It just amazes me how people just open the door when someone knocks. They can shoot you and force their way in and f’up your whole family. Yell what do you want through the door. Look through the window. Be careful.

I'm a lifelong 3rd generation Philadelphian. All of this stuff is true. McCullough was killed in my old neighborhood. Thankfully Philly is cleaned up somewhat from the 80s.
