Philadelphia police arrested a 25-year-old Maplewood, N.J. man Wednesday after he was spotted throwing eggs at the Center City statue of former Mayor Frank Rizzo.

The man, whose name was not immediately released, fled from the scene after egging the statue outside the Municipal Services Building across from City Hall. He was caught and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, police said. The vandalism was captured by 6ABC cameras on the scene.

Authorities did not cite a motive. But particularly in the wake of the deadly Charlottesville protest, the statue has drawn new scrutiny of the former mayor and defenses of his record.

Egg was still on the statue at 11 a.m., as a few officers on bicycles mulled near it. …

That was MOVE, and it was Democrat loser Wilson Goode who gave the command to drop an explosive satchel on the roof by helicopter. It was 1985. Remember that day very well.

He was a Dem, true, but his ideology was Republican. In Phila, they only elect Dems.

Rizzo was a GOOD guy, a really good guy, who did so much to clean up the city. That is why the Left vilified him so much. He was similar to Sheriff Clarke.

RIP, Rizzo.

Very true, but I’m just saying, you don’t egg a Dem statue.

There be consequences.

Yep, it would be a hate crime felony, requiring capital punishment.

Frank Rizzo did what government is supposed to do: save lives and protect property.

He probably meant it and apparently it was taken seriously. That the way it should be - today, it’s look the other way as looters burn down the cities....

Anyway, they had gasoline or gun powder or ammo that was in the house, it caught fire and caused IMMEDIATE urban renewal for about 10 square blocks.

The house in which my father was born in 1924 went up in that blaze. It was a good neighborhood then, before it was "culturally enriched."

You’re being Statuephobic. You need to be more statue-tolerant. More statuesque.

The ultimate punishment must be doled out for this defilement. No mercy.

Pigeons aren’t doing it out of disrespect or to make a political statement.

I have more respect for the pigeons than I do for any leftardniki.
