Reply to comment by SnapCrackleMom in Man arrested in Bucks County in connection with killing of Temple University police officer by MacKelvey

Anytime i see people trashing a city during an event i assume they're going home to their quiet suburban neighborhoods after.. people usually don't destroy a street they need to walk down everyday

I lived in a "tourist" town for 15 years. It's the same thing. People do all sort of horrible shit that they'd never consider doing where they live.

Yeah. I get that drunk college students are gonna drunk college student but they absolutely wouldn't have trashed a car in Clifton Heights or Aldan where they're from.

As someone who was at the scene of that car flipping, I can confirm this and support every word you’ve said. I don’t blame Philly natives for hating suburbians at all.

I think another factor is a sense of rules not applying as much since you're in a different area than where you spend most of your time in. Thinking you're nearly unidentifiable, not caring about the locals since you know you won't be running into them again, and thinking the local police will somehow have a tougher time finding you since you're not a local. Edit: not sure which word caused this to be auto-removed.
