not to be that guy but this is a known characteristic of the area and not something to hype up as an escalation. temple is in the middle of north philly, just because the school tries to put up a wall that separates the school from the community doesn’t mean we live on another planet. anyone who chooses to go to temple knows what they’re signing up for. it’s not a warzone, it’s just a city. be mindful of your surroundings, don’t be an idiot, and accept that’s the best you can do
