“I hate incompetence. I think it’s probably the only thing I do hate. But it didn’t make me want to rule people. Nor to teach them anything. It made me want to do my own work in my own way and let myself be torn to pieces if necessary.”

ANOTHER PHILLY CLUSTERF*CK

Another example of Philly incompetence, corruption, and terrible decision making. The morons running SEPTA decided to replace their functional 1960s produced trains with the cheapest foreign made trains and then had them assembled by union workers in South Philly. After 4 years of service all of the new trains are defective and could derail at any time. These boobs now have to take 33% of their fleet offline for months.

You can be sure this company has feathered the nests of the politicians who chose them. When black thugs aren’t terrorizing passengers on the platforms, their brand new trains are falling apart. They are so well run that revenue comes up only $850 million short of expenses. Taxpayers are forced to subsidize their massive loss. Maybe another advertising campaign using taxpayer funds will rectify this slight problem. Philly is the clusterfuck capital of the world. I can’t wait for the DNC in three weeks.

Silverliner V 101: The problematic backstory of SEPTA’s futuristic cars

Just like that, a third of the cars on SEPTA’s incredibly popular Regional Rail line went out of service, one day into the holiday weekend that best showcases Philadelphia.On Saturday, the transit authority abruptly sidelined 120 of its Silverliner V passenger cars due to a “significant structural defect” after staffers noticed they were “leaning.” Ominously, the move set the stage for a potential commuting mess when the 130,000 people who ride the Regional Rail try to do that again after the July 4 holiday.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARLESTON SLAUGHTER

Obama and his control freak government minions want you to believe tougher gun laws and more government control will protect us from mass murderers. Complete and utter bullshit. I wonder if this story will be on the all the MSM national news stations. The shooter was arrested on March 1 on drug offenses. He purchased a weapon on April 11. Here is your government drones at work. I’ve purchased guns. They will not sell you a gun until they check the FBI background computer system. Your beloved government protectors couldn’t update their computer system properly in 41 days????

The government is evil, incompetent, overbearing, and as useless as teats on a boar. The FBI is great at creating fake terrorist plots and then stopping them. Press releases abound. The MSM breathlessly announces how the government saved us again.

They aren’t so good at keeping criminals from getting guns. Obama’s solution is to pass more laws that the FBI is too incompetent to enforce.

FBI Admits Error in Charleston Suspect’s Gun Background Check

Federal investigators made an error by not stopping the accused South Carolina mass shooter from purchasing a handgun in April, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey said Friday, adding the alleged assailant’s criminal background should have disqualified him.

Dylann Roof, accused of shooting nine people at a Charleston church last month, attempted to purchase a handgun on April 11, Mr. Comey told reporters.

The FBI began a background check, but a federal examiner did not obtain a report on a Columbia, S.C., arrest record from March 1 that showed he had admitted to using drugs. That should have disqualified him from buying a firearm.


L.A. POLICE SHOOT FIRST – KILL INNOCENT MAN – APOLOGIZE LATER

What would we do without 2nd responders who shoot and kill the good Samaritans who try and actually save people when a crime is being committed? Too bad it wasn’t the NYPD because we know they can’t shoot straight. The lesson learned is not to get involved or the trained professionals will kill you by accident. Know your enemy.

‘Tosh.0’ production assistant shot, killed by cops after he’s mistaken for stabbing suspect in Los Angeles

John Winkler was reportedly trying escape Alexander McDonald, who had allegedly been holding two of his neighbors hostage at knifepoint, when L.A. County sheriff’s deputies gunned him down Monday night.

John Winkler, 30, a one-time production assistant on the Comedy Central show Tosh.0, was gunned down by Los Angeles sheriff's deputies who mistook him for a hostage taker
Facebook John Winkler, a 30-year-old production assistant on the Comedy Central show ‘Tosh.0’, was reportedly gunned down by Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies who mistook him for a hostage taker.

