Philadelphia looting: Break-ins, 50 arrested as havoc continues for 2nd night leaving residents desperate
Fox News ^ | 09/28/2023 | Lawrence Richard

Philadelphia suffered its second night in a row of mass looting incidents and destructive social media-fueled mayhem on Wednesday, resulting in more than 50 arrests, police said.

On Wednesday, groups of thieves, apparently working together, destroyed property in several areas of the city, smashed their way into stores, and stole as much as they could before fleeing, authorities said. Suspects also ransacked more than a dozen state-run liquor stores so thoroughly that the state announced it was closing its Philly locations until further notice.

Video on social media also suggested that culprits made off with a Wells Fargo ATM, but a spokesperson for Wells Fargo told Fox News Digital that the ATM was not stolen and that the bank does not currently have an ATM in that location as it is being replaced

Put me in charge and this will all stop within six months, promise, or I will step down. If you’re tired of it, put me or someone like me in charge. Grew up in Asia...I promise I can stop it.

The Founders should have abolished all slavery at the outset and executed slave smugglers.

As a juror, I will not convict anyone of any crime related to his actions in taking out the trash.

This isn’t taking place in the “the hood.” They don’t have any stores left there.

This is happening in Rittenhouse Square. A fashionable area near downtown, that has nice old apartment buildings and condos - and lots of woke, professional, urban yuppies with BLM and pride flags.

Public caning is a very effective and productive method of punishment for crimes. Not many repeat offenders. I find it neither cruel, or unusual.

Enjoy watching Fetterman’s Law, the new update to Burkes law.
Instead of a dapper millionaire in a Rolls Royce solving crimes in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and LA, We get a Senator in a hoody ignoring the crimes in Philadelphia ( Where’s Mayor Rizzo when they need him.) Popcorn for Pennsylvania as the Biden show rolls on. ( and wheres the National Guard governor?)

Exactly-—Let it all burn down. Even if it does burn down, they’ll still vote in the same crap and continue to blame “Trump”. The cities are gone-—more and more stores are closing up and leaving. We are on the brink of being a third world country...our politics [already] are....

Elections have consequences.

Think this would have happened on Frank Rizzo’s watch?

Maybe that’s because it was stolen.

Downtown Philadelphia is thick with federal, state, county, and city, employees. They need their Starbucks and Orvis stores between 9AM and 5PM.

Once the sun goes down, it's BLM Riot squads time to collect their tax on whitey.

“leaving residents desperate”

Why are they desperate? This is what they voted for, they should be happy.

‘groups of thieves’ = ‘youths’ = you know who...
