The City of Brotherly Love faced a second consecutive night of widespread looting, with footage showing hooded women grabbing supplies from a beauty store and the glass windows of a liquor store shattered after the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board closed all of its locations in Philadelphia.
Store security footage obtained by CBS News showed a group of women busting through the glass front door of Nat’s Beauty Supply in Mayfair early Thursday morning.
They could be seen indiscriminately pulling hair extensions and wigs off the shelves of the store, which owner Claudia Silmeas opened just six months prior.
“It’s just me doing everything,” she told CBS 3. “I don’t know what to think, I don’t know who to call. Everything is missing.”
[If Philadelphia doesn’t start taking more forceful action against looting, they won’t have much of a Philadelphia left. Closing the liquor stores didn’t deter the organized criminal gangs committing these acts. Perhaps allowing citizens to use lethal force to defend property might make a difference … or at least putting prosecutors who prosecute into office, and city leaders who let police do their jobs. — Ed]
