PHILADELPHIA - In the middle of the unrest in Philadelphia, city police are investigating after a van full of explosives and suspicious equipment was found.

The van was found on Logan Circle.

WPVI reports police recovered propane tanks, torches, and possible dynamite sticks from it. The bomb squad is now investigating.

Police haven't said who owns the van, or if any arrests have been made.

Not only that, the city counsel is now trying to prohibit the police from using tear gas.

First they condemn the police for not having non-lethal means to stop an aggressive knife attack. Now they are doing away with some of those non-lethal means.

Why don’t they just cover the police in blood, tie steaks around their necks, handcuff them, and throw them in with the lions?

Let’s see. Philadelphia. Marxist run city. Marxist riots and looting and burnings going on. Police told to shut up and stay away. Let the looters keep on looting and burning. Bomb stuff found. Nope, nothing here. If the Marxist want to blow up their own city, hey, bomb away pal.

Saw a reporter on fox right in the middle of Phila— police all prepared with riot gear at a main intersection. Early evening last night-— all standing around but with ballistic armor— blue shirts, helmets off, plastic shields stacked.

Her report said they were not arresting looters, just dispersing crowds. So, yeah the bombs source? BATF prob on the scene or fibbies. And... who of farrakhan’s crew or MOVE (the ones who got bombed themselves by Mayor Rizzo back when).

What is most notable about your comments: A keyboard warrior readily pontificating negativism and dark platitudes. No solutions. Nothing of value added to a discussion. How sad.

San Francisco rents down 33% and continuing to fall. Many vacancies, people getting the hell out of there. An unlivable city, used to be beautiful back in the day.

Here in Chicago they were cutting the ATMs open to get the cash box out, like with a cutting torch. Did it up and down the streets around downtown, every business with an ATM got hit.

I’m just questioning a very sketchy news report.

I wonder....

If polling places in Democrat strongholds like Philly are attacked on Election Day by Antifa....will Biden admit they exist? Will he call them out for election interference?

What if that’s part of his plan?

A reporter with close contact Steve Miley, said that since 10 last night 11 ATM have been hit. Also over 10 vans have been stolen,along with propane tanks. My personal guess is that they are gang related.

That explosives delivery van may have had a clue painted on the sides:

The FBI already knows exactly who is behind the BLM-Antifa reign of terror. Even anarchists have to buy weapons, rent vehicles, pay for hotels. The paper trail is all to easy to follow but the FBI is once again providing cover for the enemies of America. It is a treasonous organization that needs to be dismantled starting November 4th.

Great post.

How could they trace clothing fibers and paint chips back to identify and charge organized crime killers but not have any idea about how to find out who buys large amounts of terrorist BLM supplies and sets up living space. Nonsense.

Agent: We couldn't find even one of the BLM and Antifa guys but a lot of rental trucks and hotel rooms had relatives of this John Smith guy. He probably is guilty, we think.

Now that makes sense. Stories of just blowing them up lacked that detail.

In MI and elsewhere there have been a lot of stories from about 2015 or so, of urban thugs crashing the plate glass windows of a store at night to attach chains to the atm and take it home with them.

I guess the opposite of a Night Depository for banking.

Must have been odd for a car dealer to have a 19 year old customer in a hoodie and athletic shoes pay for a car with all $20's.

Pre-placement for election night would be my guess.
