Death At, Erhm, Hobo Camp

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.
