Boy, the media doesn’t help by not identifying the perp’s ethnicity.

“He was a man.”, said a witness identified as Miss Swan. LOL

That narrows it down... /sarc

How do they know it's a man?

$500K of jewelry, in a backpack. Genius. Hundred bucks says no insurance.

Keeping $500,000 in jewelry in your backpack, unattended, and some stranger knows about it?

Surely this isn't attempted insurance fraud.

[ How do they know it’s a man? ]

Well, it’s obviously one of the two guys that attacked Jussie Smollett...

Duh...

No doubt a honky who hates tuna fish Subway sandwiches.

Philadelphia television news has not mentioned ethnicity of perps for at least the last thirty years.

Who knows for sure? How is it, that the dude just happened to know there was a ton of rocks in the backpack? Was he wearing a MAGA hat? But then again, don’t all of us carry a half million in jewelry around with us, almost every day, and leave it unattended? /S

I think a lot more information needs to come out.

Iverson isn’t a kid any more. He should be smart enough to know that if he’s carrying that kind of bling in Philly, he should wear it on his teeth.

They did describe him, by not describing him.

Also, they’re describing a young AI...

It’s almost like someone saw him do it and they did what? Almost accurately describe him?

The funny thing is if someone pointed out the error, there would be myriad of leftists explaining how it’s technically correct.
