More looting overnight in Philadelphia; another liquor store hit

Pockets of looting continued at Philadelphia businesses early Thursday morning, including a Fine Wine & Good Spirits store in the Crescentville section.

Police arrested two people near Adams Avenue and East Tabor Road at about 2:30 a.m. after spotting them loading up a car with liquor. The state store was not boarded up.

As long as these arrogant, self entitled thugs have no real, harsh consequences….this will continue and it will get worse.

How many of those people are on welfare? Take away their benefits.

AS A BLACK MAN, NEVER have I been more embarrassed. We are doing this to OURSELVES and SO MANY OF US are STILL in DENIAL.
We try to save face and cheer eachother up by saying that this doesn't represent or shouldn't generalize our entire community...
BUT HOW CAN IT NOT??? Look at this MESS

Philadelphia is joining the ranks of Portland, San Francisco and Baltimore. Proof positive that you get what vote for.

It's always gratifying to see people getting exactly what they voted for, congrats.

Why dont the bookstores ever get looted

[carlosbright]

This is a damn shame! What on earth is going on with these feral 'savages' pillaging in every major U.S. city. They should be put to sleep permanently. 😡😡😡

I guess this is that oppression we keep hearing about.

As someone that works in law enforcement it’s frustrating to arrest people for robbery and theft alone with many other crimes just to see them released with a slap on the wrist. If I could retire I would and I don’t blame the good officers I know that have retired. The courts are broken. It’s not like it was when I grew up and you actually worried about being a disappointment to your family. These people are just hurting their own community and the citizens should be upset with the crime

Meatball recorded her own evidence. 😂 She is dangerous and should get the maximum sentencing for inciting riots.

He said, "the liquor store was not boarded up" as though they asked to be looted. As though it's not the fault of the looters since the store wasn't boarded up. Reporting stories in this manner puts the fault on the business owners and TAKES ALL THE FAULT OFF OF THE CRIMINALS!!! THIS TYPE OF REPORTING IS CRIMINAL!!!

Philly residents need to be protesting city hall to remove that bail commisioner. There should be no bail if you get caught looting. Plain and simple laws. You do the crime, you do the time

There is a shocking lack of diversity in those mug shots!

[MetalHeart]

liquor stores, Electronic stores, Drug stores, NO Libraries were harmed or Broken into during this process. LOL

They looted the shoe store and left all the work boots behind.

[lorrainemcgee]

If this was any other country none of this would be allowed to happen, there would be dire consequences for doing so, why do we allow it

[mrg]

The judges who perpetuate this slap on the wrist punishment must be removed.

[LdyButterflyDMG]

Some countries remove a thief’s hand. Might be time. It would drastically stop all of this insanity that is in many cities.

Cover all the shop windows with job applications. Just the mere thought of having a job is like the sun on a vampire..this will ward them off.
