Surely you don’t expect a reporter to interview anyone?

As a homeowner who benefits from the homestead exemption, it’s incredible what renters let us get away with.

Just dropping my share of property taxes by 1/3 while renters get nothing.

To say nothing about the fact that they assess my house to be about 25% less than it’s actually worth.

It’s just weirdly worded. In the incident 10 years ago Hawkins was driving and hit in the hand. He survived. His friend was a passenger in the car and was killed by a shot to the head.

Illegal guns used in crimes are much more likely to come from southern states with loose gun laws. They track this. It’s just a simple fact.

People aren’t driving down to Georgia to buy guns because it’s a fun road trip. They do it because the laws down there make it easier to traffic guns without getting caught.

People often get shot at memorial services for victims of gun violence. The original victim had enemies who do not believe the victim should be celebrated. They didn’t kill the victim because they thought he was a swell guy. The enemies do not like the victim’s friends.

The new victim here was present when his friend was killed 10 years ago. They were involved with drugs, and were following the guy who shot at them. The guy claimed self defense. This new victim also eventually testified, after first refusing to do so.

I obviously don’t know. But It’s not very hard to imagine This new victim said something about his friend or himself or his friend’s killer that someone objected to. Or that someone else said something he objected to.

Thanks. The temperature’s been all weird lately. Was worried they’d come early and then die off with the cold. Happy to hear they are holding off. Not actually supposed to be that nice for the next 10 days. But I figured maybe I’d make the best of it if I had to.

There definitely loads of all cash businesses in Philly that are multimillion dollar operations.

I just assume that any cash only business bigger than a food cart is committing tax fraud.

I’m not sure why they aren’t all just getting audited constantly. Seems like shooting fish in a barrel.

In January 2021 EMT companies were almost certainly taking basically anyone willing.

It was a dangerous and low paying job that is both physically and emotionally draining. I doubt you were signing up.

> Assuming the description given is accurate.

The reporter is getting this description from an anonymous source without having seen the footage themselves. Presumably that source is a police officer or FBI agent who would have every reason to paint the FBI agent’s actions charitably.

I would not take an anonymous 2nd hand account as the definitive story.

For the first playoff game Separatist had the game on without sound. Not sure about last weekend or the Super Bowl.

Or she is listening the advice of her attorney. Who would almost certainly have told her not to talk to the press.

Which makes this whole story pretty questionable.

I mean, anything is possible I guess. But this is a teacher with a masters degree. They are likely making 60-80k. The idea that they are willing to publicly promise to give a failing student an ‘A’ for $30 is pretty far fetched.

The idea that they provided the students with an exact $ to grade increase ratio is more far fetched.

The only evidence is the word of a student who was failing HS biology.

The cop says he saw him stash the gun under the seat. But the video shows the car, and it has dark (probably illegally dark) tinted windows.

Because most of the city government wouldn’t be caught dead on public transit.

Hell, I think a large portion of the city government would prefer to live in the suburbs and spend as little time in the city as possible.

Zillow thinks the house where it happened is worth 400k.

There is no bill where Philly PD can’t pull you over for “this nonsense” and there never has been such a bill.

It is illegal in Philly if your car does not have a real and readable license plate there is no restriction whatsoever on the police pulling you over the second they see you and issuing you a ticket on the spot.

The only thing stopping the Philly PD from dealing with fake and obscured license plates is that they don’t feel like it.

The bill you are thinking of stops the cops from pulling people over for license plates that are real and readable but have other less pressing issues. Like expired emissions tags. They can still write tickets for these things, they just can’t pull people over just to do so.
