There's a lot of random, violent crime in Philly, it's not all drug/gang-related. I know it warms some's 'feels' to think that, but innocent people get assaulted every day. If the media delved into why people like this runner was attacked, it would make some very uncomfortable.

That just because you're wearing expensive running shoes doesn't mean that you can get away?

A must watch video about drug use and dealing in Kensington. Lack of Police response based on policies set by city government. (Not the Police Force). Skip to the 2 minute mark to listen to what Police officers have to say.

WARNING, Bad Language

My mom used to drop me and my siblings off at the Midway Theater on Saturday afternoons on that very block in the 70's. We were between 7 and 15 years old.

65 is ridiculous, makes you think what the hell they did to warrant that? Child molester perhaps? Sounds personal.
