Philly's Finest at Work |

Tonight, in my attempt to make this a worthwhile blog, I headed downtown to get some pictures of the beautiful Philadelphia Skyline. Unfortunately, I was sidetracked at 8:00, as a witness for a hit and run accident.
A woman was changing lanes and did not see the car that would crush her door and send her to the hospital. As I pulled to a stop, he sped away. Fortunately, I was able to get the make, model and a portion of the license plate. After a call to 911, two fire engines, and ambulance and a police car were at the scene with 2 minutes. 90 minutes later, I gave a statement to the police and was able to go. I had my son and wife with me and really could not do what I wanted to in regards with the skyline, but I was able to get some pictures of the brave men of the Philadelphia Fire and Police Departments using the jaws of life and nearly every tool in their arsenal to free the driver.
The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital. On a positive note, the police found the car that fled the scene and were searching for the driver.

Are You Kidding Me |

Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the Western Allied bombing of Dresden during World War Two stating that civilians should not have been targeted in this way since there was no military reason for the bombing. What exactly was the Soviet's military reasoning for the rape and murder of thousands of German citizens after the fall of Berlin? What was German's military for the use of the non-guided rockets against England? It is this type of Euro-Hand Holding that continues to make me believe that we are among the few sane nations let in this world. WW2 was a gruesome period in world history. It was the only major modern war in which civilian areas were considered viable military targets by all combatants. Dresden, London, Leningrad, Tokyo, Singapore, the Philippines and many others were all victims of their attackers. Why exactly would Mr. Putin choose such an item during an interview to a German Newspaper regarding the commemoration of the end of the war, if not to be divisive and continue to separate himself from the US. MSNBC.com states, "Putin said the civilian population in Germany had suffered greatly during the war but said it was not the Soviets’ fault." You may be right Mr. Putin, but neglect to comment about the thousands of women that were raped in Berlin after the war, and you conveniently fail to recollect the nearly 45 years of tyrannical rule in East Germany after the war. When will our President realize that Putin and the other socialist European leaders are not our friends? Their best days will always be history, but if the US is not careful, we too will read about the past greatness that was America.
