Philadelphia Braces for Looting as Police Suspend Arrests for Non-Violent Crimes
 By Jared Harris, The Western Journal
Published March 18, 2020 at 10:34pm

A controversial suspension of non-violent arrests has Philadelphia businesses on edge and fortifying against potential looters.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw announced the suspension of all arrests for certain non-violent crimes Wednesday, according to WTXF-TV.

According to documents acquired by law enforcement journalist Rob O’Donnell, the move suspends arrests for narcotics offenses, theft, burglary, stolen vehicles, fraud and prostitution.

Reaction to the news was swift.

“For the criminals in town, good to know,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted. “For the citizens of Philly, not so much.”

Businesses, many shuttered by their own choice or by official order, began bracing for a potential spike in theft and looting by fortifying windows and doorways.

To hopefully prevent looting while shutdown, The PA state liquor store on 69th Street is boarded up like it’s ready for a hurricane.   After closing indefinitely for Coronavirus, the glass windows&doors are now all covered with thick plywood.   @FOX29philly

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, if looting goes up, you can bet the number of fatalities do too as people defend their possessions from those who wish to steal them.

I wonder how the thugs are dealing with the crisis. How many gang members are staying inside instead of inflicting themselves on the public? They, the thugs, must be going crazy not having as many people to rob or kill on the streets. Other than themselves that is.

Supposedly there have been reports of looting in San Francisco.

Meanwhile police are issuing 'failure to keep social distance' citations.

No. They and, apparently, 'day laborers' in front of Home Depot are exempt.
