County people bringing their crime into the city… at least he turned himself in and was no danger to the public!

I just lost brain cells reading about the motive for this crime. What a waste.

TL;DR: 24-year-old montco dude drives to cc to kill other dude his ex-boyfriend was supposed to meet up w at the hotel.

I leave town for two days and this happens.

That said, this seems unrelated to the actual problems that probably underlie the headline homicide count. This happened in a hotel where I've stayed and passed on my way to Suburban Station on Saturday, but doesn't change my sense of safety in Center City. I'm still reasonably sure that I'll be reduced to spaghetti Bolognese by a motorist who decided to interpret a red light generously.

"People who were staying at the hotel at the time say they were unaware the shooting happened.

"I don't know what protocols they have in place, but they need to do better, I know that much," said Jawara Griffin, who had been in his room when the shooting happened"

Umm excuse me Jawara, you were blissfully unaware anything even happened . Don't be such a crybaby ffs.

I mean, how often you read about a murder and say to yourself, "man, that was justifiable murder!" ? It's always another sorry pathetic "reason"

lol, uh...never?

these guys should have just gone on Maury and called it a day

Usually the only ones I've ever said that about involves a domestic abuser, a rapist, or someone who would be happy at my death to be honest.

Lol they were all from Montco but it’s all about Philly crime.

What, exactly, was the hotel supposed to do? SMH.

It's such a stupid, Karen thing to say - and even stupider to print it lol.
