For the record, NYC did this last year: https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nypd-sei...kes-across-nyc

I have no idea what's stopping the PPD at this point.

Unacceptable and embarrassing... Just confiscate these bikes already!

No need to state that it's 'not a fearmonger post.'

I don't know why, either ... NYC is also seizing the concert-loud speakers that get set up on the street for 'boom parties.' Anybody have the pleasure of being exposed to that?

LGBQT activist Josh Kruger was gunned down in his home. No forced entry, shot seven times. You have to watch who you invite into your home. Now he was castigated for downplaying violent crime in Philly.

How do cops on foot stop dirt bike riders ? knock them off of them maybe and then face criminal charges ? the DA clearly loves to charge cops and the populace re-elected him.

Or they could stand on the corner of Broad and attempt to stop dirtbike riders. It doesn't matter how many cops you have if they still aren't doing anything.

I'd like to see a follow-up on this.

I don't watch the news.
A friend in Miami just told me about it.

Another senseless deadly crime in this city.

Kruger and I were acquainted.

A mutual friend has been discussing his taste in pickups with me.

But Kruger had also posted that someone had been harrassing him of late.

This does have echoes of the 1970s murder of newspaper-chain heir apparent John S. Knight IV, though.

I think it was a lover's quarrel. The person stalking him was an ex I believe. The "no forced entry" leads me to believe he knew the suspect or the suspect had access to his apartment.

Only time will tell.

My working season in Utah is almost up. I thought of getting a cheaper flight to Philly and going to Dirty Franks before taking a bus to Lehizzle, but with the way things are it's just not worth it.
