Cop Killer Suspect’s GF Sets New Bar For “Hopeless Romantics” Everywhere
“It was love,” said homicide Sgt. Robert Wilkins, who said that Floyd’s girlfriend of two months had confessed. She has not been identified.
The couple spent the last three days in a boarded-up Kingsessing row house, relieving themselves in a bucket, while she went to the store to buy food and Newport cigarettes.
Lesson: Anytime you think a story in Philadelphia can’t get any more fucked up, there’s somebody smoking Newports and shitting in a bucket.

This Summer is looking more and more like the same ol Beirut bullshit. Hats off, Philadelphia. Way to keep it in your pants. The mayor and I will be drinking down at The Gateway on LBI when your ready to DROP THE FUCKING MURDER SPREE and apologize. Till then, keep up the reaper’s work, asshole.

I wish they’d do a follow up on that guy on the NJ Transit line who threw off his dreadlock wig and disappeared into Jersey’s industrial wilderness. I think there must be a great story there.

Blatz has me confused. Has he not compared last years murder rate with this years?
So the world stops when a cop is shot?
What about when a cop is stabbed?
I was only a block away from where a cop was stabbed in Rochester last week.
I didn’t hear shit about it in the media. Oh wait everyone has forgotten about Western NY. My bad.

Patricio, ol’ boy.
Lets not mince murder rates here. Killing is killing, baby and Philadelphia has been binging on it for some time now.
Now, say we went from 392ppl last yr to 10ppl so far this year. THAT would be a relief and require an admittance of misstatement on my part.
But the reality is as of March 15th we’ve had 56 murders in 2008 as opposed to 78 in 2007. Not a big fucking difference.
As an addentum, cops being killed is unbelievably disconcerting as they are the ones who get paid to keep yo ass safe and not bleeding in a ditch after some ruffian puts a slug in you for your ipod shuffle and a pack of dentyne.
Imagine what it does to a community when it’s residents comes upon a police officer, a peacemaker for christsakes, bleeding to death in their streets. You know what it says to them? It says “Bad news, folks. Your fucked.”
I don’t know how they do it in Rochester but here in the Delph we count every murder as a cause for concern.
