 Ruh roh. Another person was attacked on a SEPTA concourse yesterday, which means we’re in for another bit of hand-wringing from the media (unless the opinion settles on the idea the guy had it coming):
A West Philadelphia man is in critical condition this morning after being attacked by an unidentified assailant on a SEPTA concourse in Center City yesterday afternoon, police said.
No cameras captured images of the brutal beating which occurred about 3:25 p.m. on a stairway at 12th and Market Streets.
Witnesses said an older man stomped the victim, 23, numerous times in the head. Police are uncertain what prompted the beating. The attacker is described as black, with a scruffy beard and close-cropped hair, lanky, about 6-foot-2 and 170 pounds. He was wearing an oversized white T-shirt, dark capri-style jeans and tan Timberland boots.
“Black dude in an oversized white t-shirt” certainly narrows it down a bit, though that is a pretty thorough description. But capri-style jeans? This man should already have been taken off the street by the fashion police.

white people are so silly in their descriptions. they’re not capris they’re the silly really long shorts things that all the people who jump those in the subway like to wear
and by “people who jump those in the subway” i of course mean “black people” i was just feeling wordy
Wearing something like giant shorts, a giant t-shirt, and Timberlands he shouldn’t be hard to track down…
That’s why it’s called “The Uniform”; because it makes it all the harder to narrow down the search of these assholes who hurt people since, effectively, they look like the collective.
Another attack, and only a feet away from where the manager of Starbucks was beaten, too. I remember being on my skateboard on the way to Suburban Station and seeing the police arrive and start closing off the section. I honestly wish that man the best, he’s my age at that!
Wasn’t this a fight, not a jumping? http://whyy.org/blogs/itsourcity/2008/09/16/fighting-the-fear-of-crime/
After you teach the Regional Rail fan a lesson, let me know how much you want for a Glenside Local…
Oh they are indeed capris by definition. More evidence that the long shorts trend is out of control.
