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.

Amen.
Americans have a culture problem, and it’s only getting worse with each generation since the 60s.
what did I choose specifically? did I kill this man? am I advocating for his death?
what is it you’d like one citizen to do. you want me to vote? I do that. every election. I canvas, I march, I try and protest things I want changed. I am doing all that I can. everyone I know does all they can.
what else do you want from me? you’re talking like america is one giant collection of thugs. but that doesn’t help this man. doesn’t help his family. doesn’t help anything.
