Meanwhile I just watched another group of those dirt bike/ATV assholes go flying down S Broad again.

Reached out to my councilperson last spring to ask what the city was going to do about this problem, and back in May I was told the police had put together a special taskforce to deal with the problem, and that Squilla was pushing for sound-sensors to be installed at intersections (I guess so the city could waste some taxpayer money on something that won't make any difference to anyone.)

Why are the city council, mayor's office, DA, and police department all such an unmitigated clusterfuck in this city?

ATVs almost ran my Dad and I over outside of UPenn hospital while I was escorting him out after undergoing critical colon surgery. These assholes care about no one except themselves. I remember when I said I wouldn't shed a tear if they all got mad maxed, and then got a warning from the mods for inciting violence ....the irony

Hehe, a favorite pastime of mine is downvoting mod posts… not just here, but in every sub.

I was like how the fuck are you gonna give me a warning for inciting violence after these assholes almost murdered 2 generations of a family.

I heard some bullshit podcast and WHYY that said the ATVs are part of Philly culture and if that black people don’t have ATVs to drive then they will do crime. Absolutely Pathetic. As a minority myself being reduced to “ keep me busy or I’ll do crime” Is humiliating.

I mean as much as it sucks I think there is some merit in the idea that ATV culture occupies the time of a lot of wayward young men and if you took that away they would probably get into gang banging.

That doesn't make the ATV problem less of one, but is probably true.

That could be literally anything, sports, running, sewing! Something that doesn’t have to inconvenient absolutely everyone around them.
