Chester folks are known for not talking to the authorities about our crimes, but we have no problem talk among ourselves.
So, since everyone responds to this blog ANONYMOUSLY, maybe this is a good forum for us to share what we know.
To get it started, here’s the rumors I heard about the party this weekend.
- When the shooter finally ran out of bullets, he was held by party goers until police came.
- A Chester High JV basketball player was shot in the foot and a Chester High football player was shot in the stomach.
- A couple varsity basketball players were at the party.
- Many parents did not allow their children to attend the party.
- A few children disobeyed their parents and attended. One was shot.
- The boys were frisked upon entering and the girls were not.

This may have been a Sun Village vs. William Penn "beef". Why so much anger young people? How do we bring these young people together?
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy because most of the blacks in sun village came from the william penn back around 1997.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get that many thugs together someone is going to get shot......Heck they could have written the story beforehand and just plugged in the number of killed and wounded.....Shame on the Temple for renting out the place to a bunch of kids....It is all about money, the heck with the safty of Chesters residents
ReplyDeletePolice said a number of weapons were found at the party........Anybody want to guess how many party guests get charged for illegal posession and get sent to prison.....My guess is nobody but the shooter
ReplyDeleteI'm out on the Main Line and was shocked to learn that I know a few kids who had friends at this party. I was absolutely mortified by this shooting. The morning after this happened and I tried to get them to talk about it. I wanted to know why is it that I'm so freaked out and why they aren't!? WHY SUCH APATHY???
ReplyDelete"It's just business as usual." I told them this is not business as usual. I, for one, should not know someone who knows someone who got shot to death last night. YOU should not know someone who got shot. Over what?
They told me there is some sort of rivalry between two neighborhoods in Chester and the shooting had something to do with this. One guy said of the shooting " This a way for someone to make a name for themselves"
The only remorse at all, if you could call it that, was over the fact that the day after the shooting was the birthday of one of the boys who was killed. One girl offered... "Well, that really sucks."
Same girl told me that she's going down to Chester next weekend, but I shouldn't worry about her because she's going to be on the "right" side of town." Uh, ok.
