Mob Of People Spontaneously Ransack Wawa Convenience Store In Philadelphia
2022-09-26
[ZH] A
vibrant and diverse
mob of people entered a Wawa convenience store on Roosevelt Boulevard in Philadelphia and broke out into a riot, seemingly without warning or reason. There's no comment yet from Philadelphia police on the cause of the rampage. As the economic situation in the US continues to decline and prices continue to rise on most goods, expect to see more scenes like this one on a regular basis. [Video in ZH article.]

#17  Soon "shopping" will be online only through your cellphone. Come to the drive-thru and pick up your order from a cashier behind armor glass. No shoplifting unless you count mugging shoppers for their purchases.

#16  It will be considered racist when the mob of people have to commute an hour to buy groceries because nobody will build near the mob areas.

#14  If the feebs were focused on anything besides honest, disgruntled Americans right now they could monitor the coordination on social media that goes into such a thing.

Maybe if the big corpos were being hurt they would. Right now it's just hard working pvt ltd owners I guess.

#13  Congress of Fowls, or, An Area of Avian Affection

Independence Hall doves coo "Ungawa,"
Pluck flowers. Red geese honk "Black Power!"
"Free handfuls of stogies
With all stolen hoagies,"
Squawk blue cackling grackles at Wawa.

Hmm. Could've sworn I read something about twerking. Must've been some other looting story. Never mind.

#11  Organized Retail Crime - Nothing Spontaneous about most of these events. Not simply looting, but planned, with increasing numbers of tag-a-longs once it is underway. Brought to you by the confluence of existing Wakandan Street Gangs and the importation of a whole new experienced Central American criminal class by the Puppet Show.

Been hearing from some loss prevention buddies...
They are more and more focused on the FOOD areas than even the cash registers.

NOTE: Baby stroller couples, using a blanket over the child seat area to hide items, being the currently most common shoplifters.

One even joked he was thinking it would be not too long before hiring armed guard escorts to get customers safely to their car.
