Vandals Wreak Havoc In Northeast Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Residents in one Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood had a rude awakening Wednesday morning when they woke up and discovered vulgar graffiti spray-painted on their cars and homes.

The vandalism happened on four blocks in the city’s Rhawnhurst section. The streets targeted were Hoffnagle Street, Benson Street, Emerson Street and Solly Avenue.

John Carty, a resident on Solly Avenue, says, “I’m just a little disgusted that this would happen, that’s all. The kids have nothing better to do than cause problems for older people.”

According to investigators, the vandals spray-painted racial epithets, sexual symbols and swastikas on cars, houses and fences.

The spray paint vandalism included the saying “Fu* Crakers” and some on the swastikas were backwards.

A woman from Rhawnhurst was surprised by the vandalism and says people are usually friendly in her neighborhood.

“They go by they say hi, it’s been very nice for a very long time.”

Carty, who is set to celebrate his 83rd birthday on Saturday, has a proposition for police if they catch whoever is responsible.

“I’d give them a brush and tell them to paint the house.”

So far, no arrests have been made.

Police are classifying this as a case of juvenile destruction.

The vandalism remains under investigation.

Hilarious Yet Scathing Obamacare Ad From the Heritage Foundation | TheBlaze.com

 

‘MORE THAN A GLITCH’: WATCH THE NEW HILARIOUS YET SCATHING OBAMACARE AD FROM THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

Oct. 9, 2013 5:20pm Jason Howerton/ The Blaze

 

With Obamacare’s seriously bumpy rollout, it was only a matter of time before the parody ads mocking President Barack Obama’s signature health care law started popping up. A new video put together by the Heritage Foundation puts a comedic spin on all the glitches, endless wait times and premium rate increases that are now associated with Obamacare.

The Heritage Foundation provided TheBlaze with the exclusive sneak peak at the new ad.

“If you’ve been waiting to be covered in mandates, regulations and new fees, the time is finally here — sort of,” the ad’s narrator says as the screen shows the common “the system is down” message at the healthcare.gov website. “You guys, stop showing that screen.”

The video goes on to rattle off a long list of warnings, similar to the kind of list you would hear during a commercial for a prescription drug.

“Obamacare may cause wait times, a decline in health care quality, money loss, political activism, anger, despair, hopelessness, frustration, European envy, dependence and nausea.”

“If you wish to opt out of Obamacare for any reason, please start a multimillion dollar business, join a union or run for Congress,” the video’s narrator concludes.

Sometimes you have to laugh so you won’t cry.

Watch the video via the Heritage Foundation:

It IS crap. Our stable society is being assailed from all sides by the unstable Left. Obammycare, War, Taxes, Amnesty, Sexual Deviancy, the war on our children by educators in and out of our schools…

It’s pretty clear that war has been declared on us by the government. I just hope we all realize it before they make an official announcement.

One King to Rule them ALL

#WhatILearnedToday Beck wrong? Obama is not just in bed with the muslim brotherhood he’s going down on’em.

Glenn Beck has the “why bho wants to bomb Syria ” wrong… sorta. It could be that the US needs to blow up the weapons “We” sent to syria byway of Benghazi so Assad can’t show them off the world. The dozen other reasons Beck explains all seem reasonable if a bit convoluted. the real and simple answer as to why BHO wants Assad out is whom is going to be in. The Muslim Brotherhood.

Obama is trying to do in/to Syria what he already did to/in Egypt, Libya and some others, install the muslim brotherhood the sets of power in as many Mideast places as possible. Bho is in bed with the brotherhood (giving them a rim job) Beck already knows why for those of you asking, in fact he’s been saying it for a few years now. The same reason BHO is helping with what he is doing is the mideast with the muslim brotherhood. First bring the middle east under the control of the brotherhood then find….

A King of Islam to rule them All.

are one of the angry White dummies

are You one of the angry White dummies ? yes, yes you are acording to TOM SCOCCA if you believe that the media is underplay crime against whites then you are a part of a vast “white racial-grievance industry”.

America’s opportunistic race-hustlers, unsatisfied by their victory in the Trayvon Martin case, won’t stop looking for reasons to rile up white people. So now the latest yapping point in our national conversation about race is the murder of Christopher Lane, the white Australian student allegedly killed for kicks by two black teenagers, with a white teenager as their accomplice in the shooting.

In the world of white victimology, this proves that there is a media conspiracy to underplay crime against whites. Where is the outrage over Christopher Lane’s killing? Where is it? The outrage? Huh? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

If you are one of the angry white dummies asking this question, try a different one: What is the outrage?

Guess what? There isn’t any. In this case, as in every other case that the white racial-grievance industry has tried to latch onto after the Martin killing, there is nothing to be scandalized about.

Here’s what happened in Oklahoma: a young man was shot to death. The police investigated it as a crime, arrested suspects, and charged them with murder.

No one is on the other side of this case. No one is disputing the principle that people who murder other people should be arrested and tried for it. There may eventually be some disagreement about the application of adult law to juveniles—a genuine point of disagreement in this country at this time—but everyone agrees that the killing of Christopher Lane was a terrible crime and that the perpetrators should be punished.

The reason the killing of Trayvon Martin became a national scandal was that even though an unarmed young man was shot to death, the local authorities decided not to treat it as a crime. That was why it was a major news story. It was not the fact that a person of one particular race killed a person of another particular race; it was how the police and the justice system decided to handle that killing after it happened.

Afterward, when George Zimmerman was finally arrested and put on trial, the white victimology professionals took the opportunity to dust off their old arguments about black-on-black crime and black-on-white crime and why racial profiling is worthwhile. But all of this was in service of making the case that Trayvon Martin deserved to have been shot.

This seems to be confusing people, so let’s repeat it: No one is making the case that Christopher Lane deserved to be shot! There is no meaningful analogy to be made to the Martin case, or at least none that is flattering to white people’s fear or self-pity. Murder (of white people) remains illegal in America, and it will be punished.

Yet the noise has reached all the way up to Time magazine now. “Don’t Ignore Race in Christopher Lane’s Murder,” writes John McWhorter, who has made a nice career as a writer noticing the things about race that white people want noticed.

But what are white people trying to accomplish, by calling our attention to race here? What does a discussion of supposed black criminality, in general, have to do with the specifics of this case? The individuals who allegedly killed Lane have all been arrested. Should the police in Oklahoma have arrested additional black people (or, you know, black and white people in a 2-to-1 ratio), on principle? It’s almost as if the people who want to talk about black criminality don’t care about facts.
