Philadelphia suffered its second night in a row of mass looting incidents and destructive social media-fueled mayhem on Wednesday, resulting in more than 50 arrests, police said.
On Wednesday, groups of thieves, apparently working together,
destroyed property in several areas of the city, smashed their way into stores, and stole as much as they could before fleeing, authorities said. Suspects also ransacked more than a dozen state-run liquor stores so thoroughly that the state announced it was closing its Philly locations until further notice.
Video on social media also suggested that culprits made off with a Wells Fargo ATM, but a spokesperson for Wells Fargo told Fox News Digital that the ATM was not stolen and that the bank does not currently have an ATM in that location as it is being replaced.

Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said at a news conference on Tuesday that those doing the ransacking — who he referred to as "a bunch of criminal opportunists" — were not affiliated with a peaceful protest that gathered immediately after the judge’s decision was announced.
Commentary:
Besides the looting and damage to the stores the arrests of the perpetrators makes things more complicated by the federal funds (our tax money) will be used, or already is bailing out these failed cesspools of humanity. No lessons learned, no consequences, no justice.
