Yo, Philly in the News

• Sunday night's break in with the fake IDs may not have been random: Shamari Taylor, son and brother to the two women (and son of Representative John D. Meyers), was abducted at gun point this weekend - using badges of kind as well. The motive for these attacks are still unknown.


• The Inky is reporting the chilling news that nearly 1 in 4 Philadelphians reported having been a victim of childhood sexual abuse, with only 2 out of 5 of them having reported the abuse to an adult at the time.


• Always double-check your bags before travelling. Just ask the Bethlehem woman who "forgot" there was a loaded gun in her briefcase and tried to board with it. (Maybe she thought only shampoo and mascara were considered dangerous these days?)


• By way of Philly Confidential, we learn that Philadelphia is still considered ill-equipped to "cope with catastrophic event. "
