Asshole of the Week

This week we salute the rampant stupidity of 18 year old Donta Cradock and 20 year old Ivan Rodriguez, two young men who obviously got their guidebooks on how to be an asshole at an early age. No strangers to law enforcement, Cradock and Rodriguez's combined 13 prior arrests stretch back to the tender age of 12. Wednesday night this lousy duo decided it would be a grand plan to steal a motorcyle at gunpoint. That fantastically idiodic idea ultimately cost 4 people in Feltonville their lives.

  • Despite Mayor John Street's big show to end homelessness, homelessness in Philadelphia appears to be on the rise. In fact, both studies indicate that homelessness is at a ten year high, and the number of homeless living in Center City nearly doubled since last year. The executive director of Project HOME has suggested the increased cost of living in Philly and the increasing number of people living below the poverty line in the U.S. could be the reason.
