A Wawa in northeast Philadelphia, a city run by Democrats, gave the police a new video showing 50 and 100 juveniles pillaging and plundering the store over the weekend.
The ransacking is similar to the smash-and-grab crimes across the country.
Philadelphia Police Captain John J. Ryan said “approximately 50 to 100 people” participated in the crime.
The situation began in a nearby skating rink:
Police say the mob came to Wawa from the Rolling Thunder Skating Center next door. An employee there says the mob broke tables.”After they roller skated, they started fighting inside the Rolling Thunder, after they went inside Rolling Thunder, they started fighting and going crazy in Wawa and throwing chips,” Rolling Thunder employee Latif Kelsey said.When police arrived, they broke up the crowd, but there were outnumbered and unable to make any arrests.”We have to be cautious because if we just had officers running in and just grabbing kids, we would be having a whole different conversation today. And then that’s the unfortunate piece,” Philadelphia Police First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford said.
