Default Violence at Geno's

The surveillance photos are quite good. Does anyone know these kids?

Verbal dispute? Something to do with Geno's sign about ordering in English maybe?

Looks like a bunch of Inuit who could not understand the Geno's sign.

Every time them Eskimos come down town it bad news.

I hope they find them and give them some serious time in jail.

I am not a big fan of the sign, but this is obviously disgusting.

It's a shame if it was an un-provoked attack... but I have gotten into an argument with a guy at genos before while walking by also, I went to Pats for a steak, and my girlfriend was ordering one from genos, while she was ordering I just put a squirt of Genos ketchup on my pats steak... you would have thought I stole $1000 from them, the guy yelled at me, wouldn't serve my girlfriend and then came out side and told me I better walk away quick or he was gonna make me regret messing with him... I told the guy- "i know its a big rivalry and all, but come on, 1 cent worth of ketchup and you are gonna threaten me? Besides, she was wasting 7 bucks at your place too, not like we weren't spending money there... so after the guy basically told me to get away, I threw what was left of my steak on the sidewalk, and told him that if he wanted the ketchup that bad, it was on the steak and he could take it back if he wanted it. I know, it wasn't the most mature thing to do... but neither was running out of a place of business to threaten someone for doing nothing!

I wonder if the two kids were Penn students.

They sure looked fairly nerdy.

Default He barked up the wrong tree

They're pretty disrespectful to everyone, not just immigrants..I went there once, asked where the hot sauce was and got yelled at (it wasn't even busy). I will bet 100 bucks that he was threatening these kids or talking trash, and he just picked the wrong people to mess with, hopefully he'll learn from this

Being disrespectful or talking trash is no reason for a beating like that, no matter the reputation of the establishment.

Did you look at the story at all?

The taller of the two in the tan jacket was in a verbal altercation with the person at the window.

The victim was steam-cleaning the sidewalk (say what you want, that place is clean), and witnessed this dispute. He interceded, they picked him up and dropped him. A few times. Nice. Fractured vertebrae, cheek, loss of hearing.

While watching the early Fox29 report this morning, Steve, oompaloompa Keeley, said that a woman went up to him after a prior airing, and said that she thought she recognized tri-colored jacket.

But, just keep on with your assumptions and slamming of the business. That will help.

all the wimpys that don't know how to order a cheesesteak and only complain about their hurt "feelings" need to either toughen up or don't eat cheesesteaks.

Those kids definitely look nerdy...haha..all of philly is on the lookout for them and they'll soon get it
