Investigators are reviewing surveillance video along North Broad Street after a group of about 300 teenagers crowded the area Sunday night.
It’s not clear why the large group descended onto Broad Street at around 7:30 p.m.
Police are looking to identify a small fraction of the kids; those who were fighting and damaging property inside a Wendy’s fast-food restaurant near the Liacouras Center and one other business, flipping over tables and chairs. […]
Police are reviewing social media to determine if this was a planned meet-up.
Police Commissioner Richard Ross says often times investigators can stop social media meet-ups before they happen. …

Philadelphia needs another ‘cleansing’.
This time start at City Hall and work its way out.
Remember the GoodE Old Days when one of those rowhouses went up like a tinderbox and made Mrs O’Learys cow (Chicago) look like a minor event.
As it was, the most fortunate part of the fiasco was RIZZO had just been defeated by GoodE..had he still been mayor, am sure the rest of Philly would have made the Watts riots look like a day in the park.
The City of Brotherly Shove.
I lived in Philly, in the area just north of the Art Museum (Fairmount/Girard Ave) back in the 1970's. And even then North Broad St was not the right place to be if you weren't from that neighborhood.
Heck, even Girard Ave was the wrong place to be much of the time...
Nothing surprises me about Philly.
When you read, “police are looking to identify...,” you know absolutely nothing will happen.
Chimp-out.
Tsk, tsk.
Where’s Pat Boone when you need him to tell these “teens” how to behave?
IT IS AUGUST !! Blacks always riot in August!! I actually mark it on my calendar. They are always wrong. The press always glorifies them. Put it on your calendar!!
The news report blurred images of the “teens.” Nothing helps the public identify the vandals quicker than blurring the identifying footage. Not only did the “teens” vandalize and terrorize the Wendy’s, they attacked the police and smashed up a cop car.

The MOVE incident, including the fire, happened in May of 1985. At that time, Wilson Goode was mayor, but his predecessor was Bill Green, whom Goode defeated in 1983.
Frank Rizzo's last day as Mayor was January 7th, 1980.
Yup.
It used to be the city of brotherly love.
Now it’s the city of brothas on drugs. Or brothas and thugs.
LOL. Thanks for saving me the trouble. 👍
Mea Culpa (with deep bows)
Ok...I was ‘mixing’ things up.
Rizzo Refuses to Concede to Mayor Goode
November 05, 1987|From the Associated Press
Democrats on Wednesday celebrated their victories in off-year governors’ elections in Kentucky and Mississippi and started planning their new administrations, while GOP challenger Frank L. Rizzo defiantly refused to concede defeat to incumbent W. Wilson Goode in Philadelphia’s bitter mayoral race.
(Guess the Philadelphians figured Rizzo would ‘finish the job’ that GoodE started<: <: <:)
First thing to go is the ‘memory’....
Did Rizzo go from Police Supt to Mayor?... I ‘forgot’ the ‘gap’ from 80-83 and hadn’t Rizzo vowed to ‘clean up’ the MOVE movement earlier?
Don’t live there but NO excuse for ‘mistake’ on my part.
I keep looking at that picture and wondering what the hell happened to us?
A “street sweeper” 12 ga police model works just fine, too. I have one of the Remy 870 groups (Police Tactical Versa Max Model) 1100, I think.

Did Elton John sing Sunday Night Is Alright For Fighting?
No it was Saturday.
Weren’t these “teens” exhausted from the early Sunday church services, the afternoon church picnic and the Meals on Wheels charity deliveries? Time to read a little Holy Scriptures and turn in early Sunday night.
Oops, wrong “teens”. Sorry.
The left is what happened to us.
Culture and Political War still in progress since the days of socialist Woodrow Wilson.
Soon to be a shooting war, because the left has played out their last hands and are out of chips.
