I’m disgusted to announce this week’s winners of Phillyist’s ‘Asshole of the Week’ award. It’s sad and unfortunate that we have to pass along the award to not only the perpetrator of the heinous act, but also to those who aided and abetted in basically freeing her.

Remember that advertising campaign that used to say that Philadelphia is more fun for tourists when they stay over? Unfortunately, a couple tourists from Missouri recently found out when Philadelphia isn’t so much fun. Namely when you get plowed over by a drunken South Philly douchebag when you are just trying to cross the street to see your hometown St. Louis Cardinals play the Phillies. One of the tourists, 53-year-old Cindy Grassi, died from her injuries, while the other poor soul, 36-year-old Sandra Wacker remains at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition with the most positive diagnosis stating that she could be paralyzed on one side of her body for the rest of her life.
