An organized, social-media-communicated, two-pronged attack on private businesses by “flash-mobs,” as well as organized caravans of looters, hit the City of Philadelphia last week for several nights.
There are injuries, and the damage is extensive!
Video of these “mostly peaceful” rioters shows men wearing black balaclavas, with hooded faces, and carrying signs proclaiming “Party for Socialism and Liberation.”
Police made a few arrests but otherwise did little to control widespread lawlessness.
Liquor stores in Philadelphia are under mandatory closure.
It looks as if what we saw in 2020 may just have been a rehearsal for what’s coming in the approaching election season!
The radical left (Democrats), seeing their hold on power disintegrating as honorable, productive Americans grow weary of their “war on decency,” have decided that when they can’t hold onto political power, they’ll just burn down what is left.
They’ve done it before!
Political violence is thus the “new normal.” As we see, the radical left has no compunction about employing deadly violence against anyone who dares oppose them.
The rest of us are on our own, as we also see. Stay armed and very dangerous.

What’s needed is more”Roof Koreans”….
As I see it, the problem is twofold. On the one hand, in our inner cities we have a large group of unemployable thugs who have discovered that they can just steal what they want. On the other hand, we have an unending supply of new, unemployable thugs coming across our southern borders. The result is a problem without a reasonable solution. We don’t have enough law enforcement to corral these miscreants (and the courts set them free even if they do manage to catch a few) so the fear of punishment is nil. We are unlikely to change the… Read more »
democrats should meet my ex wife…
if she couldn’t have it, no one could.
I’m lucky I made it out alive.
“they’ll just burn down what is left.”
ouch, been there, fought that fire.
Side bar update.
Get ready to not freak out. On Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 2:20 p.m. EDT, every
TV, radio and cellphone in the United States should blare out the
distinctive, jarring electronic warning tone of an emergency alert.
It’s a test – only a test.
I don’t like the idea but maybe something close to no stopping in shopping districts when all stores are closed and a shoot looters on site could cure the problem. We need to get a grip on these hoodlums and stop what is going on. The video showed and the police admitted that they can’t handle many disruptions in multiple locations at one time. Many of the looters loot multiple times a night and in their lifetime. If it was shoot to kill, the numbers would diminish on a daily basis thereby lessening the crime total to possibly nonexistent and… Read more »
When woke governments pervert the rule of law, the outcome is disobedience and lawlessness. Society will no longer be civil and the forced outcome is to be your own deterent.
