Philadelphia journalist who advocated for homeless and LGBTQ+ communities shot and killed at home - eviltoast

A journalist and advocate who rose from homelessness and addiction to serve as a spokesperson for Philadelphia’s most vulnerable was shot and killed at his home early Monday, police said.

Josh Kruger, 39, was shot seven times at about 1:30 a.m. and collapsed in the street after seeking help, police said. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later. Police believe the door to his Point Breeze home was unlocked or the shooter knew how to get in, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. No arrests have been made and no weapons have been recovered, they said.

Authorities haven’t spoken publicly about the circumstances surrounding the killing.

    You make a long of strong claims that require a lot of strong evidence and sources

    i know there are incidents, but the US has 300.000.000 people living there, it’s a guarantee that you’re going to have assholes.

    You claim it’s structural, that there are groups conspiring together to get this done. That is a big, big claim that better not come from a Facebook page.

    Mind linking that FBI report?

      I mean the report itself is not available to the public. There was a bulletin sent to police departments that was heavily redacted when released. This was like 15 years ago. Lots of other information has been released over time. The bulletin itself I couldn’t find with a quick Google search, but there is a lot of information about it that you can use Google to find. That’s not my job to prove. It’s not a small amount of info. So Google it. Here’s a link to get you started.
