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.
Some of those who work forces,
Are the same who burn crosses.
Is there any info linking police to the shooting?
Hello again old friend
Not to my knowledge but it was still an idea worth posing given the polices history against the homeless population nation wide and would be an easy answer as to why there’s not been any breaks in the case.
Although I didn’t pose what I said as fact, I can’t help what people will assume of groups they’re already familiar with.
Dude. The words you’re typing are grossly irrelevant to the story you’re commenting on.
___Care to explain further or are we just throwing pebbles
I would like you to explain how you typed those words in relation to this story.
This case involves what the police had indicated was likely a domestic dispute, in the victim's home, possibly involving drugs.
You're talking about uh, the police murdering the homeless? Seriously. How could you possibly make that connection?
I don't know what you mean by "breaks in this case" when this was posted only 24 hours after the incident. Within 36 hours, the police had identified a suspect.
With my fingers.
Gotcha. That makes sense that you let your fingers do the thinking for you. Anyone with half a brain would have a hard time putting down your words.
Nah, just you fam.
We don't know the cops did this.
No shortage of right-wing reactionaries, who aren't cops, shooting people.
that said, the Philly PD don't have the best reputation, e.g. blatantly trying to frame Mumia, etc.
Work forces??
Influential people. It's a Rage Against the Machine quote if you need the context.
Police forces. Task forces… Etc.
