SEPTA riders, prepare to get screwed by the Transit Workers Local 234 union if an agreement between SEPTA and the union is not reached by week's end. (Like local columnist Doron Taussig, we're sure the union's choice of timing for a potential strike—to coincide with the World Series—is pure coincidence.)
The rough economic conditions have reached Walnut Street. On a 4-and-a-half block stretch of the retail street there are more than a dozen vacant store fronts.
A Camden woman was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for beating an elderly man to death...with his own cane...in front of his terminally ill wife...after he confronted her about stealing money money from him. Oh yeah, and she'd been hired as caretaker for the elderly couple. WTF?
We feel bad for many—but not all—shooting victims. Amongst the ones we don't have any pity for are guys who manage to get themselves shot while committing a home invasion.
The jury deciding the murder case in the death of Sean Patrick Conroy heard yesterday about the disturbing chain of events that led five teenagers to attack him, unprovoked, on the Market-Frankford SEPTA concourse near Market East last year. Today, the jury toured the concourse area where Conroy was attacked and died.
John Jackey Worman, the Delaware County man whose child porn case we've been posting about here for some time, was convicted in federal court of dozens of child-pornography charges yesterday. Worman could spend the rest of his life in jail. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
Suspended Episcopal Bishop Charles E. Bennison Jr. testified yesterday in his ecclesiastical trial, trying to explain why he had not told anyone that his brother was sexually abusing a high-school student in the 1970s.
At Fourth and Arch Streets at 3:45PM yesterday, a car ran a red light, collided with another vehicle, then went up onto the sidewalk and injured three pedestrians, one of them critically. The drivers had only minor injuries.
Obama came to Philadelphia to talk to the state AFL-CIO convention yesterday, a day after Clinton had done the same. No word on whether he compared himself to Rocky—or Apollo Creed, for that matter. Meanwhile, Clinton was talking economics in Pittsburgh.
The latest on the PA primary race: Barack Obama spoke in Allentown yesterday, criticizing Republican nominee John McCain on foreign and energy policy, and disagreeing with those who are complaining that the fight for the Democratic nomination is going on too long. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton returned to Pennsylvania yesterday, talking about the economy and concerns of middle-class voters at an afternoon roundtable outside Harrisburg and an evening rally in Bucks County. Finally, Pennsylvanians signed up to vote in the primary in record numbers. On the last day to register (March 24th), about 33,300 first-time voters signed up as Democrats and another 46,000 Pennsylvanians switched to the blue party. In the same period, 6,000 new voters registered as Republicans and 1,800 switched in.
Who will really decide the outcome of Pennsylvania's April 22nd primary: the voters, or the delegates? Perhaps the real answer is the gays! Meanwhile, Obama had fun with the college crowd at Penn State.
A federal appeals court decision yesterday threw out Mumia Abu-Jamal's death sentence for killing Daniel Faulkner and ruled that Abu-Jamal must be sentenced to life in prison or get a chance with a new Philadelphia jury that would decide only whether he should get life or be sentenced to death again.
