WHAT WE'VE FOUND: Bells, police brutality, haunted houses, etc.
Stephanie Johnson here with the return of your morning fix.
A YouTube video shows a bunch of Philly cops beating a West Philly man with their batons while he was lying on the ground. The cops then charged the dude they beat with aggravated assault. âNot every arrest ends with someone saying, âThank you,'â says PPD spokescop Lt. Frank Vanore said. Gee, Philly cops not taking police brutality allegations seriously? Can't imagine. There's an Internal Affairs investigation pending. Take a wild guess how that will turn out.
A Manayunk resident complains that the 3 1/2 ton bell atop the St. John the Baptist church sounding 18 times at 7 a.m. disturbs her quality of life. This bell has, of course, been ringing for most of the past 104 years; long before said resident moved into the area, one presumes. Councilman Jim Kenney, last seen wanting to sue the Internet, has proposed a bill to exempt churches and schools from noise pollution laws.
Randy Bates, president of the National Haunted House Association — which is, it seems, a real job — wants to turn Pennhurst, a two-decades-vacant state school for disabled youth in Spring City, into a haunted house. Not everyone is pleased with this idea: âThe idea of a fake electric shock room in a place where disabled children suffered unimaginable horrors isn't sitting well with some in the community,â says the CBS story. Bates, meanwhile, says that shit happened 30 years ago and they should get over it.
Down in Florida, the Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville has abandoned his plans to torch a bunch of Qurans (and set off an international incident), based, he says, on the deal he reached with a Orlando Muslim leader to move the so-called "ground zero mosque" in New York City someplace else. Problem is, said Orlando Muslim leader has nothing to do with the New York Muslim community center, so he's hardly in a position to move it (though he did apparently say he'd set up a meeting). Terry Jones is now calling the Orlando imam a liar. The entire world is still calling Terry Jones and asshole.
