No Free Rides For Beret-Wearing Men
 |
Of course, that's being unfair to the Angels; they might not even be patrolling at all. Daily News reporter Damon C. Williams writes Angels founder Curtis Silwa is nowhere to be found now that he's made his presence felt initially: "Curtis Sliwa seems to have disappeared during this recent crime wave, and commuters, interviewed live on various 5-and-11 p.m. newscasts, say they have yet to see any Angels really working in the subways, on the trains and platforms."
Yesterday, the Angels met with Police Commissioner Charles Ramsay and asked for free rides on SEPTA. Whoops: No dice. Ramsay said, "That's not my bailiwick." Bailiwick! Really? Anyway, SEPTA says they're not allowed to give free tokens to the Angels -- which, honestly, seems weird -- so I suppose they will have to disappear into the darkness. Until another dust-up in the city, when the Angels can announce they will be patrolling soon and everyone can report on it as if they haven't announced they'd be patrolling areas many times before.

Can u tell me y ppl are pointing there fingers because they don't see Curtis Sliwa.
Between the time that u were looking to see Mr Sliwa, u could have taken a ride on the trains, deterred a crime, and maybe support the Guardian Angels for the effort that they have put forward for the safety of the city.
This is a volunteer gig, no ones paying these Berets to be there, but they are doing the best of their ability...and u knock them for it, are u that lazy and so fast to not except the blame of what u have allowed ur city to become.
If u don't have an answer...open ur mouth, make noise and don't point the finger at someone else.
The City Police, The Septa Police, and The Guardian Angels, and the whole time, its all ur fought ur city is in this mess...because u allowed it to get there. Were u sleeping, did this just happen overnight.
WAKE UP PHILLY, WAKE UP !
Stop Pointing The Finger...Get Off Ur Butt And Do Something Ur self".

It's obvious- Silwa is behind the attacks. He's a criminal mastermind!
