"Wednesday afternoon, at around 2:45 p.m., Congresswoman Scanlon was carjacked at gunpoint in FDR Park.
[snip]
Police say Scanlon was approached by two black males, aged approximately 20-30, as she walked to her vehicle before they demanded she hand them the keys.

Scanlon represents Pennsylvania's 5th Congressional District, which includes part of South Philadelphia.
In 2021 so far, the Philadelphia Police Department has reported 521 homicides, which is a 13% increase compared to 2020 and the city's highest number of killings since at least 2007. Incidents involving a shooting have also increased by 4.4%, and the number of people who are victims of a shooting has risen by almost 3% over the past year.
The City of Philadelphia is seeing at least an 80% increase in carjackings in 2021, compared to the total number in 2020, police told FOX 29 earlier this month.

"We have seen too many lives taken and communities devastated by police brutality and racial profiling," Scanlon tweeted shortly after Floyd's death.
Rep. Scanlon is one of 125 co-sponsors of the Mental Health Justice Act, which aimed to place some police officers as first responders with mental health specialists. All of the bill's sponsors are Democrats. The bill's text says its purpose is "To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to States and political subdivisions of States to hire, employ, train, and dispatch mental health professionals to respond in lieu of law enforcement officers."
At the time the Mental Health Justice Act was introduced in February 2021, with Scanlon on board as one of its original co-sponsors, The Hill reported, "Congress wants to make it easier for state and local governments to defund the police by instead funding mental health services and empowering them to respond to emergency calls instead of armed officers."

She got her wish. She should be happy.
Poetic justice
Being a democrat, she’ll take no responsibility and still blame systemic racism
gee, that’s a shame..
Yep, karma for her. Bwahahahahahaha
Headline:
Scanlon was the second elected Democrat to be carjacked in a major city in 24 hours.
Isn’t that remarkable? We were told police being around added to the crime wave by creating a hostile urban environment.
But less police and more no-bail and “decarcerated (let out of prison) criminals didn’t make the environment in town any more friendly, did it?
Get the mindfulness trained social workers out there to solve this. Somebody.
And the local cops couldn’t catch up with the Amish youths on horse buggy? Comeon man!
Damn white supremacist’s again.
Yep. Feral descendants of Ben Franklin again.
Were the perps wearing MAGA hats and eating Subway?

AOC said people were so poor due to the systemic white privilege racism against them, that they had to “get bread to feed their families” by resorting to muddings, looting and shoplifting.
Is the stealing of a car and sometimes possibly killing the driver and passengers, including a child or even a baby in a baby seat in the back, another way to get bread to eat? Let’s ask AOC.
In one case a baby was still in the stolen car so the impatient criminal cut the straps with a blade and tossed the baby and seat out of window of the moving car. The police found the baby alive, shaken up, but not badly hurt. Thank God. Think if that were your baby or one in your family.

Green acres is the place to be
Farm livin’ is the life for me
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside
The chores———— the stores
Fresh air-———— Times Square
You are my wife
Good bye, city life
Green acres we are there
What is that word, I am thinking of? Karman? Karma? Schadenfreude? No. Wait!
I know; DUMBARSE! Snicker, Snicker, Snort
What is she doing walking around FDR park? Scoring dope?
Green acres is the place to be
Farm livin’ is the life for me>>> Kinda describes the area. there was nothing around FDR park. A golf course and I95.
Did she take Rosa Parks Boulevard to Malcolm X drive and turn onto MLK Road to FDR Park?
I actually don’t know about the area and it just means all people of all colors and ethnicity can freely travel to another area to commit a crime.
