On Sept. 26, 2023, two days of rioting and looting broke out following a Black Lives Matter-inspired protest in downtown Philadelphia. The looters targeted a liquor store, Lululemon, Apple, Foot Locker, Target and many other businesses.
The looting was organized on social media and was in reaction to a judge dismissing charges against a former Philadelphia Police officer who shot a knife-wielding Latino suspect named Eddie Irizarry. George Soros-linked district attorney Larry Krasner refiled charges against Mark Dial the same day.
Perhaps the most infamous riot arrestee was Dayjia Blackwell, a social media influencer known as "Meatball." Blackwell livestreamed herself inciting looting. She was charged with burglary, conspiracy, riot, receipt of stolen property and many other crimes. Her lawyer released a statement saying the press coverage of the riot was an "all-out assault on black and brown people."
I did a public records request to obtain all of the booking photos and names of those arrested at the riots.
Always a safe bet.
