The car wash is right next door.

It's a poor neighborhood and illegal guns are at a premium that's not afforded by many out that way.

I did read the article--I find it hard to believe that they didn't actually take anything yet someone found this poor guy unconcious and needing neurosurgery.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything other than the details of the article, I see they recovered his cell phone and wallet but it just seems out of control that someone would be beaten that badly by a brick for nothing at all.

<disclaimer>I really hope he's ok and I'm really sorry that it happened. It shouldn't happen anywhere to anyone.</disclaimer>

He got hit with a brick in the parking lot of venus video.
He was probably bringing wool to the nuns that volunteer their time there crocheting blankets as Christmas gifts for poor children. They just call it Venus Video to help keep the secret from the kids.

(dude that's your story .. stick to it)


But Benedetti apparently fought back and did not surrender his property - police recovered his wallet and his cell phone. After being struck, he staggered into the Venus Video store, where an employee called police. Walker said a bloody red brick was recovered at the scene.

Great place to buy drugs, hookers or pay off debt.

Wow, so even non-Bushites have spin doctors these days?

How about a saw? I was attacked by two people with a saw. A brick, a saw, a rock, a hammer, a wrench, a pipe, a frozen leg of lamb, a fist, etc. A weapon can be many things.

My attackers also used a can of beer.

That could also be said of Manayunk. Although Main St. started to come back in the early 90's one could still go to a brothel there up until a couple of years ago. Drugs and prostitution in Philly are common and tolerated to some extent.
