Against a backdrop of Antifa/Black Lives Matter rioting in Philadelphia, police found what looks like a truck bomb, an abandoned truck left in the middle of the street loaded with explosives, which, if they had gone off, could have been disastrous.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — An investigation is underway in Philadelphia after police find explosives and other suspicious cargo inside a van at Logan Circle on Wednesday night.

Action News has learned that police recovered propane tanks, torches and possible dynamite sticks from the van.

The bomb squad is investigating. There is no immediate word on who owns the van or if anyone has been arrested.

The discovery comes as the city remains on heightened alert following nights of unrest stemming from the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr.

Some folks have said that the rioters in Philly were using explosives to blow open ATMs. This may have been a supply truck for that use.

“Suspected dynamite”. Wouldn’t be the first time LEO’s mistook road flares for dynamite.

Dynamite? Tough clog.


There was also a machete for the lighter jobs - most plumbers need machetes so this isn’t unusual

The author usually does not write the headline. The American Thinker editor has gotten sloppy in several titles recently.

It wasn’t a truck bomb.
The explosives were used to crack open ATMs to rob them.
But bank robbery is definitely one strategy of insurrection. The terrorists do this raise money.

I read that they think it was a plot to break into ATMs across the city and clean them out with the riots as cover. The article I read said 2 men have been arrested.

Yes ... they are. And we haven’t seen anything yet that will compare to what comes after Election Day. They are going to try to tear this country apart.

The antifa/blm/democrat party alliance is the greatest danger to this country. bearded-savage/democrat party alliance is the second most dangerous.
