MattPetrillo I had a Uber driver pull a gun on me at 13th and Locust. He stopped in the middle of the street and kindly waited for two White females to get in his car. Cars started to blow their horns and he pulled out his gun on me because I was directly behind him. Classic. 🤷🏾

MattPetrillo Get what you vote for - only going to get worst dummies

MattPetrillo Put a wall around it, just let me out first... escape from Philly.

MattPetrillo Y'all voted for it. Enjoy the hellscape you've created.

MattPetrillo This city is the worst. I can’t wait to leave this place. Kids are terrible, moms don’t care, dads aren’t around. No respect for anything or anyone.

MattPetrillo A true statement, which is why when the sun sets, I stay home. Reminds me of the bad version of 1985 Back To The Future.

MattPetrillo Your right he was a good Mayor

MattPetrillo Where’s rizzo when we need him?

MattPetrillo Well, with a Soros backed DA, it will continue just like in “other”cities around this country. He needs to prosecute criminals accordingly. Use our hard earned tax dollars to help keep our citizens safe. Center City may become a ghost town. We’ll see tumble weeds blowing soon.

MattPetrillo Was on the same street, block away when the shots fired. This fucking city.

MattPetrillo Right ! Smh simple stuff grownups should be able to discuss peaceful i might add!!!

MattPetrillo National Guard !!! impossible not to afraid, being cautious and observant is not good anymore.

MattPetrillo Awful 💔💔💔💔

MattPetrillo And PhillyMayor still won’t call for assistance from GovTomWolfPA . I guess we law abiding citizens have to just stay inside and hope we don’t become victims of the rampant crime plaguing Philly. He’s surrendered the city to the criminals.

MattPetrillo So Philly !

MattPetrillo It’s getting to the point if ppl can leave Phialdelphia then time to go. Kennedy doesn’t care Krasner policies don’t work and outlaw is a wanna be politician.

MattPetrillo Uber and food delivery drivers will be hard to find in Philly because of the non stop violence that goes on every day and in every community. Thank the cowardly mayor
