Violence in Havertown

So last weekend ... Saturday night actually. During the infamous Havertown Pub Crawl -- there was a SHOOTING in a bar in Havertown. It was literally like one of the THREE that we don't go to. But of course the headling "Shooting in Havertown Bar" had many people worried that it was on the crawl!! So at like 8am on Sunday morning the phone was rining like mad because all of my mom's friends were calling to make sure everyone was ok!!!

So then today I heard that a woman was stabbed to death at Manoa Shopping Center. Which is 5 minutes from my house... if you get stuck at the red lights (about 3 if you hit all green lights).

I've been informed that both of these were isolated attacks... and not random acts of violence... which makes it a little bit better. But for real, I'm starting to think the Bronx isn't all that bad compared to Havertown! At least here people are prepared for the violence!

The night of the Pub Crawl - before the shooting - the cops really had nothing better to do than sit outside of the bars we were in to wait for us to come out and start trouble... then yell at us. And I promise I'm not lying about this. At every bar we left there were at least two cop cars waiting right outside. So clearly a shotting or a stabbing is a bit out of the ordinary for my little town!
