A journalist and advocate who rose from homelessness and addiction to serve as a spokesperson for Philadelphia’s most vulnerable was shot and killed at his home early Monday, police said.

Josh Kruger, 39, was shot seven times at about 1:30 a.m. and collapsed in the street after seeking help, police said. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later. Police believe the door to his Point Breeze home was unlocked or the shooter knew how to get in, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. No arrests have been made and no weapons have been recovered, they said.

Authorities haven’t spoken publicly about the circumstances surrounding the killing.

    "Religious bigotry" LOL

    The only people who practice anything that could be called that are religious people themselves. Everyone else just wants to be left the fuck alone.

        Calling out your hateful ideology for what it is, is not bigotry. You seem to not understand that word either. Nothing I said was bigoted.

          What? I didn't call anything you said bigotry. Just adjusted the term I used based on your previous statement.

          Calling out your hateful ideology for what it is, is not bigotry.

          I am not sure what this means unless you think I am religious. I am not.
