Musk says ‘America is going full Joker’ after watching people loot stores in Philadelphia
FOX 29 Philadelphia ^ | September 27, 2023 5:31PM | Greg Wehner

FOX NEWS - Billionaire Elon Musk, who also owns X, formerly known as Twitter, described videos and images of people, mostly teenagers, looting stores in Philadelphia as "going full Joker."

The criminal activity came after, but separate from a peaceful protest that started after a judge dismissed murder and other charges against a white Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a Black resident, Eddie Irizarry.

Those doing the ransacking were not affiliated with the protest, Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Stanford clarified.

"These were not protesters, these were criminals," Stanford said. "This is disgusting. It has no place in this city."

Video on social media Tuesday night showed masked people in hoodies running down the street and into several stores where they would fill their arms with merchandise and flee, an action lately described as flash mob-style ransacking. By Wednesday afternoon, police said they made at least 52 arrests, according to the Associated Press.

Several of the videos were posted to X and caught the attention of the social media platform’s top executive.

Musk responded to one video posted to X showing the "City of Brotherly Love" under complete chaos, with police trying to stop looters as they exited a store and a woman laughing uncontrollably.

"America is going full Joker," Musk said, referring to Batman’s most infamous villain, the Joker, portrayed in the 2019 Todd Phillips film, "Joker," starring Joaquin Phoenix.

I haven't seen every "Batman" movie, as I don't like "Super Hero" movies, but I have seen some.

Usually, it seems, the villains ran for mayor, and tried to destroy the city. Darke days ahead, folks. If a SOROS VILLAIN took ever the operation, I don't think you'd be seeing a lot of the Bat Signal.

Joker is not a Batman movie. I loved it but it isn’t for everyone.

LOL. Good one, Elon! (I can vividly picture The Joker from Batman.)

All we need is just one public or elected official to state the blunt, obvious truth - that we have a black, entitled underclass coddled by corrupt black elites that are wreaking havoc in cities. And they've been doing this crap for decades.

The experiment hasn't worked folks. Blacks aren't capable of residing in a civilized, orderly society and following social norms. Let's cut those blacks who hate America and those who are criminal thugs a nice, $1 million dollar check and terminate their citizenship.

Then have them move to any Sub-Saharan African nation of their choice, and that would solve a lot of America's problems.

We cannot continue like this anymore.

You keep telling yourself that, Chief. It was a mostly peaceful protest. It is always is.

Well, it’s true. And until some of these thieves are shot, it will continue and it will worsen.

I agree, except for the million dollars. Why should they get a million dollars for behaving so badly, while most law-abiding, taxpaying Americans don’t have nearly that much and are struggling?

We can make that million back in a heartbeat. We’d literally save billions down the road on housing, education, SNAP, disability, and correctional facilities and probation/parole. Plus they can use that money to spend on American companies who can build homes & services for them, so the money comes back to Uncle Sam anyway. The U.S. would probably build basic infrastructure and needs for them initially as part of a deal with an African nation anyway.

Seems to have worked out very well in Jamaica...but they seem to be an entirely different breed.

The Joker was fairly level headed compared to some of these savages.

Yup, perilous times like these call for perilous measures like those.

Clever. But we are way past the point where clever remarks are useful. Plain and bold talk is needed. Plain and bold action is needed.

This is something the elites just don’t get. But maybe they will get it once illegals start to pour over the walls of their private estates.

It’s all part of the plan. The Marxist plan, that is.
