Disturbing moment gunman points weapon at Philadelphia subway passenger's head: SEPTA cops launch probe as the Dem-led city records 750 shootings in 'summer of mayhem'
Stephan M. Lepore, The Daily Mail, September 26,2022

- The video, which went viral on Reddit and Twitter, shows a gunman sticking up and pointing his weapon to the head of a man waiting on the subway
- Both Philadelphia police and officials for SEPTA, the area's transit system, told DailyMail.com the incident happened in July
- A SEPTA spokesperson said that no shots were fired during the incident and no one was injured
- Spokespersons for both the police and transit say that no arrests have been made and the event is still under investigation

A gunman was seen holding a weapon to a subway passenger's head in Philadelphia as the city continues to go through a crime wave after the 'summer of mayhem' which saw over 750 shootings.

The disturbing video, which went viral online, shows the man wearing a black hoodie, stick up and point his gun to the head of a man waiting for a train on the platform.

Both Philadelphia police and officials for SEPTA, the area's transit system, told DailyMail.com the incident happened in July.



A SEPTA spokesperson said that no shots were fired during the incident and no one was injured - however the harrowing footage has rocked residents in the crime-ridden city.

The man, sitting on the ground in a white hat as he took a sip from a water bottle, seemed to shrug off the potential threat as a bystander recorded the incident.

Spokespersons for both the police and transit say that no arrests have been made and the event is still under investigation.

The man holding the gun appeared to have posted the video on his Instagram account before taking it private.

It occurred during a summer in which, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 750 shootings happened in the City of Brotherly Love, according to Philadelphia Inquirer.

Just this Monday afternoon, a 19-year-old was murdered after taking 21 gunshots to the body, according to Fox29. Police have yet to make an arrest in the case.

Like in many big cities across America, crime is up 26.5 percent in Philadelphia through September 25.

Shootings and robberies are up in Philly in 2022, though homicides, rapes and assaults are down.

Notably, Philadelphia's District Attorney is the controversial Larry Krasner, who was re-elected in 2021 but has faced dubious impeachment attempts in 2022, a so-called 'progressive' DA.

In June, the Democrat mayor of Philadelphia has blasted the 'horrendous, brazen and despicable act of gun violence' plaguing the nation after an overnight mass shooting left three dead and at least 11 injured in his city.

Jim Kenney called for officials to 'address the availability and ease of access to firearms' in the US as a manhunt was underway for the gunmen involved in Saturday's vile attack.

Kenney, like many of his fellow Democrats, called for stricter gun laws and stronger measures to curb gun violence.

Unsurprisingly, Maine is one of the safest.

Now lets look at the worst for violent crime:

1st) Alaska, Republican

2nd) New Mexico, Dem

3rd) Tennessee, Republican

4th) Arkansas, Republican, but it's a bit of a swinger

As you can see, it's a national problem, but Republicans have 3 of the 4 worst states.

One thing is certain, the Justice system needs reform, all of it, from the street cop to the Supreme Court.

@BlutoSays

Thank you for a very good example of why handgun ownership should be very carefully controlled and concealed carry abolished for anyone without a needs based license.

I completely agree with you on this.

[Pants-of-dog]

@BlutoSays

We are in agreement that cities and states need to spend more money addressing the root causes of violence. More support for social services that reduce this sort of violence is a good idea.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You think the guy brandishing a gun is going to follow any law and register or surrender his gun?

You should try Earth sometime.

Anudder BS study by progressive retards. Late leads the pack.

Anudder BS study

If it was BS, you'd love it.

You can always jiggle the numbers a little. What you can't do is erase the enormous challenges some states face. The reality is Northern New England: Maine, NH, Vermont, come out on top of safety metrics. Ignoring Alaska, there's a number of states, mostly Republican states, with crap education, high levels of crime, bad to terrible health problems, etc. Alaska has all those things, but the environment is the root cause, Republican stupidity is less of an issue.

Of course, that's in the real world, and you have made it abundantly clear you never visit reality..

Hey pal, I lived in Rhode Island for a decade and went north often. You know GD well Maine, NH, Vermont are lilly white. YOU KNOW THIS. But you never speak of it, do ya? Not convenient to your argument, right?

Your donkey blue states have crap education also, not because of inadequate funding, which you would like to blame every problem on, but because of declining standards in the U.S. Our students literally can't hack it. So a B becomes an A, a C becomes a B, the grading curve, spelling doesn't count, pushing soft subjects instead of STEM, redefining the language and terms for political correctness reasons like PEDOPHILES suddenly being referred to as MINOR ATTRACTED PERSONS and all the rest of the liberal BS you and your ilk push.

High levels of crime? You wanna look at the inner-shitties, where most of the murders occur? Look, you keep telling us how wonderful things are.... and yet, all signs point to your cock-eyed ideology failing and you telling us "but let's keep going". No, let's not. It's obvious you don't know what the fook you are doing.

Wait. You think the Wall Street Journal people are "progressive retards"?

