Get your guns and ammo now.

The veneer of civilization in this country is thin......and getting thinner.

Just 23 years old, John Gassew has been arrested 44 times, mostly on charges of sticking a gun in people's faces and robbing them. But in the eyes of the law, Gassew isn't an armed robber.

Let me guess.....he's a minority.

If I (a white guy with a CCW) even brandish my weapon, I'll be in the klink.

What an effin country we have be become.

Despite being called one of the city's more prolific, and sometimes violent, stickup men by police - they say he bashed a delivery man over the head with a bat, shot at a 13-year-old neighbor, and smashed in the face of a robbery victim - Gassew has been sentenced to jail only once, for a drug charge.

Glad to see priorities at work here. < /s>

This is excellent. Now if you shoot someone in self defense in Filthy, just tell the cops that you were mugging the guy. Make sure you steal the guy’s wallet before they get there, so they know you are not telling lies. Otherwise, they might think you were the victim and then they might arrest you.

Florida’s Stand Your Ground law makes you immune from prosecution and civil suit for self defense, but Filthydelphia’s new policy will even let you turn a profit from the deed.

How cool is that?

Pa.’s right to carry applies to Philly.

That's true - however you won't find the Inky, City Paper, KYW, WPVI, et al, or even Fox29 trumpeting that fact. They all do everything to maintain the fiction that the Cops are just a phone call away, and are there to fully protect you from the bad guys. As I recall, the NRA made a big deal along with 'America's Mayor' Fast Eddie that put that 5 year provision in place. Lot of good it does if not invoked as applicable!

Why is it that you never hear of armed robbery on the streets of Boise, Idaho, Missoula, Montana, or Monroe, Louisiana? Because perps in those places know they will be BLOWN AWAY if they try it.

We do have some armed robbery here in Boise, but it's so rare that it's newsworthy when it happens. There are a lot of CCW holders in this area. :^)

Well, when you got people like these NBPP members intimidating the voting citizens of Philly, without facing charges, it's not surprising that Philadelphia is in the condition it is.

If things are this bad now in big cities, imagine the result from any number of economic shocks; any kind of civil emergency of any duration and people would be eating one another in Philly and elsewhere....
