Elon Musk calls out criminal chaos in blue city, says it reminds him of 'Joker' movie

Billionaire Elon Musk called out Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for images of dystopian levels of brazen crime after a weekend of illegal street takeovers.

Here is some more commentary about that night of criminal acts by those crowds.

As a kid, we had 1/4 mile road races with my 68 Camaro but never in the city streets because we were afraid of cops. Today kids have gone wild. I don't understand why Jared put this in his article because to me it sounds like cops are also the problem.

"Tattoos, previous drug use, education, and physical fitness standards are all being reevaluated by department officials."

If I was a cop I think I would fail the first two on his list but my tattoos are my grandchildren's names.

There was a similar event in Los Angelos. Fifty people entered a 7-11 and took what they wanted and left. There was no concern about arrest.

It's Philly. They riot every Tuesday.

And LA on Wednesday? For me, crime is no laughing matter because it only hurts the ones that work hard.

And men fought back in 1940's, so eventually thugs/thieves can act commit crimes like these. With LA city council members saying they should be punished severely, like having to do community service.
Are you kidding really community service is really going to stop this mindset

What a sorry state this country has move in.

With all due respect, I think those people who fought back in the 1940s would be FAR more upset with the fact that their enemies and the people they were shooting at are now parading through towns chanting their bull.

"Businesses across Philadelphia increased their security following two nights of looting across the city.


As of Friday morning, at least 61 people have been arrested in connection to the looting incidents, police said.


The looting began Tuesday night following an afternoon protest in response to all charges being dropped against the Philadelphia police officer who killed Eddie Irizarry in the city's Kensington neighborhood in August.


Officials said that the protest had no connection to the looting incidents.


The suspects included Dayjia Blackwell, aka "Meatball," a Philadelphia social media influencer who officials said livestreamed and helped organize the looting that occurred Tuesday night.


Mayor Jim Kenney stated that Blackwell had "created, basically incited the riot."


Blackwell, 21, later spoke with NBC10's Claudia Vargas after being bailed out of jail by her mother.


The looting continued Wednesday night into early Thursday morning."

So...will anyone actually go to prison? Or is this just another "arrest them and just let them go to reoffend" incident, such as has been happening all over the country for the past few years? I guess we shall see.

At least 61 arrested following 2 nights of looting in Philadelphia, police say

Scenes like this in some of our biggest cities reminds me of "The Purge" movies.
