Philadelphia Police Make Arrest in Subway Hammer Attack

Commissioner Ramsey shouldn't be suprised when bystanders don't help. Ramsey and Mayor Nutter have criminalized law-abiding citizens rights to protect themselves by denying the right to carry a concealed weapon.

Filthadelphia will always be a haven for criminal thugs as long as hip-hop mayors and corrupt police are employed.

Cory you moron, you don't need a gun to stop a guy with a hammer. You just need 2 or 3 people who aren't a bunch of pussies to stand up for whats right. The world would be so much better off if everyone was willing to speak up and fight back when things are wrong.

Cory:

What does having or not having a gun have to do with 10 people stopping 1 guy with a hammer? Like Braden said, it just takes a couple of non-pussies to stop this guy, not a gun.

Is it that easy to stop a fit, young, mentally-ill ex-convict with a hammer beating someone else? Even for a few people?

I've seen arrest videos where five police officers beating someone in the head with sticks have trouble getting the job done. These are trained professionals with equipment, team-mates, and the weight of the law behind them.

I'm not surprised average transit riders didn't feel up to risking their own life and limb. Most of them probably didn't even have a hammer.

At least we now know that the average Philadelphian is a weak-willed, spineless coward.

... kinda like when 80 people can't stop 4 people with exacto knives

It's been bred into society for generations - don't be a hero, wait for someone in a uniform.

I said a concealed weapon, Braden and SPQR. Knives, OC sprays, and stun guns are all considered illegal in Filthadelphia. How do you know a gun wasn't necessary? Obviously someone's life was in danger.

Of course, you're both internet toughguys and think that you can take any armed man down. I'd like to see you do that when you get to be my age.

Is it easy to stand around and watch someone get their skull bashed in with a hammer? Try and justify it all you want, Eugene, I'm sure there were some able bodied people on that train, and they were p___ies. Yeah, there was probably some risk involved in helping. That's the price you pay for not being a little wuss.

The ONLY way to fight back is with a firearm. That's the one thing that the youth of Philly understand and is the only effective tool available. Unless you're going to shoot someone, stay out of the fracus.

we over here in ky are not a bunch of pussy's. we would put the twins to work and give the hammer man what he needed. twins here are 44 cal.
