A looter who livestreamed a mob-style thieving spree in Philadelphia and encouraged others to join in burst into tears during her mugshot.
Dayjia Blackwell cried after she was charged with burglary, conspiracy, criminal trespass, riot, criminal mischief, criminal use of communication facility, receipt of stolen property and disorderly conduct.
Blackwell's anguish has been plastered online, contrasting to the carefree joy she conveyed in videos posted to social media - as dozens ransacked stores in the city's downtown business district.
The 21-year-old social media personality, who goes by the name 'Meatball,' told her 181,000 Instagram followers to join her as she excitedly ran through the street and drove to several locations hit by thieves that night.
She filmed a mob as they looted Apple, Lululemon and Footlocker, before moving on to a liquor store where she herself boasted about grabbing a bottle of Hennessy.
Tell the police if they lock me up tonight it's going to be lit, it's going to be a movie! Everybody's gotta eat!' she said to the camera.
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Blackwell when she was finally nabbed by cops while in her friend's car just after midnight.
Still filming herself and the night's events on an Instagram live stream, she tried to talk her way out of it.
'We didn't have anything to do with this!' she protested, clearly forgetting about the hours of footage she'd so keenly put together and brazenly shared.
Blackwell joined dozens who face criminal charges after the social media-fueled mayhem, in which groups apparently working together, smashed their way into stores and stuffed bags with merchandise before fleeing, authorities said.

Remember the promise of the “Information Highway” to bring us all the world’s music and books, to elevate mankind?
Remember who the dumbass was who created the internet?
That clip of the cop throwing that guy on the ground and punching him was quite satisfying. Why aren’t they just letting them burn & loot?
MY EYES!!!
Be sure to scroll down and see ALL the mug shots.
Philly ain’t California. North eastern law enforcement are tougher than west coast in general.
That ol’ phenomenon of echolalia yet again. 🙄
It’s all fun and games until jail time.
Looting of any kind should be punishable by 2yrs in jail and $10,000 dollar fine. If something like that is adhered to this comes to an end.
At least Philly police arrested some of them. In SoCal they don’t even try to stop them. That’s why there’s a rash of Jewelry store smash and grab gangs here lately.
Actions have consequences after all?
"Tell the police if they lock me up tonight it's going to be lit, it's going to be a movie! Everybody's gotta eat!" she said to the camera.
Well, I suppose that you could call mixing and drinking a French 75 or a Sidecar "eating."
Cheers! Umm, I mean:

Where’s pics of the soccer moms there who actually pay for their lulumon?
It is a great but pricey product
Only yoga britches the rib will wear
It make you look skinny no doubt
In southern California, that's more-properly referred to as a "wave."

We should have picked our own G’D cotton.
Women. She put all this online herself, and lies she had nothing to do with it. I swear the brain is not connected to the mouth and/or a functioning conscience.
And may there be lots of it!
I wonder if the token White BLMer realizes what an idiot she is.
