“No injuries were reported.”

So the crime remains high and people still can’t shoot for s**t in my old homeytown. Philly, I am comforted by your consistency in this ever changing world. And by the cheese steaks. Mmmm, cheese steaks……

Frickin cheese wizz on a steak sammich is NOT a cheesesteak. But ditto - current attack and can't get a gun on target at spitting distance??? Maybe he fired once or twice on the draw and they scooted.

Makes me not want to ride the subways ANYWHERE. Wow.

More practice required.

Its the rushing adrenaline from stress causing confusion. Everyone thinks that because they are carrying a self defense weapon they are ready for any type of deadly defensive encounter(s), in reality you need to FIRST know how to critically think, and shoot accurately ...

Subways are annoying

I think the first time i went to atl for work my boss was like yeah you just get off the plane hop on the marta and it stops right at downtown.

Never again

That dude was canadian and they put gravy on french fries so they can't be trusted

100% agree. Growing up in Philly in the 70’s my family and I ate a ton of steak sandwiches all over the city, but we very rarely ran into the wizz, and never ate it. (Insert jokes here)

Maybe my perspective is skewed, but I swear wizz was a very fringe thing back in the day, offered at a relatively few joints. Seems to me wizz became a popular media thing in the 90’s, after I had left the area.
