Holly Matkin 20 hours ago Philadelphia, PA – Fourteen people were shot and three were killed after multiple gunmen opened fire during a chaotic gathering on Philadelphia’s South Street on Saturday night.

Witness Geoff Ford said he and other patrons at a nearby restaurant locked themselves inside the building as the rowdy crowd jumped on cars and fought with one another shortly before the shooting.

“I mean, you can’t control 400 kids,” one witness was heard saying in a video clip. “They’re fighting again. Where are all the f—king cops?”

Lol, very good point. I guess three of the participants in the chaotic gathering were disappointed by the less festive turn of the night’s events

Since we all know the complexion of the mob, there is no problem.
Once the riot is over, the merchants & property owners need to repair any damage & clean up the mess.
Those that don’t should be fined and or jailed.

Definitely a thoughtful consideration. ☺️☕️☕️

Is “rowdy” a notch up from “mostly peaceful”? Just trying to nail down the patois.

[BudgieRamone]

Ive just gone to saying and saying “Pock”—People of Color and “Ligbitick” or “Ligbit” for LGBTQ. That way it doesnt raise flags

[Scrambler Bob]

So, is this one mass shooting, or 4 (13 divided by 4), or more, calculated by each unique set of 4 from the 13.

Rowdy?! Isn't that downplaying the seriousness of this, just a little? Isn't that like referring to "overenthusiastic" lynch mobs or "handsy" rapists?

Mob seems to be a little judgemental too.

She probably should have gone with gathering.

Well, you know, like DEFUND THE POLICE and 💩

Tens upon tens of millions of woefully ignorant Americans truly believe “white supremacy” is the Republic’s major “racist problem”; ignoring the very obvious, much more significant matter of the horrors of out-of-control metro area tribalism.

The irony……

“Where are all the f—king cops?”

Probably attending their white privilege training seminar.

Narrative is all that matters.. reality is irrelevant.

[econjack]

Agreed. We’ve thrown $4 trillion at the problem since the War on Poverty in the late 60’s and things are worse now. It is a black problem and it can only be solved by blacks. They need to restore the family unit and take their neighborhoods back. Black leadership (Sharpton, Jackson, et al) is little more than a bunch of political hacks looking for a photo op. They need a grassroots movement.

Just those mischievous ‘teens’ and their hijinks. They jus’ wilin’

There are certain things we aren’t allowed to say out loud.

What ... things like "urban black culture is depraved, corrupt, and violent"?

Or crows, as in a 'murder of crows'.