Your donkey blue states have crap education also, not because of inadequate funding, which you would like to blame every problem on, but because of declining standards in the U.S.

But measurably better on balance than the red states.

I agree with you that standards in US schools are FAR too low. We are FAR to invested in trying to get the kids to do two things (science and math) in schools that should, through high standards and acceptable discipline, get them to do a dozen or more.

You would be wise Bluto, to not try to politicize the schools. The red states are abominable at education. If you think about what you said, they prove against your point. They do not fund schools at acceptable levels and the result is poor student performance. And, oh by the way, the red states suck at the federal tit FAR more than they blue ones do. They get a FAR higher percentage of their school funding from the feds.

Listen fellow conservative. Being conservative is not an excuse for intellectual laziness. We have a good conservative agenda upon which we can stand. Running schools is not our strong point. Cutting spending is something at which we suck. Cutting the deficit even worse. We need to stick to moral issues because when it comes to governance we are a dumpster fire.

Several points here. Red states are run much better than blue states. In fact, legislatures and governorships are dominated by red states. Secondly, blue states rely heavily on Washington DC for largesse. It's why democrats pass large bills and then throw large blocks of funds at blue states. But that's OK. The federal government should GTF out of education anyway. Most of what they do is a travesty. They're too far away from the end customer and they lose focus. Large shitty cities have very strong unionization. THEY rule the roost, regardless of what parents want. Again... here we go with the lack of the price-discovery-feedback signal through excessive taxation and underperformance.

There are bad states like Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and some others. But then you also have California, which for population and a close to 10% state tax has VERY shitty public education.

Another problem is that schools have become indoctrination camps that focus less on scholastic subjects and more on how a student should think/feel. And it's BS.

Of course I'm going to politicize it. You think I shouldn't? You think it would not be wise? I think continuing on with the BS we're being fed by the left is untenable. But you keep telling us you're Republican as Rome burns. Sorry, I don't have time for your games.

Moral issues? Oh F that. I certainly don't want Republicans or Democrats on that bandwagon. But what do we have today in REALITY? A theocracy of the DNC pushing their brand of religion as the new religion. You know it. I know it. That's why they want to replace religion in general... because they want the STATE to be the new religion. Whatever Uncle Sham pushes... well, bow your head and obey. Covid/vaccines/daily fear porn of the state media should have taught you that. Where have you been the last few years?

Our governance is a dumpster fire? Are you shitting me?

Step back and look at it objectively. You have January 6th vice a whole summer of burning down cities in 2020. You have president and his family making big coin via China and a helluva conflict of interest, but that's not advertised because it's an inconvenient truth on the other side. You have Russia gate, Hillary and the DNC BUYING a fake dossier and then using FISA for political gain via lies, but that's ignored because it's inconvenient to democrats. You have Biden ON CAMERA stating if the prosecutor in Ukraine is not fired (who was going after his son, Hunter), they will not get a Billion dollars in US funding. That's admission of extortion on camera. You have the FBI being weaponized against political enemies and you know that's happening. There are too many coincidences for this not to be a play by the DNC. Two rickety impeachments? Anything goes, right? And you want to be coy on moral issues? What I'll say is you have either forgotten a lot of BS that's gone on or you are a democrat and have always been one.

LIke I said, if you are a republican, walk to the other side, because you've lost your way and you aren't needed. Go with God, but go.

We have been getting a lot of Black people moving here because they don't get as much as crap... Keep up the racism, lets us know what you are not.

There's some truth to that, but Republicans are expert at making things worse.

Inner cities decay because we let them decay, and we let them stay that way. Ain't rocket science.

Why do you bother? You don't have a clue, and you don't want a clue..

Secondly, blue states rely heavily on Washington DC for largesse.

Red states get more Fed money than Blue states...

"Eight of the 10 states most dependent on the federal government were Republican-voting, with the average red state receiving $1.35 per dollar spent.

Nine states sent more to the federal government than they received — seven of these were Democrat-voting and had higher per capita GDPs than many of the red states that received the most.

New Mexico had the highest return on federal spending of any state ($4.33), and Delaware had the lowest ($0.63).

The eight states receiving the highest child tax credit per capita were all Republican-voting."

Oh good for you!! Keep checking those boxes to get the window dressing up.






Inner cities decay not because a lack of money, but because of a lack of standards. IN FACT, decay is CAUSED by too much money. There's so much money sloshing around in the system, there's corruption everywhere.

Everything you touch turns to shit and you know why? Because you don't even have the fundamentals down correctly. You don't believe in tough love. You believe in enabling failure.

You should study Marion Barry (D) sometime. One of the smartest people around at the time and mayor of Washington DC and also one of the most corrupt. Insane what he got away with in graft, but not dumb.

Hey, we'll see in November, but honest to God, your brand of fixes is a fucking travesty. You just have no clue when it comes to human nature, human character and why people do what they do.

There's a number of reasons, excess money isn't one of them.

There are different types of decay, but that would take our dreary conversation far too close to reality.

Not that you will understand this, but the 60s and 70s ended...

I think they do not care about reducing crime.
