FOX NEWS - Billionaire Elon Musk, who also owns X, formerly known as Twitter, described videos and images of people, mostly teenagers, looting stores in Philadelphia as "going full Joker."
The criminal activity came after, but separate from a peaceful protest that started after a judge dismissed murder and other charges against a white Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a Black resident, Eddie Irizarry.
Those doing the ransacking were not affiliated with the protest, Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Stanford clarified.
"These were not protesters, these were criminals," Stanford said. "This is disgusting. It has no place in this city."
Video on social media Tuesday night showed masked people in hoodies running down the street and into several stores where they would fill their arms with merchandise and flee, an action lately described as flash mob-style ransacking. By Wednesday afternoon, police said they made at least 52 arrests, according to the Associated Press.
Several of the videos were posted to X and caught the attention of the social media platform’s top executive.
Musk responded to one video posted to X showing the "City of Brotherly Love" under complete chaos, with police trying to stop looters as they exited a store and a woman laughing uncontrollably.
"America is going full Joker," Musk said, referring to Batman’s most infamous villain, the Joker, portrayed in the 2019 Todd Phillips film, "Joker," starring Joaquin Phoenix.
“Musk says ‘America is going full Joker’ after watching people loot stores in Philadelphia”
He should stick to his message and saying something like “America is going Full Soros”.
Right, 'cause that's worked so well so far. Elon is trying to speak to the demographic he knows (and is trying to convert). Geriatric white men are already onboard.
You’re probably right...fair point!
“Musk says ‘America is going full Joker’ after watching people loot stores in Philadelphia”
As a billionaire, Musk needs to go full Batman. He’s got the intelligence and the resources.
Lot’s of dancing with the Devil in the pale moon light...
blue areas have almost always been like that.
red areas lock up criminals.... so they tend to stay away
Lock and load people! The feral are coming!
Or just call the police, umm, on second thought, just follow the above advice!
“The criminal activity came after, but separate from a peaceful protest that started after a judge dismissed murder and other charges against a white Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a Black resident, Eddie Irizarry.”
But was he actually Black?
Latino/Hispanic certainly, but not very Black if at all.
ALL rioters, looters, arsonists — Shoot them!
SPJNK.
Stanford dud some world-class pearl clutching here.
THIS. I loved the movie too, and I'm not a Marvel or comic book guy. Actor who played Joker got a well deserved academy award (spit) for his skills in the dark movie.
One day, people just find nothing works and there is no reason to stay civil.
