Murder Suspect Walks Out Of Philly Prison
By Wyatt Earp | November 28, 2009
God, I love this freakin’ town!
So, can someone ‘splain this to me, because I recently suffered brain damage. How can an accused murderer – “accused,” yeah right – walk past a bunch of prison guards, get through a few locked doors, and step out to freedom without so much as a, “Hey, whatcha doooo-in?”
Freakin’ boggles the mind.
An accused murderer pulled off a daring escape from a city jail Thursday afternoon, police said today, slipping away from a visitors’ lobby after getting past a dozen jail employees, two locked doors, and changing into civilian clothes in the meantime.
Oscar Alvarado, 27, who had been held at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility on State Road since October 2008, vanished sometime between 3 and 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving, officials said. Authorities noticed he was gone around 6, and after searching the prison grounds, began scouring the city.
Philadelphia Lt. Frank Vanore said anyone who spots Alvarado, who was jailed on charges of gunning down a woman in Kensington last year, should stay away and call 911 immediately.
“He’s definitely a dangerous individual,” Vanore said. (H/T – Philly.com)
Gee, Lieutenant, ya think?!! This city is doomed. Doomed, I tells ya!

[...] a two years murder at a rate considerably less than your average Philadelphian. Maybe that’s because the city just lets murder suspects walk out of jail. Maybe one day Philadelphia newspapers like the Daily News and Inquirer will actually start holding [...]

Is this the part where we blame Bush?

Raptor – We should saw it off at the borders and send Philly and Jersey into the sea.
Rick – Incompetent.
Proof – Yeah, but Clark could always fall back on intelligence . . .
BobG – In 3 . . . 2 . . .

Philly should pass a law that makes breaking out of prison illegal.
That’ll stop this from ever happening again.
I should become a consultant.

Kaveman – As the Guinness guys would say: “BRILLIANT!!”
Mrs. Crankipants – And I live near a Best Buy. Swell.
