Philly Mayor has nothing better to do than wait in line for an iPhone
http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/29/philadelphia-mayor-caught...
http://www.philly.com/dailynews/breaking/news/Mayor_on_line_...
Philadelphia mayor John F. Street waited patiently along Ranstead St. at 16th St. in Center City to be third in line to purchase an iPhone from the
AT&T on Friday, June 29, 2007. It was raining most of the morning and the mayor stayed dry in this Gore_tex rainsuit.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Un-fucking-believable. People are dying in this city like it's nothing and this asshole has time to do this bullshit?!
I'm so glad he will be out of office soon. Dude has done nothing but run this city to the fucking ground.

somehow, waiting outside in a line is a more attractive idea that sitting corraled in a hallway of an unopen mall at 8 in the morning.

I'm shocked he couldn't just swing a free one or something. Damn. Fucker. I hope the next dude is good for this town... though I'm a little sketchy
about Nutter's "stop and frisk" policy.

That will never happen, that was just something to stir the pot to help show the voters he's trying to make a "change". Doing that shit will cause
more harm than good.
And it's funny, a white mayor would never attempt such a bold proposition, he would be labeled racist. Why no one has called Nutter out for this is
beyond me. I agree, this city needs some changes but profiling people is not the way to go about it.

^Frank Rizzo would have proposed a stop and frisk. Haha.
Seriously, no one's calling Nutter out on it all hardcore probably because he's black, but there've definitely been people questioning it. And you're
right, it would never happen.
They'd basically have to frisk every dude wearing oversized jeans and t-shirts, and dudes that have shifty eyes.

everyone in Philly has shifty eyes....
I don't follow politics very closely, in fact I think it is a bunch of crap, but I can see that the city of Phila has just gone down the shit pipe
since Street has been running it...I mean that shit he said when he got elected the first time..."the brothas are running things now" i mean fuck that
afroed jerk off.
I doubt that the city will ever turn around for the better. the ghettos get more dangerous and the yupppies spread out ferther into fishtown.
fuck it..at least we have a great baseball stadium.

she was a paramedic that contracted hep. c, on the job, because of giving a baby c.p.r. who i believe was drowning in a toilet.
the city would not give her a pension as she was unable to work from being so sick.
she camped out in city hall for what i believe was 5 days to try to talk to Street herself.
Street walked past her many times a day, ignored her, like didnt even exknowledge she was there.
he eventually had the bathrooms locked(which apparently by law he is not allowed to do since city hall is supposed to be "for the people") so she was
forced to leave.
this was 4-5 years ago
in april the city just gave her a pension.
this is after years of treatments, chemo twice a week, ect.
the city still voted 5-3
streets comment on it was .......
"i remmeber her but i dont know if she got her pension or not. i dont follow that"
wonderful guy
you come at the king....you best not miss

everything went in the shitter once Street got rid of john timoney.
timoney was a great police commish.
but he butted heads with street.
so he "left"/ was let go.
this dude now..........he's a big a joke as street
but he's black so i guess he is above critisism in the media
just like street was for so long
ps....timoney was a white irish dude from new york by the way.
street, being the racist that he is, im not suprised that timoney didnt fair well in his postion
you come at the king....you best not miss

The city was in much better shape with Timoney here. I saw somewhere that he has ties to one of the candidates running for mayor but i forget where.
the police chief in my town is pretty hardcore on cleaning up the mess it has become. they even made up t shirts witht he slogan "not in my town
scumbag" printed on them. when they do drug raids (which is probably 2 times a week) they leave stickers with that printed on it affifed to the
boarded up doors afterwards.
As much as people tended to criricize Rendell, i think he did a far better job. way fuckin beter.

Yeah, there is no such thing as a perfect politician but Rendell was much better than Street.
And Vibes, I had not heard about that shit until now. That shit is fucked, and just gives me even more reason to hate the son of a bitch.
Operation Safe Streets is all that needs to be said...

i don't know if it's still policy in new york, but it certainly used to be.
white mayor and all.
