Yo, Philly in the News

PA citizens (many reportedly from the Philly area) went to Harriburg, where state representatives were reviewing over 100 crime-related bills. We can't blame them:

• In a terrible case of Karma gone awry, one Good Samaritan was shot yesterday while trying to assist a woman who had her purse snatched, while two women pretending to be Good Samaritans robbed an accident victim in NJ and went on a spending spree with her credit cards.


• Police have issued an arrest warrant for one Kevin Felder in relation to the shooting death of five-year old Casháe Rivers. Rivers' tragic death is being held up as a dire example of our violence problems by those who are looking for changes in PA's gun laws.


• Two other examples of our crime problem: a woman was found dead - stabbed 12 times - in her home in the Olney section of the city Monday night - and yesterday, a man was rescued after being in a hole for four days as the result of a four-story fall after being the victim of an armed robbery.
