Another pat on the back for Philadelphia
So I just recently read a post on Myspace from an anquiatence of mine who was just arrested on his lunch-break this past Friday. After going to grab a cup of coffee, he came across an old bicycle which he said seemed to be abandoned. Around here this is actually quite possible. He claimed to have stopped to inspect the bike, which was followed by him being handcuffed and placed under arrest. Evidently, this was a “bait bike”, yeah you heard right…a “bait bike”. Your fucking kidding me right? Apparently not.
I guess in a city where the murder rate this year has sky rocketed beyond anyone’s comprehension, this is the only thing the cops can think to do on a Friday afternoon. Now I have no issues with the boys in blue, they really don’t bother me. But c’mon people, people are being shot everyday, including cops. We live in one of the most dangerous cities in the world (statsticaly), and this is what we are doing about it. I love this city, but our priorities are all fucked up.
The moral of this story is, if you see a bike keep walkin’. But if you have a gun in your pocket, you’ll probably be alright.
