Police: Suspects Threw Explosives at Restaurant Workers, ATM in Philadelphia
BREITBART ^ | June 14, 2020 | Amy Furr

Several suspects allegedly threw explosives at restaurant employees and tried to blow up an ATM machine Sunday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m. at the New Century restaurant in the 2500 block of Germantown Avenue, according to ABC 6.

“Police said the men first threw an explosive at an ATM located inside the establishment. They then reportedly threw a second explosive at two employees through a plexiglass opening at the counter,” the report noted.

Thankfully, neither of the restaurant employees were hurt during the event. Police said the suspects were unable to retrieve any money from the ATM machine and that authorities were still investigating.

The New Century restaurant was a “cornerstone in the Philadelphia community and has been recognized for its outstanding Chinese cuisine, excellent service and friendly staff,” according to its website.

In a similar instance June 2, vandals using explosives targeted numerous ATM machines across the city, according to CBS Philly.

Police said a 24-year-old man tried to blow up one machine outside Sidekicks Sports Bar, but when the device went off the blast threw him to the ground and caused him serious injuries.

He was later taken to a hospital where he died.

“Police say the explosive device never penetrated the ATM’s safe. Live explosives were recovered at the scene,” the report noted.

I had to look twice here to see that it was CBS Philadelphia.

Had it been CBS News the headline would have been “Peaceful protestor tragically killed while trying to access funds at an ATM”.

Germantown is an interesting area where very wealthy white Philadelphians live next to historic Chestnut Hill (another exclusive area) and the neighborhoods are fabulous but another part is pure ghetto trash slum.

Why aren’t people shooting back?

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away, BEFORE George Floyd, now, who knows, hours away? Maybe not coming at all, disbanded.
