Philadelphia police arrested a 25-year-old Maplewood, N.J. man Wednesday after he was spotted throwing eggs at the Center City statue of former Mayor Frank Rizzo.
The man, whose name was not immediately released, fled from the scene after egging the statue outside the Municipal Services Building across from City Hall. He was caught and charged with disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, police said. The vandalism was captured by 6ABC cameras on the scene.
Authorities did not cite a motive. But particularly in the wake of the deadly Charlottesville protest, the statue has drawn new scrutiny of the former mayor and defenses of his record.
Egg was still on the statue at 11 a.m., as a few officers on bicycles mulled near it. …

That was MOVE, and it was Democrat loser Wilson Goode who gave the command to drop an explosive satchel on the roof by helicopter. It was 1985. Remember that day very well.
Thanks .. at least I got the ‘meat’ of the story right.
Better report than you would get from most newsrags these days. <: <: <:.
He was a Dem, true, but his ideology was Republican. In Phila, they only elect Dems.
Rizzo was a GOOD guy, a really good guy, who did so much to clean up the city. That is why the Left vilified him so much. He was similar to Sheriff Clarke.
RIP, Rizzo.
Very true, but I’m just saying, you don’t egg a Dem statue.
There be consequences.
“...More statuesque...”
ROFL...That’s good!!!!!
Yep, it would be a hate crime felony, requiring capital punishment.
We need to erect more Reagan and Trump statues.
Frank Rizzo did what government is supposed to do: save lives and protect property.
He probably meant it and apparently it was taken seriously. That the way it should be - today, it’s look the other way as looters burn down the cities....
He switched parties in the ‘80s.
This will boil your blood.
The house in which my father was born in 1924 went up in that blaze. It was a good neighborhood then, before it was "culturally enriched."
“...fled from the scene after egging the statue...”
SOOO brave, these Leftard pieces of crap, aren’t they...
Throwing eggs at a statue that can’t throw something back.
The ultimate punishment must be doled out for this defilement. No mercy.
Hey pigeons do something similar
The cops back in my day would have taken GOOD care of this POS.
Frank Rizzo from the Jerky Boys?
Pigeons aren’t doing it out of disrespect or to make a political statement.
I have more respect for the pigeons than I do for any leftardniki.
Amen!
