Again re white privilege: In case I was wrong about my memories of Overbrook, I looked it up. It remains a white working-class neighbohood. Scroll down this page to the pie chart and view the approximately 80% white residents as of 2008; also take a look at the rates of higher education, the average rowhome price of $120,849 on the street pictured where he died, and median household income of $39,800; and much farther down, it says the percentage of people below poverty level is 40%.

So these are majority struggling white families in this area. I guess if this guy owned a labradoodle, these boyz thought he was gettin' above hisself.

I'm guessing the thugs were implanted into the neighborhood with Section 8.

I know a lot about that neighborhood. Those stats are some what deceiving. That street is on the border of Overbrook Farms and Overbrook proper. In the old days a lot of city officials would live there because they had to stay within the city limits. Overbrook School for the Blind, Friends Central, Saint Joseph University and Cobbs Creak Golf Course are all around there. Going East towards 63rd Street and Lancaster Ave are the very poor areas to avoid.
Between Overbrook Farm and the bad lands you traditionally had very solid neighborhood made up of lots of Irish, Italian and Jewish working class families.

The bottom line is that this was a good neighborhood. and these animals went on the hunt for soft looking white men.
