No, it’s just typical Philadelphia Eagles fans. That’s how they roll.

I agree the tepid response was shameful. Philly should have deployed the National Guard well in advance.

I disagree (of course) with the terrorists who were a small group keeping people from watching the SB.

Huge difference between arresting a small number of terrorist thugs and stopping thousands and thousands of drunk thugs.

Black Lives matter is a collection of idiots, liars, and dorks.
However, even a stopped clock is correct on occasion.
Rioters, no matter what the background should be arrested, jailed, and made to pay in some manner for the damage they have done.
Period.

Methinks the NFL should pay for all damages, since they actively defend the “felon” in the National Felon’s League.

To the Black LiIES Matter klan. Actually, in today’s America, the tables have turned. What we are witnessing now is black privilege. African-Americans are accorded special treatment across the board. “Victim status is treasured in America,” says Ben Shapiro, “and black skin guarantees automatic victim status thanks to America’s history.” Being black today, Shapiro concludes, grants privileges ranging from landing coveted college scholarships to becoming activists who can build careers on racial grievances. Here are some examples of black privilege:

Affirmative action quotas are the norm in education and employment—“more firmly entrenched in our society than ever before,” says Scott Greer.
Political correctness supports anything related to African-Americans and condemns anything related to Caucasian-Americans.
College and university courses are specially designed for black students.
Black students benefit from the lower standards applied by college professors who practice “affirmative grading.”
Corporate diversity programs. reports that corporations offer programs and internships to black workers but not to whites.
Diversity training represents blacks in a positive light and whites negatively.
Many courts are reluctant to prosecute blacks for various criminal acts in fear of being called racist.
Blacks can belong to clubs and organizations that cater specifically to their race, “but there’s no National Association for the Advancement of White People because such a group would be deemed racist.”
Media bias caters to positive depictions of blacks and avoids negative ones.
“Black pride” is considered a form of empowerment; “white pride” is considered a form of racism.
Blacks can get away with racial slurs, but whites can’t use the N word.
Hollywood casting has completely turned around as a consequence of aggressive lobbying by black special interests.
Black privilege even extends to the White House, observes author David Horowitz, alleging that Obama “wouldn’t be elected dogcatcher if he wasn’t black.”
The white establishment is bending over backwards to accommodate African-Americans who demonstrate even marginal capabilities. You won’t see that happen in the NBA, which is based on performance, but the rest of our society has ceased to be a meritocracy. Given the enormous strides we have made on the issue of race, black privilege is no longer justified. On its face, it is just as racist as white privilege.

The fact that these BLM loons are even taken seriously, is an example how far this Republic has fallen.

All I see from the coverage shows a predominantly black group participating in the post game vandalism. Where are the whites? Leave it to Black Lives Matter to make an issue where there is none. I thought if it was a case of “white privilege” that whites have to be connected somehow.

Filthadelphia is the a**hole of my home state.

Would like to forcibly annex it to Jersey.

Was it mainly White people rioting?

It’s a glaring example of how you can take them out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of them.

The Philly police chief is black and the Philly mayor is an extreme leftist. So once again we see these problems always manifest themselves in liberal cities.

HOWEVER, the there is a YUGE difference between drunk hipsters jummping of the off the canopy of the Ritz and BLM/Antifa thugs shooting at policeman.
