Made it across Canada and Europe, but couldn't get through Philadelphia...

we have standards ... low ... but standards nonetheless.

That really sucks. Some people just don't know when to turn off the "I'm an a-hole" switch and let something good pass by.

This is just all to typical of humanity.

Doesn't surprise me in the least that it couldn't make it through the US.

Thanks. That one worked.

And to think, Philly is called "The city of brotherly love".

Was it wearing a NY Giants cap?

Well, at least he got to see Boston and NYC. And, it looked like he was having a good time... before he was mugged, of course...

Already preparing your defense?

If it was, he would have had the Giants hat on backwards.

I just stumbled across this link that has pictures. I don't know if the first one did.

Obviously, the system has failed these people in Philly. They are not responsible for their actions because we put them in a situation where violence is their only recourse. No surprise here. I can't tell you how guilty I feel. I know... let's give them all a free cell phone. That'll help.

They got the culprit on video.

Looks like Doug to me.

 

[Bizarro_Stormy]

I, for one, welcome our new benevolent hitchhiking robotic overlords...

Brotherly love, not roboterly love. Keep in mind these are people that throw batteries at Santa Claus.
