PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia residents were asking questions after a group of people armed with bats and other objects took to the streets Monday night in Fishtown.

And Mayor Jim Kenney provided his answer during a noon news conference Tuesday: "Going forward, any displays of vigilantism will not be tolerated, period," Kenney said.

Son used to live there after first married. It’s actually multicultural area with many young professionals from the full spectrum of the city. His neighbors were Vietnamese, Korean and African American.

Vietnamese, Korean, and African American neighbor hood. Rioters and those attempting to loot would be shot, and there would be no witnesses.

My suggestion is that the Kersey Brigade members camouflage themselves as Antifa or BLM and go medieval on the looters asses!

If this continues much longer I might just get my wish of Kersey Brigades across the nation dealing with the fascist A-holes.

Take heart, you will find a way out and enjoy your life as you should.
The down side of that is that thinking...now, that I’ve gone, who will stay to fight the good fight. That will be for those remaining to figure out.

People in Fishtown and a few other pockets of sanity in the Philly area were the BEST and the Strongest representations of America. To have those words uttered about them hurts even those of us who are no longer there.

You will survive and flourish, I am sure, but what of the once proud and exciting city of Philadelphia. It brings tears to the eyes.
Warm regards, Maris

Never forget! The only thing -- the only thing -- the riots are about -- along with the governors' lockdowns and the endless "investigations" -- is to do whatever the Democrat/Left Party can to prevent Trump's re-election.

The Democrat/Left is all-in on this and it's too late for them to turn back lest they lose the House, the GOP retains the Senate and the Presidency, and the USSC turn more conservative with the appointment of two or three new justices over the next four years.

All-In!

We have done a lot of crying recently.There aren’t words to describe the feeling of seeing a business district boarded up. The inability to earn a living, to socialize, to shop, to see a doctor is incredibly damaging mentally. I. Am. Done.

You have to understand that the Democrats operate on the premises of never giving a sucker an even break. The suckers swallowed the last bait hook. line. and sinker. In fact, they even swallowed the fishing pole/rod. The sheep need to wise up to the fact that the Democrats are out to screw then constantly. And stop throwing themselves on the mercy of the Democrats. They have none.

LOL Rioters can have bricks, frozen water bottles, clubs and torches....not law abiding citizens for protection.

This is laughable. A few dozen local toughs stood on the streets and let their voices be heard--making it very clear that they weren't going to let their neighborhood get trashed like nearby Port Richmond did the previous night.

The lily-white pearl-clutchers felt that this was oh, so gauche.

I will say this for the DEms and Progs, they are relentless in their single-mindedness to ruin our lives.

If he could he would. They were protesting for a third night yesterday, demanding the resignation of our police captain. I am half expecting him to be replaced with a portly black lesbian. This story seems to have some notoriety so I hope that other communities protecting themselves take caution. Thank god for the torrential rains last night. I got a good laugh watching the protesters run in the pouring rain still clutching their signs.

Without a doubt. And us law abiding taxpayers had better say thank you for the privelege of funding them.

precisely. Isn’t it incredible that we have a 6PM curfew with the threat of arrest, yet they can run wild and are championed and applauded.

It isn’t so much Kenney as it is our DA Krasner. He and his wife are avowed communists. He is really the one who single handidly is ruining the cities.

100% spot on. I have been wondering if they will find a way to keep us locked down til November. I am in the restaurant industry and it’s destroyed. One wonders why a governor and mayor would do this to the economy but it is evident that they are miopic in their aim to destroy the president. I think this will backfire on them in the end.

I believe that people are getting wise to their scam. They feel that they need to remain silent though for fear of retribution.

Exactly. They, and I refer to the the pearl clutching journalists who live in gated suburban communities and local politicians would have preferred to have seen Girard Avenue destroyed. As it is there have been 150 ATM machines blown up with home made bombs. But the real crime was us defending our neighborhood without violence.
