    Then there's the two scumbags who jacked a 78 year old woman with cancer.

    It's not just Philly - Chiraq is in the playoffs as well.

    Meanwhile, the number of carjackings through the first month of 2021 exploded with 218 vehicular hijackings reported, compared to 77 in January 2020, according to CPD data. That*s an increase of 183%.

    When wasn't it a thing? Especially in Philly where vehicular homicide is one of the preferred methods of murder.

    Eh, not sure if you are confusing terms, but nowhere near correct.

    How so? Not saying the two are connected just lots of violent crimes involving vehicles in Philly.

    And you also stated: Especially in Philly where vehicular homicide is one of the preferred methods of murder.

    Vehicular homicide is no where near the preferred method of murder. We have been having an enormous uptick in fatal pedestrians struck by autos, but they were not intentional murders. And we have a lot of drive-by shootings from autos, but that is not vehicular homicide.

    I question your use of *vehicular homicide* and also *the preferred method of murder*. That is not the case at all.

    The Bronze steals our pride.

    A man on a motorcycle fired shots at police and then stole a police vehicle with at least two guns inside, investigators said. The unidentified man was wanted for an unrelated incident in Delaware County when police spotted him crashing a motorcycle along the 8400 block of Lindbergh Avenue in Philadelphia early Monday evening.

    About an hour later, the SUV was found in Deptford, New Jersey, about 40 minutes away in a residential neighborhood. The back window shot out. Police converged on that SUV Monday night. FOX 29's Chris O'Connell has been told all of the police weapons were still inside, but the tactical gear was missing.

    Anybody saw the white officer kicking the black suspect a couple of times while he was down already? I am calling for a riot, I need sneakers. Then one officer lead him away with his pants down. Why were his pants down?

    This is fun.......!
