Philadelphia reels from second night of unrest, nearly a dozen shot as victim's family pleads for peace
Faux News ^ | October 28, 2020 | Stephanie Pagones

Nearly a dozen people – including a 15-year-old – were shot overnight after looting and rioting in Philadelphia erupted for a second straight night despite pleas for peace from the family of a Black man whose police-related death sparked the unrest.

About 1,000 people took the streets of the city of Brotherly Love late Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning purportedly to demand justice for the death of Walter Wallace Jr., who was fatally shot by police on Monday.

Instead, the protests quickly devolved into violent riots and looting of stores across the city. Crowds of dozens were seen ransacking local and big-name stores, including a Walmart and a Foot Locker.

Urban America is becoming unlivable. Both commercial and residential real estate is declining in value due to much less demand. No rational person wants to invest or locate a business in these urban, Democrat controlled areas.It will get much worse.

Partner, the rioting and looting can not get any worse than it did in Philadelphia of all places.

BLM and Antifa went nuts and looted all the stores.

The only thing that these guys did not do is start burning Philadelphia.

Philadelphia is the place that welcomed black slaves from the South and helped the slaves to get their independence.

Philadelphia Reels from Second Night of Unrest, Nearly a
Dozen Shot as Victim's Family Pleads for Peace

And that my friends is what most of these riots have all been
about. People who resisted arrest, threatened officers with
bodily harm or worse, were killed in self-preservation.

Then they were called a victim.

This guy was about as big a victim as Sirhan Sirhan.

This man was a predator!

Do any of these people know English? Do they own a
dictionary?

If you receive treatment in measure with your crime or
intended crime, you are not a victim.

Victims are innocent.

This guy? No.

Our great forefathers, who put their lives and livelihood on the line in 1776 in that fair city, would be horrified to see what it has become.

Oh, stop it. They are simply using that as an excuse to loot some stores. Not one of those BLM @sses cares one whit about Wallace.

And our rural farm town property values are skyrocketing. Our property tax bills just arrived and have also shot up.

No rentals available and houses for sale are snapped up and they are old, small fixer uppers.

The Karens are fleeing to red counties and will no doubt continue to vote blue and behave stupidly.

If I see one more FB post from new to the area morons complaining about farm equipment slowing their commute, I may lose it.

At some point, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta, and some others may be all black with other races having moved as far out of town as possible.

Waiting for the high school graduation picture, or if none exists, the kindergarten picture would be even better.

I’m starting to think that BLM sends a mentally challenged individual with a criminal record at the cops when they feel like getting free stuff.

It is long past time that these big corporations figured out that the protection money that they pay BLM and other Leftist race baiting organizations is buying them nothing. The social justice posturing does nothing to protect them.

They need to start demanding more from the governments that they pay millions in taxes to; they need to demand protection for their property.

If they can’t expect protection from these governments, they need to close their stores and let it be known why.

These looted and gutted stores should be boarded up and the mayor of the city should be told that they will remain so until the corporations are assured that police forces will be fully funded and the stores will receive protection from rioters in the future. These assurances should be made publicly.