A production assistant for Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0” was shot and killed by L.A. County sheriff’s deputies after being mistaken for a stabbing suspect.

John Winkler was reportedly trying to escape alleged attacker Alexander McDonald when he was erroneously gunned down outside his West Hollywood apartment Monday night.

The 30-year-old went to a neighbor’s home after hearing screams, to help out two friends being held captive at knife-point, according to the L.A. Times.

Authorities claim McDonald began fighting with the trio before stabbing them.

Deputies were called. After arriving at 9:30 p.m., they saw one of the men bursting out of the door – covered in blood and hemorrhaging from the neck.

	Officials say Winkler's friend and neighbor Alexander McDonald, 27 (pictured here) took the aspiring producer and two other men hostage at knife-point, and then began stabbing them<br />
Facebook Alexander McDonald, 27, allegedly took the aspiring producer and two other men hostage at knife-point.

Winkler followed out close behind – and appeared to be lunging at the first man.

Thinking the aspiring TV producer was the suspect because he was wearing a similar black T-shirt, three deputies opened fire – and hit both men.

Winkler was fatally wounded with a single shot. Rushed to hospital, he was soon declared dead. His friend was injured in the leg, and remains in stable condition.

Deputies then ran inside and allegedly saw McDonald choking one of the other men on the floor. They split the pair up, before arresting McDonald.

He’s since been charged with torture, murder and attempted murder – and is being held on $4 million bail, reports KTLA.

Interim Sheriff John Scott told the Los Angeles Times that the shooting was “very tragic.”

“I have no doubt the entire Sheriff’s Department mourns the death of John Winkler, none more than the deputies involved,” he added.

Winkler’s roommate Devin Richardson said his pal, who’d moved to Cali. from Washington state six months ago, was friends with two of the men taken hostage.

PHILA GOV’T DRONES TICKET YOU TO DEATH & AFTER DEATH

We already know Philadelphia and every other urban shithole in this country is run by dumbass liberal Democratic politicians of color. The government union drones are generally incompetent, overpaid, ignorant and have no interest in serving the taxpayers who pay their bloated salaries and pensions.

The Philadelphia Parking authority drones go above and beyond when it comes to stupidity and hate for the people they are supposed to serve. They are nothing but a revenue generating machine for the liberal utopian shithole city of Phila.

This past week they exceeded expectations on a grand scale.

It seems a 22 year old Pre-med student from Temple University, and mother of two young children, had gone missing on February 9. A statewide search was underway. Presumably the police knew the make, model, and year of her car and had entered it into some sort of database that could be accessed by the Phila Parking Authority. A search of license plate numbers would have surely revealed the car as being owned by a missing person.

It seems the boneheads at the Phila Parking Authority towed her car from downtown Phila on February 10 and for some unknown fucking reason parked it on another street near 30th Street Station. Evidently they parked it in an illegal spot because this very same group of douchenozzles then proceeded to ticket the car seven times and eventually place a a boot on the wheel for unpaid parking tickets. All of this took place over a two week period.

One little problem. The woman was dead inside the car the entire time in the driver’s seat. Not one drone at the parking authority had the wherewithal to run a check on the license plate number? These worthless schlubs felt their only duty was to generate revenue by writing 7 tickets and meeting their quota for the week.

The article in the Daily News quotes another government drone police officer desperately trying to spin this disgusting display of gross negligence and incompetence by these “public servants” by trying to convince people the tinted windows made it impossible to see the dead body in the driver’s seat. Here is a picture of the car. I can see inside the fucking windows from half a block away.

The body of  Nadia Malik was found in her black Nissan near the  30th Street train station in Philadelphia  on Thursday.

Think about this for one minute. You had at least one worthless government drone who had to tow the car. You would think he would look inside. Then you have one or more government drones placing a ticket on the windshield for seven consecutive days, with the dead woman sitting there.

And still the vast majority of ignorant Americans actually think more government in our lives will be better. Your healthcare is going to be run by these same drones.
