Highly recommend using the gel rather than spray in an enclosed space.

They have an app you can just open and hit dial.

SEPTA cops tend to respond quicker when you tell them there's child endangerment happening.

That's such a traumatic experience to be in at that age, good on you for trying to talk to him about it.
No children should ever be subject to this bullshit and fuck everyone who says we should allow addicts to just keep doing this.

Contact SEPTA police immediately in a situation like that. It's only by luck during his psychotic episode he didn't attack someone.
You can contact SEPTA police using the SEPTA Transit watch app. You can submit a written report of the situation very quickly, or hit the call button option to talk to SEPTA dispatch.
I've always found them very responsive to any reports I've submitted.

Dirty cops need to be held to account, which is why the power of municipal unions like the FOP need to be checked and reformed.
None of that changes the fact that Krasner is as a fucking clown of the highest order who should be removed as the city DA as fast as possible.

OK but lying when answering that question will only ever be known and prosecuted as such after the fact. There is nothing inherently stopping you from lying on that question, and hindering the sale.
I mean hell the same shit happens for alcohol, it's illegal for a 21+ year old to buy booze with intent to sell it to minors but that shit happens all the time.
I own several guns, I'm 100% in favor of implementing a system that hinders straw sales for being as prevalent as they are.

It's called corrupt machine politics. The city's political system serve themselves and no others.
Additionally this fuck will be going to prison, but he's repressive of the general dysfunctional and underhanded dealing that goes on in the city government.

Reply to Trolley Question by MedicCrow
If you're getting on the trolleys near Suburban station they're all running on the same line.
As the trolley approachs the station look at the top of it, the number of the route its running will be on the sign top of the window. Just wait for the route number you want to show up and get on.
As others have vaguely alluded to if you want to get off using the back door, the steps are pressure sensitive, so when the trolley stops just step down and the doors will open.

First job was working at PathMark.
Within one week of working there I had all the motivation I needed to hit the books, graduate high school, and get into college.

A surface run has its own complications, but I believe the proposed plan, if it ever gets funding, is a surface loop in the navy yard.

Hmm I live here, and I give a shit about the city, and I think building more housing is a greater good then leaving a previously developed lot vacant for a tree that we can just replant.
It's not like trees are an endangered species that can't possibly grow literally everywhere.
I would rather dense urban development be perused and green space outside the city preserved for nature, rather than turned into shitty developments named for the thing they destroyed.

So therefore we should build no new housing?
That's a very short sighted take, we can plant new trees and we can build new houses that will benefit everyone today and a generation from now.

It's really beyond time to start handing city operations over to the federal government, we're clearly too corrupt and incompetent to run ourselves.

If someone qualified to do the job actually got it, it would immediately highlight how incompetent the rest of them are.

There's a lot more than just the stuff that falls under the PPD. Like building code enforcement, everything involving the streets department, parks and rec are pretty disfunction as well.

He was involved in this case on Mumia's behalf prior to being the DA and talked about it a lot prior to becoming the DA .

Agree, its also one of the many reasons I support Fetterman and have voted for him every chance I've had, I think he's a true leader in that he thinks about what's right vs thinking about how will this impact my career.
Unfortunately because money, soundbites, and overly smooth brain team politics largely dictate how people vote; I don't think there would be any messaging that Fetterman or Shapiro could do to negate the public blow back from the court ruling for a new trial. Especially if Krasner being the narcissistic zealot he is goes on TV and praises his office loosing the appeal, which he will absolutely do.

I recommend the City Mapper or Tranist app over Google navigation. My guess would be train to Suburban transfer to the EL, or bus 61 to the 15.
