ok. so turns out the south philly itialian neighbors assaulted the party goers. some teens were hitting people with bats who were getting knocked out by their fathers. this was after the cops had already said that the manner of the party was acceptable. when the cops showed up to the fight, none of the neighbors who assaulted the bikers were arrested, and they even tried to blame the bikers on starting the fight.

this pisses me off to no end. mainly because i know how strong the ties are between the friends and family of long standing south philly residents. and that these neighbors most likely got away with this because they know the guys on the force.

i have a rought draft of a piece being sent to the PW that has a lot more details, but i dont want it posted publicly since its likely to end up in print and i dont want to mess anythign up there. PM me if you want to read it.

edit: its not something i wrote. its just been passed along. otherwise i would be more likely to share it pulblicly.
