make it sound like a crime of happenstance, what if its mothers and grandmother? Changes a bit doesn't it?
morry32 t1_iy65mit wrote
so you really believe that?
how many equals "every day all day long" because that ain't no metric for changing shit

>Authorities say a man was making deliveries and left the car running with his 4-year-old inside when the suspects jumped in and took the vehicle.
Not the driver's fault that people suck ass or that childcare in this country is out of reach for many people, but COME ON.
morry32 t1_iy67b4i wrote
keep going you almost there my friend
​
those are numbers, do you not think crime doesn't exist everywhere? Everything is in relation to something else, I am going to assume you don't want them arresting people before they commit a crime, right?
WeJustDid46 t1_iy68p0t wrote
Crime does exist everywhere, however, you are more likely to be a victim of crime in Philadelphia than you are if you live in Downingtown.
McCooms t1_iy68pdy wrote
It’s based on who is doing the majority of the shootings in the city. Why is that a problematic speculation?
lemmingsagain t1_iy68sws wrote
They found both the child and the vehicle.

What tools do you use to get up-to-the-minute info like this? I've tried to find a police blotter but haven't found anything that seems to work
Running1982 t1_iy6920v wrote
Citizen app maybe?
JawnStreetLine t1_iy69oi1 wrote
I use Citizen app, though I turn the alerts off and just open it when I’m looking for details about something. Those alerts will turn you into a hermit.
trashtrucktoot t1_iy69tx1 wrote
I've lived in W.Philly most my life, teenagers scare me the most. I've three 'situations' and they all involved teenagers. Also, I was once a teenager so I understand their mentality.
A baby copperhead s ake is more dangerous than an adult because it doesn't have restraint on how much venom it injects. An adult will bite you multiple times if needed. ... or so I was told as a kid.

There was a hostage situation after a robbery in KoP too, so tons of helicopters in the suburbs all day as well

Saw this on Twitter:
"SHOTS FIRED at 34th & Market St at the Wawa. No injuries reported."
Crazy that people can't handle the existence of a convenience store.
Edit: it was a road rage incident and the person was arrested

Was it a shitty looking black Hyundai? Asshole almost ran over me as I was leaving work and subsequently ran 2 stop lights. Of course no headlights.

You must be agreeing with mu statement because your use of a double negative proves I’m right.

This isn’t true at all, the cities have more ppl but you’re statistically safer than other areas that have more crime per capita

As much as we have a crime problem, the last 3 times a car was jacked with a kid, the kid (and car) were returned safe.

This makes me think we should have a huge symbol on the roof of our car - easily seen from above
Darius_Banner t1_iy7rvor wrote
Badly traumatized, no less. Imagine how pathetic you’d have to be to see a kid and continue with your carjacking p
Darius_Banner t1_iy7s1jd wrote
That said, and regardless of crime, what kind of moron leaves their car running when they go inside? My 4 year old would immediately start messing with the controls, and I don’t think people appreciate the exhaust either
ratmoustache t1_iy7tvrd wrote
They’re just not paying attention, when stealing a vehicle they don’t check for occupants, tire pressure, make sure the all the turn signals and brake lights are working properly. They just bail if there’s a baby in it, they do t want the heat

How many were there? I just had at least three buzzing around really low for quite a bit not two weeks ago, happens regularly now.
morry32 t1_iy8cuos wrote
what would that reveal?
airjordano t1_iy8nl8r wrote
I second the exhaust comment, but a 4 yr old should be able to reach any controls when sitting in the rear in a child car seat.

Been in jail with people this has happened to. Can confirm. Definitely an accident 😂. Also was in their with someone who was on Xanax and thought he was getting into his own car at the gas station cuz he had the same one. Makes sense to me. I’ve done that shit. If the keys were in the car and it was a push start I prolly really would accidentally drive off.
dc122186 t1_iy966ym wrote
LOL you think someone who is negligent enough to leave their child in an unlocked, running car in Philly really has that kid strapped into an appropriate child seat?
