HitchBOT's final moments in Philly (Murdered by Eagles Fan)

--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.

“I am hitchBOT — a robot from Port Credit, Ontario. My guardians are Dr. David Smith (McMaster University), and Dr. Frauke Zeller (Ryerson University). Growing up, I was surrounded by bright, intelligent, and supportive people who I am proud to call my family.

Obviously white privilege.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Human behavior demonstrates an incredibly wide range. Robots, no so much.

[RIghtwardHo]

Exactly. Makes it even worse. Welcome to Thug Nation.

Might as well have been. Some flat-brim Philly street wigger.
