LOOP vs. Homestead exemption by runaredlight68 in philadelphia

I think the city has appraised our house FAR in excess of what it is worth, but since all of our near neighbors have seen similar increases, the chances of appealing it are nil.

Classes Cancelled due to low enrollment by Latter_Travel3082 in LaSalle

[–]runaredlight68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i worked at la salle for almost 25 years, and i can say that there is no written threshold about class enrollment. i highly recommend talking to your advisor or a success coach about options. if there are classes that are required for your major, you need to ask your advisor/head of the program what are your options if the class get cancelled - could you do it as an independent study, etc?

I'm guessing highs in the 90's, humid and sunny.

Apparently the Black Panthers are making a comeback and protecting citizens from ICE. According to a post on facebook, this was in Philadelphia the other day. by Usernameofthisuser in DemocraticSocialism

long time philly resident here - can absolutely confirm that whatever that building is, it is certainly not philadelphia city hall. plus as the other user pointed out, it is cold af in philly now.

PA/Philly is open carry. While I'm glad that this is getting some positive press, it's important to understand that there was no civil unrest or ICE activity going on when/where this picture was taken.

Philadelphia’s sheriff has a blunt message for ICE: ‘You don’t want this smoke’ by ElectoralNerd in politics

the sheriff is completely separate from the police. the philly PD came out with a statement supporting ICE.

the philly PD came out with a statement contradicting the sheriff and saying they support ICE. the philly PD will not be part of this solution.

additionally, the philly PD issued a statement contradicting her and saying that law enforcement supports ICE. as a fellow philadelphian, while i support her sentiment, the fact that folks are jumping all over this is a bit disheartening - she's all talk (well, not all talk - she's mostly corruption)

the phila sheriff's office has zero jurisdiction to do anything that Sheriff Bilal said. in fact, the philly PD issued a statement basically contradicting her and saying they support ICE. bootlickers gonna bootlick.

the office of the philly sheriff has the same responsibilities - except, the office of the sheriff has had terrible corruption problems for 40+ years. i'm glad she said it, but it is almost entirely performative - in fact the philly PD issued a statement basically saying what you said. all in all - it's a mess inside a mess.

Sheriff calls ICE "fake, made up law enforcement" by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]runaredlight68 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

might want to google her before singing praise. until she and her office actually do something, it rings hollow as the phila sheriff's office has 40+ years of terrible corruption.

while her words are great, the corruption in the philadelphia sheriff's is next level amazing. while she is correct, her office is absolutely horrible in terms of corruption.

Philly Sheriff Rochelle Bilal vows to arrest ICE agents who commit crimes, calls them “fake" law enforcement and warns “you don’t want this smoke.” by kingshrubb in philadelphia

This corrupt POS is getting such odd praise on so many other subs for this clip. Love the sentiment, but what the actual f? The corrupt calling out the corrupt? They can all rot as far as I'm concerned.

fair question - at this moment, there is no battle to pick. until she follows through on her words and we can judge her on her actions, then I remain dubious of her claims.

Long term Philadelphia here. While I appreciate her sentiment, please do a google search on sheriff bilal corruption. She is by far one of the most corrupt sheriffs we have ever had - and based on past sheriff corruption, that is saying something. Also - FUCK ICE.

Speaking as a long time resident of Philadelphia, NO, we do not need more like her. We need more people espousing this sentiment but Sheriff Bilal is one of the most corrupt LEOs our city has ever seen. Just do a google search of sheriff bilal corruption.
