The me of 20 years ago never thought I'd be longing for segregation again.

Authorities say five people were hurt and several cars were vandalized when three unruly swimmers became violent after being told to leave a Philadelphia pool. The incident happened Thursday afternoon at the McVeigh Playground Rec Center on the 400 block of East Ontario Street, according to police. Investigators say staff members repeatedly asked three female swimmers to leave for "unruly behavior" but they refused and became hostile. The swimmers continued to sit at the end of the pool threaten staff members, police said.


I assumed they weren’t swimming even though they were called swimmers. Had to read a little bit for the truth to come out.

You can’t get in the place without some sort of entry device

The Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department said Friday that the McVeigh Recreation Center pool is now closed for the season due to concerns over the safety of pool staff and visitors. City officials said that there have been many problems at this particular pool, including multiple break-ins after hours. "We've had other incidents that have happened at McVeigh. In the evenings when pool is closed - almost every night since the pool has been opened - people are breaking into the pool, jumping in the pool, vandalizing pool and pool equipment," said Kathryn Ott Lovell of Parks and Rec. "We have to make sure that the safety of our staff and the children and families is first and foremost."

The patriarchy subjecting the fine upstanding yutes to continued systemic racism. Sad.

Unruly waders would probably be a more accurate description than swimmers.
