When the Sun goes down

and all the nice stores are closed the lowlifes in Philly showed us how low they can stoop for cheap entertainment.

A large gang of thugs with nothing better to do resorted to looting and trashing a WaWa in N.E. Philly. Seriously? That's like looting the Dollar Store. Must have been all newbies.

The clerk behind the counter recorded what he could on his phone before fleeing. I don't think he was afraid. I think he got tired of listening to the lady in front of him asking "When are you going to make my sandwich?" in the midst of all the commotion.

It's been rumored that the only thing left unscathed was the warmer holding the day old hotdogs.

Yep. Just finished reading about it. Approximately 100 gang members involved. The article said that the police arrived but "no arrests were made" and other WaWa stores in the area have similarly been hit. The article also said that crime was up 40% in that area.

Hmmm. Let's see if I've got this right...you defund the police and hamstring them by either doing nothing or immediately releasing the perpetrators, and then wonder why crime is up.

Uh...is it just me or is something seriously wrong with this picture?

I would like to see a store protect its worker with bullet proof glass and

also have a system to lock the front door, until the LE came !!

Let them all say hello to the judge !!

Several years ago, outside Delaware, Ohio on Horseshoe Rd., a gun store was burglarized one weekday night. The got 136 handguns.

Two weeks later, knowing the insurance had funded the restocking of the store, the same 3 guys broke in again. A silent alarm went off in the Sherriff's office. 3 minutes after the break-in, the first cruiser pulled in the parking lot to find all 3 rolling on the ground screaming. 45 seconds after the alarm went off, the entire store was fogged with CS gas!134 of the stolen guns were recovered.

I love a happy ending!

That's the only way I'd feel comfortable working at a 24 hour gas station. That and being armed.

Here in Vegas what happens is that the stores in certain neighborhoods all close. Then the "community leaders" whine that they are in a food desert. The complaints are going to the wrong people.

When you tell an entire generation that:
A. The police are evil.
B. Anyone with more money than them should give them some.
C. Peoples feelings trump other's rights.
you're gonna wind up with a large percentage that believe that this kind of thing is OK.

And the bin holding the blank job applications.

Until it becomes too "expensive" for people to pursue this activity, the activity will continue unabated.

In reality, many business owners will simply close down. Large areas end up with no retail, no groceries, no fuel, no booze, no banks, no services of any kind. Firefighters and ambulance personnel refuse to respond to such areas because of the dangers. Cops refuse to enter these areas unless overwhelming forces are provided. Public utilities, water, sanitary sewer, all cease to exist without routine maintenance.

In the current environment of Wokeness the small portion of the population performing all the destruction become the VICTIMS.

Allowed to continue, property values fall through the floor, tax revenues disappear, local and state government services become impossible to continue. Everyone with any ability to escape will do so, leaving only the least capable and most vulnerable at the mercy of increasing chaos.

How much longer can it be until people stop calling 9-1-1 to report crimes, simply call the sanitation department to report rotting corpses on the streets and sidewalks? When authorities manage to respond it might be impossible to find anyone who saw anything, heard anything, or remembers anything.

Glad I don't in or near a big city.........When the sun goes down here I still have 1 hour of legal shooting time in my deer stand........sumtimes dat's de only time de bigguns come out to play.

 

[coltle6920]

I was told by a Denver cop that if I ever had to call 9-1-1 it's likely that I would be asked if I needed the police or a social worker.

Yes, we're in it.

That was a really nice neighborhood when I was a kid. Actually it was still decent 20 years ago. I lived further down the Roosevelt Blvd in the Oxford Circle neighborhood (5907 Loretto Ave), which started going down hill in the mid '90s. If you told me in 1985 that Northeast Philly would look like it does today I wouldn't have believed you. It makes me sad and angry to see all the neighborhoods I knew ruined.

Nothing short of a meteor strike could clean up Philly at this point. The City Council has been a pathetic joke for decades, the Mayors even worse, and the current DA is a Soros funded scumbag. You can't expect much stability in a city where the all levels of government focus on letting criminals go free while putting cops in prison.
