What would you call forcing people to perform labor? Just because it’s not as bad as it was in the past, doesn’t mean there are still improvements to be made. I totally agree that they should have to pay damages, but doing 200 hours of community service? Or what? They get put in jail? Call it what you want, but it certainly doesn’t sound like not slavery.

Temple students started a go fundme for the owner (a disabled vet and Temple alumni) that was up to 13k as of this morning . I believe they were planning on giving him the funds by the end of this week.

I was on tiny alleys of streets, the kinds people try to avoid driving down because you practically have to get your tires up on the curb. Didn’t have a kid at the time and so didn’t mind the lack of kids, but if we come back (doubtful) I’d want to set up my son somewhere on the livelier side, as you experience.

Lounge in my favorite local coffee shop, putz around a local park, grab a snack at Riverwards for lunch, wander around the art museum until I’m hungry again and then arrive for dinner at Vedge
Exactly what I’m doing tomorrow

cleaning up the mess you made isn't slavery (and tossing around the word "slavery" to describe normal tasks really minimizes how horrific slavery was/is)

Bring back the stockade, public mockery and shaming are effective punishments.

You, Passyunk Square and EPX are probably the most kid friendly neighborhoods in the city that don’t cost a fortune. Also the Rec center is a wonderful resource—and they just installed a sprayground!

I’m personally not a big fan of slavery, even as punishment for a crime.

So many great splash pads. I know there are serious staffing and maintenance issues, but the free public pools are AMAZING, never take them for granted. Sister City park is really sweet, too.

it's very possible the car owners insurance company subrogates (sues) these guys for restitution for vandalism.

This 100%, really tackling the hard hitting issues of the city and giving himself a Pat on the back. The sanctimony needs to cease.

I get so fucking mad thinking about how one of the first things Kenney did after getting elected was waste all that money and effort converting this building, so that the city would be forced to hand Bart Blatstein a massive check to rent the Inquirer building.
I knew right then and there Kenney was not going to be a good mayor for the city, and he only got worse from there.
This development is nice, but this should have been the new PPD headquarters.

We have plenty of kid friendly places.. the problem is the school system.
If you can afford private it’s alright but lacks diversity IMO and as a POC that’s like top of the list for me.
The charter schools are alright but hit or miss for the most part

You know what's wild? So many kids at Temple do community service/volunteering just because it's a good thing to do. And then there's these jackoffs.

I think everyone's punishment should be community service of cleaning up this city on top of whatever else they're given
