Craig,   Are you saying that Mumia Abu Jamal was a cop?  Honestly, I don't 
think I ever thought it out that way.  I was told that he was a poor teacher, 
cabbie, and journalist at Temple.  Really!  I never had heard that, but I guess 
we all do tend to have that aspect in our basic rights and characters.  
Actually, the second amendment is based on martial volunteering for common 
good.  But I understood that we all would have fair trials... and also I think 
that most cops who kill in the line of duty are not then executed... What is 
your opinion Craig.  Lynne Abraham said it was because he was black, and they 
needed to make an example of someone.  Did you agree?

But he pushed some things I'd never.

Did he rule out race v. race?

I can bring up questions many,
Even when I can't solve any.

Topic for discussion at community meetings

A day ago, the NYT ran a photo of a cop attacking one of our brothers 
during the non-violent protest on wall St.  The thugs didn't know the 
times got the photo, and charged our non-violent brother with jumping a 
thug barrier and resisting a thug.

Rick,

There are some powerful videos on the net about this from Florida. I
believe it was Miami? After blowing away some guy with over a hundred
shots, peace officers came after the witnesses with cell phones. One
guy managed to slip out the memory before they destroyed his phone and
arrested him.

It seems current operating practice is to immediately destroy the
cameras and arrest the witnesses with a variety of crimes. I believe
some places have already passed this legislation to which you refer.

Stay safe,
Glenn

Re: [UC] Local crime report, double shooting

neighborhoods mixed up.

Thanks Bill. Below is some of the horseshit published within the last couple of weeks by the same
corporate media that publishes the crime reports. I've been following this for years, and the
contradictory neighborhood names follow a very clear pattern 100% of the time! Negative stories
occur in West Philly Positive thinking, uplifting, inspirational
literature comes from university city.

I'm not suggesting you pay much attention to the corporate/Penn propaganda
pretending to be journalism. Just do a structural comparison of the
literature, and you will see the pattern without it destroying your ability for
critical thinking.

All the best,
Glenn

Spring Garden Street and Woodland Avenue.

[UC] Bi-polar housing, congratulations

Think of this housing market as bipolar. In the luxury sector, the
recession is a memory and sales and prices are rising. But everywhere
else, the market is moving sideways or getting worse...

...The phenomenon is not limited to real estate. You can see the same
split in other gauges of the economy. Sales at Saks versus Walmart. Pay
on Wall Street versus Main Street. Corporate profits versus family
balance sheets.

http://ucreview.com/the-state-of-university-city-gives-voice-to-a-vision-of-prosperity-and-p2953-1.htm

I want to offer my congratulations to the vision of the Plutocracy,
our Lords. Well done!

You have divided and conquered the middle class of America so adroitly
that people around the country, like the university city anointed, never
realized they were championing their own enslavement! This is very
clearly the society that was desired when the former (and sometimes)
West Philly was revitalized. Again I say, well done!

I remember, long ago, being horrified at the vision of a shining city
of OZ, surrounded by human wastelands where inhabitants lived in
complete hopelessness and deprivation. But as long as the district
lattes are rising in price, what are citizens other than uncivil
terrorist wankers, anyway?

Well done! Well done!

People only recently moved to my neighborhood west of 43rd St (as
pointed out in print by UCD). Maybe we should put a homeland terrorist
wall and machine guns at 45th St. to keep those West and Southwest
Philly creatures out of Eden? Where do the good folks think the
security wall should be located? (responses from those making less
than 1 million big ones per year are verboten)

In fact University City does exist, as much as Cedar Park, Spruce Hill, Mantua,

Re: [UC] Local crime report, double shooting

Why does West Philadelphia bother you and not Blockley?

Western North Philly near the East border of Fairmount Park was known as
Swampoodle for years but now is widely considered North Philly. In fact,
contrary to popular belief there were no Blacks in North Philly until
after well after WW II.  It was not a traditional Black neighborhood.

Today, people from outside of the city now moving into these city areas do
not want to live in North Philly or West Philly. They want the new names.

Dragging neighborhood names from now TWO centuries ago, which most people
do not know anyway, does not change anything.

Re: [UC] Local crime report, double shooting

It sounds more to me like areas around grand estates, actually.

West Philly, North Philly and/or Mantua scares people.  Also it makes us
seem more like Philadelphia and the inner city than University City.

 Western North Philly near the East border of Fairmount Park was known as
 Swampoodle for years but now is widely considered North Philly. In
fact,
 contrary to popular belief there were no Blacks in North Philly until
 after well after WW II.  It was not a traditional Black neighborhood.
 
 Today, people from outside of the city now moving into these city areas
do
 not want to live in North Philly or West Philly. They want the new
names.
 
 Dragging neighborhood names from now TWO centuries ago, which most
people
 do not know anyway, does not change anything.

 All those stickers that say University City doesn't exist, it's West
 Philly piss me off.
 Some names stick, others don't, but they are all, effectively
marketing.
 Personally I prefer the name Blockley which is what is on my maps from
 the 19th century.

 It seems really strange for journalists to keep making these same

 As you correctly point out... University City does not exist... it is
 strictly a marketing ploy.
 
 The area is called, on all City maps, West Philadelphia, so nobody is
 getting the neighborhoods mixed up.

Re: [UC] Local crime report, double shooting

Not named after blocks used for slave auctions...

In 1835, the overcrowded Philadelphia Almshouse moved to Blockley Township in 
West Philadelphia, an area once known as Blockley Farm now between 34th 
Street and University Avenue. Built to house a variety of Philadelphia’s 
indigent population, the facility consisted of quadrangle of four sizable 
buildings including a poorhouse, a hospital, an orphanage and an insane asylum.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockley_Almshouse

The name is supposed to have been derived from Blockley, a parish in England 
in Worcestershire.

Ahhh! The Poorhouse and an insane asylum; not an estate. I prefer West
Philadelphia.

Re: [UC] Local crime report, double shooting

I hate to admit this, but when I was pre school kid and early student in the 
60's, at City Line Ave. and Monument Rd. there was NOTHING there except WCAU 
Channel 10 TV station and farms and wood. Impossible to imagine, even for ME 
and I do remember that although it's kind of a hazy memory.ll
