This video footage is from the official YouTube channel of 6abc Philadelphia. It shows a mass looting event that happened at an Apple store in Philadelphia on September 26, 2023:

Watching that video, I really have to wonder: What is the mindset of a person who steals a traceable iPhone, which has GPS tracking, and which can be bricked (i.e., rendered unusable) by the Apple store immediately after it is stolen?
Other stores in Philadelphia were also looted during this mass looting event.
Jessica Mann, a managing attorney at Shaka Johnson, is a lawyer for Dayjia Blackwell, one of the alleged looters in Philadelphia.
I don’t know if Blackwell appears in the above video.
After this multi-store, recent mass looting event in Philadelphia, Blackwell was charged with six felonies and two misdemeanors, including burglary and conspiracy.
Blackwell is an online video streamer known as “Meatball.” She live streamed the recent mass looting event in Philadelphia.
Mann, Blackwell’s lawyer, said:
“It sickens me to witness the media’s complicity in what can only be described as an all-out assault on black and brown people, as their character and actions are mercilessly vilified”

I can’t speak for other critics of the looters. But it is my policy to never criticize someone for something that is not under their control. Therefore, I make zero criticism of anyone for their skin color. On the other hand, it is my policy to criticize people for the choices that they make. And looting is a choice. Therefore, I will continue to criticize people who choose to loot. And I will not fall for this lawyer’s false accusations of racism.
Furthermore, not all of the looters were black or brown.
6abc Philadelphia published these mugshots of some of the alleged looters. As you can see, not all of them are black or brown.

This video is from the official YouTube channel of ABC News. In this video, Stanford says:
“This had nothing to do with a protest. What we had tonight was a bunch of criminal opportunists take advantage of a situation, and make an attempt to destroy our city.”
I agree with Stanford.

How did she pass the bar exam?
By cheating.
I may be a racist in Jessica’s book butt I thank the Lord I’m not a braindead lawyer.
In what country was this fool educated?
She took it during happy hour.
The democrats are allowing America’s most privileged to steal and to keep the proceeds of their theft. This is deliberate and intentional. The excuse is “George Floyd.” The real reason is to take money from those who earn it and give it to those who lob around and blame Whitey for their failures.
This policy can only end in disaster for the productive people in this country. The non-working dysfunctional indolent people have nothing to worry about - democrats will just give them things free.
Gee, let me think. Is she implying all the crime is being committed by “People of color”?
We is owed! We jus’ be reparatin’!
Having stuff I want is racist.
Jessica is pulling the race card, I see. Typical race obsessed leftist.
Shaka Johnson Lawfirm be like....
HOW ABOUT PLAIN IGNORANCE???
But I thought Meatball filmed herself picking up an expensive bottle of liquor and saying, “This is going home with me,” or words to that effect?
Another one from the ‘you can’t make this stuff up file’.
It’s hard to imagine someone being so clueless, so low IQ, and still manage to pass the bar exam. Must have been a blow job involved.
Well, a lawyer has to try to defend their client. And if your client livestreamed themselves committing the crime, you can’t really use the tactic of denying they did it. So you’ve got to come up with something else to try to mitigate their guilt, like “racism!” or some other conspiracy theory.
The Racist charge hurled at a normal person has no more shame value.
Oh, I’m a racist? Okay. Whatever. You’re still going to jail.
No!
Having stuff you want and earned the money to for, paid for is racist.
Well, duh. “Working” and “paying money” are racist, so…
To be clear; I meant that if you have stuff I want, that makes you a racist. Especially if you worked for it and paid money for it, and I didn’t.
