Title: Philadelphia looting
Post by: WLJ on September 28, 2023, 09:37:31 AM
Philadelphia underwent it's 2nd night of mass looting mostly targeting liquor, Apple, and of course shoe stores.
Haven't seen any comment from AOC yet who has stated people loot because they're hungry. Didn't know bread could be found in those locations.
Anyhow it started after a judge dismissed charges against a officer in a police shooting which appears to stink to high heaven but that doesn't excuse the looting.
Meanwhile American MSM seems to be looking the other way on everything but the police shooting.

Over 50 arrested after mobs ransacked Philadelphia stores. Dozens of liquor outlets are shut down

They seem to be having a grand old time. Which aisle is the bread in?

The police shooting.
As usual conflicting stories. According to this the suspect was shot while in his car while the officer said he had lunged at him with a knife before body cam footage was released. Article says the officer refused to cooperate with investigators and was fired. A judge later dismissed the charges and this supposedly triggered the looting.

Liquor has calories. Legit looting target.

Apple is fruit. Fruit is good for you. Legit looting target. If the electronics store, need to look up where the food stores are, so still legitimate target.

You need shoes to get into food stores. Signs out front say so, so shoes are a legitimate looting target.

Often enough that they're closing the affected locations.

There's probably some common factor in play, but I can't quite put my finger on it . . . maybe a mayor with a "D" after his name?

Just saw a news article that an influencer who goes by the name Meatball, and who was streaming the looting and egging the looters on, has been charged with 6 felonies.

Live streamed herself stealing liquor bottles.
And the poor baby was crying in her mugshot.

Don't forget that, in Pennsylvania, you can only buy booze during certain hours AND only at the "state controlled facility".  (Doesn't that start to sound like the way the Commie stores "worked"??)  :facepalm:

Looting is just organized, group shoplifting.

Looters and shoplifters should be publicly caned right in front of the stores they victimized.

We get this behavior because society tolerates it.

She's now selling mugshot merch
And note the last paragraph

Quote
    A mugshot turned into a marketing opportunity for viral social media influencer Meatball, who was just arrested last week on charges related to vandalism and looting.

    The proceeds from the merch seem to not only be aimed at bolstering the Philadelphia-based influencer's business but also targeted at releasing her and potentially acquitting her of the charges she accrued.

    Meatball was among the 52 looters and rioters arrested in Philadelphia after a peaceful protest against a judge's decision to dismiss murder charges against a police officer who shot and killed Eddie Irizarry through a car window. Around 100 rioters donned masks and wreaked havoc on shops, inciting mass panic and terror in the city centre. The police later said the two events — the protest and the riot — seemed to be totally unrelated.

The dems/libs keep equaling looting with protesting when they're not the same thing.

It's hard to tell from what I saw on TV - did this "Meatball" person engage in some actual looting herself, or was she arrested for filming & posting it?

I would be willing to bet what you saw on TV had parts edited out.
In her live stream she was encouraging people to loot and she partook of some looting herself.
