#1 The man gave identification with the name Shahid Batti. But he did not look like the man in the photo IDs.

Then why did he get the first $8,700?

#2 In other Philly news, Girl Grazed by Bullet Shot From School Bus.

Note the "from" in the above headline. Rough town...

#3 Dave, the police didn't find the weapon on the bus or by the roadside along the route? And didn't question the kids to find out who did the shooting?

Wow.

#5 "Dave, the police didn't find the weapon on the bus or by the roadside along the route?"

A gun tossed out the window in this neighborhood (about a mile from where I work) wouldn't even hit the ground before someone made off with it.

"And didn't question the kids to find out who did the shooting?"

That'd be snitching. Philly kids don't snitch: they just "take care of bidness". Like with the poor slob who tried to expose himself to a bunch of 7th-graders from a girls' school and would have been beaten to death if the cops hadn't rescued him...

#7 Well, I do know Philly culture a bit. Just surprised the cops would let this one pass without some pressure on the kids, I guess.

Back to the main story, let's keep track of this over time and see if we ever learn more about him and what he was trying to do.

#8 ...and why would bail be set at all?

#9 Trust me when I say this: there is a Paleo underground criminal/terrorist network throughout the USA. A stronghold of same is located in Philly. The $$$ being w/drawn was dirty and intended to support an on-going enterprise here in the USA or earmarked to go back to the West Bank/Gaza Strip.

If people in the USA could begin to fathom the extent of "criminal" enterprises here in the USA supporting terrorist operations overseas the outcry would be deafening. I'm talking robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, car theft, fencing etc on a scale that would make the likes of Tony Soprano envious.

I get this from an excellent source and can say no more! (Except this: the authorities are only scratching the surface and don't trust anybody who seems "moderate-secular" but was born a muslim in a foreign country).

Seems like a real good reason to expel all muslims from our shores then.

#11 don't trust anybody who seems "moderate-secular" but was born a muslim in a foreign country

Shuckey darn and golly gee whillickers! Knock me down with a feather! Now where have I ever heard thet before. I'll take all the heat anyone wants to dump on me for advocating mass deportations. Short of internment camps or outright executions, deportation may well prove to be one of the few tools we have to save our nation.

For a start, there needs to be a massive crackdown on the halawa network of informal underground funds transfer. All Arab and Muslim owned retail businesses need to be scrutinized for participation in this common form of terrorist funding.
