Six were killed in eight hours last night. Let’s read the Inquirer story about it.

Violence in Philadelphia last night left five dead and an armed man wounded in a span of eight hours. Another death in a West Philadelphia hobo camp is under investigation as a possible homicide.

Wait, really? HOBO CAMP? Well. There is a National Hobo Convention, so I guess it’s accurate. Erhm.

Yeah, I never really thought I’d see the words “hobo camp” in the newspaper. I’m not quite sure how to react.

Update: Google News shows three instances of “hobo camp” in newspapers this month.
