Today's senseless shootings

The "news" always ask for help in identifying the perps, but never gives any hint to the description even when some information is available.

I'm guessing that's because there are too many inconvenient consistencies in the descriptions, but I could be wrong.

You should see them around here. Just last night, one decided he didn't want to wait,
so he drove all the way up the turning lane and cut in at the very end.
They do it daily on all four sections of the intersection.
It seems they never get pulled over, Ive witnessed it a dozen times in a few months, never seen one get nabbed.

What, harassing motorists and filling the coffers of the local government with $$$ from minor traffic offenses? Nah, we ain*t having none of that.

Gang bangers shooting and killing each other in the city? Meh, cost of doing business in the drug trade, but these stories are what really threaten gun ownership in this county:


1. Man shot and killed in leafy Springfield, DELCO during morning rush hour. A 54/yo man and his wife were apparently driving too slow for the likes of some asshole. A female driver pulled over and this asshole male passenger jumps out and shoots the other driver in the head through the car windshield. They took off and remain at large.

2. A beautiful 21 y/o young woman was shot and killed in a bar in NE Philly last night after three assholes came in and started a ruckus because the pool table was in use. They finally get kicked out of the bar and one of them retrieved a pistol and emptied the mag into the bar from about two hundred feet away killing this young girl who was actually toward the back of the bar where she was shot in the head. She was reluctantly there with friends as a designated driver and described as a home body who rarely goes out.

Sweet! I knew it wouldn't take long. We dont like that shit around here.

U.S. Marshalls arrest Anthony Nelson in AC for killing NE Philly female. The Marshalls using their resources again

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man wanted for allegedly shooting into a Northeast Philadelphia bar and killing an innocent bystander was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on Wednesday.

Anthony Nelson, 47, who was wanted for the murder of 21-year-old Jailene Holton, was arrested at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City.


"Our community is deeply diminished by the utterly appalling and senseless loss of Jailene, who held such great promise for a tremendous future. Our hope is that the quick capture of this heinous perpetrator will bring some comfort to the Holton family," officials said.


Police said a man, who was kicked out of the bar, walked out to a pick-up truck and fired 15 shots into the building. A 21-year-old woman was fatally shot in the head.


According to police, the shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. on June 28 at the Philly Bar and Restaurant in Northeast Philadelphia.

Police said employees tried to kick three men out of the bar who were causing a disturbance, but one had to be forced out.

The man then walked to a pickup truck, about 200 feet away, and fired 15 shots into the bar, police said.

All three men left the scene in the truck.

Investigators said five of the bullets went through the front window, and one struck Holton in the head.

Police said she was hanging out with friends when they saw her fall to the ground.

James Holton, Jailene's uncle, said she was a good kid and was acting as the designated driver.

"She didn't go out often. Her friend called her up, she went out to Topgolf and then they came (to the Philly Bar and Restaurant). They were only going to be there for about 15 to 20 minutes and that's when the altercation broke out and whatever this guy started shooting," James Holton said.

Supervisory Deputy Marshal Robert Clark was there when Nelson was caught Wednesday.

"A lot of our investigators on the task force have children. This was an unnecessary random act of violence. It's a horrific act and we're just very grateful we were able to get out there and get him into custody in under 12 hours," said Clark. "We started at 5:30 (Wednesday) morning, exhausted some leads here in the city of Philadelphia. We had some other things we needed to run down in South Jersey and, lo and behold, we found a spot for him at Harrah's Casino."

Once there, Deputy Clark says they pinpointed Nelson in a room.

"Once he realized we were there and weren't going away, we were able to get him into custody safely without anybody getting hurt," said Clark.

The fact Nelson was found in Atlantic City leads U.S. Marshals to think he was fully aware of what he was accused of.

"We do believe that he knew he was wanted," added Clark.

Neighbors in Philadelphia are now breathing a sigh of relief.

"I'm just happy. At the end of the day nobody deserves to die," said Sandip Panchel of Northeast Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police say Nelson is facing murder charges. He is currently awaiting extradition back to Philadelphia.

It's still unclear if the other men who left the bar in the truck will face charges.

Heard this on the news. 47 years old? 47? How did this psycho POS get this far and still be out in society? Gotta assume he has a priors list.

[Krichardson]

Nelson's listed address is in North Philly? I'm not sure what he was doing in that area but it's too bad he had to go to that bar and start trouble.There are a few watering holes around Broad and Erie he could have gone to if he wanted to get into a gunfight but he mightve gotten more than he could handle and wound up being a victim himself.

[Walleye Hunter]

I hope it's federal charges and Krapner can't fuck it up.

I hope it's federal charges and Krapner can't fuck it up.

But you're ok with the feds fucking it up?

[Walleye Hunter]

But you're ok with the feds fucking it up?

NOOOOOOOOOOO! But I KNOW that Krapner will, I still have hope that the feds will not.

Her son, Saddiq Washington, was charged with first degree murder in connection to the homicide of King Hua.
