OMG, come live near me and listen to them blaring their horn at 2am and get back to me. 😫

I can't read due to paywall, but I worked for the city and saw the same of most of the white collar professionals I encountered on a daily basis. It was downright depressing, although the "quiet quitting" culture is making it cool again, I guess.

There are some Democrats commuting fraud, too. But overall it's all so small in the grande scheme of things.

This study shows that legal marijuana "led to a sharp reduction in violent crime in US states that border Mexico. While the Mexican cartels smuggle other drugs such as cocaine, heroin and metamphetamine across the border, the market for marijuana is the largest drug market in the US and the one from which the cartels can make the fattest profit. It costs around $75 to produce a pound of marijuana in Mexico, which can then be sold on for $6,000 depending on the quality."

Unless you're buying that 8th from a grower directly, it is likely linked to violence somewhere along the line.

Cottman and Frankford

Gonna disagree with you on this one. Violent Mexican cartels are turning to marijuana. In Philly, dealers use violence against each other to protect their turf. A 14 year old was murdered in Mayfair a few years ago over a weed deal. And we can't forget about Cosmo Dinardo.

2 teenagers selling weed get murdered because someone wanted it and maybe some money without paying. So utterly sad and a reminder that even if weed itself isn't all that dangerous, the street sale of it is. Please don't support the criminals out there that make it unsafe. Just get a dispensary card.

Of course, but they can have wages and tax refund garnished, which is still better than nothing.

It's a station on the Lansdale line.

Honestly, the Wawa in Plymouth Meeting (to be fair, on the Norristown border) has had a double shooting and a recent stabbing in the parking lot in the last 2 years. Even outside the city, it seems like Wawa's just attract trouble.

True, but at least restitution would penalize the theif and make the store whole again.

Maryland has tuition waiver programs for those receiving SSDI at their community colleges, but I'm not aware of a program like that in PA. Baltimore is a lot like Philly, though.

The thing is that I want legal gun owners to have easy access to ammo, because more practice means better marksmanship and less chance of endangering a bystander. So I have no problem with gun shops being around and selling ammo, but if there is a law that says felons shouldn't have it (makes sense), then it also makes sense that the state should have a law that shops should do a quick background check before selling said ammo.

Thanks! Annoying that Vanore declined to provide this information and instead seems to imply the gun shop didn't do their job.

Funny thing is there was already a law against this guy purchasing ammo - "As a convicted felon, Bivins was ineligible to purchase ammunition. Vanore declined to say how Bivins was allowed to purchase the ammunition and did not name the gun shop that sold it to him. "
