--snip-- surveillance video showing a man attacking the robot. He posted it to Shapchat and it was later added to Twitter by another user. The video seems to show that just before 6 a.m. Saturday morning, a man in a backward hat and a sports jersey -- which Deadspin identified as #12 on the Eagles, Randall Cunningham -- having ripped off HitchBOT's arms, stomped on it repeatedly.
There is no clear motive, though boredom, drunkenness or a strong reaction to the robot's brand of humor could have all come into play.
HitchBOT's parents said they won't grieve for their fallen son and that this is not an indictment of the City of Brotherly Love.
"I'm sure it could have happened anywhere. We don't really think it has anything to do with Philadelphia," Zeller said.

Probably the same guy that threw snowballs at Santa and busted Chief Zee’s leg. And cheered Michael Irvin's career-ending injury.

Well, this liberal robot did not factor in the justice blm crowd. Plus it was unarmed, just asking for it.

Eh, I'm not so sure about that. Having had to deal with employees from our once Philadelphia plant over the phone, my impression is that they're the most obnoxious and rude people I've ever had to deal with..........

Well, it was in the wrong neighborhood after dark...
Can’t blame anyone for that other than the robot.
I guess it’s the first robot to play the knock out game.
