The Fishtown section of Philadelphia is a gentrified area that has been an up and coming re-born section of the city for several years now. Looks like the inhabitants are fed up with the rioting, looting, burning and destruction by illegal mobs.
Tensions flared in a Philadelphia neighborhood on Monday between George Floyd protesters and bat-wielding vigilantes, according to a report.
Dozens of white men carrying bats, hammers and shovels got into an hours-long standoff with a crowd of mostly younger Fishtown residents protesting police brutality, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
“Leave us alone!” one of the protesters yelled. “We live here and they’re making us feel unsafe!”
The men claimed they were out to protect their neighborhood in the event of riots or looting, and traded gibes with the protesters.

Now, MOST of the Media is calling it Racist and the people Vigilantes.
Nearly 150 people, almost all of them men and very nearly all of them white, milled about Berks Street and Girard Avenue in the Fishtown neighborhood Monday night. Many had baseball bats and other household tools of force.
It was after 6 p.m., when an emergency city curfew was already in place. It, too, was during the throes of an on-going pandemic, when public health advisements still recommended social distancing. They gathered in response to rumors that some undefined splinter group of rioters was coming for the neighborhood — rioters who never appeared. They weren’t spreading themselves out to protect storefronts necessarily. It looked like everything I understand a vigilante group to look like.

More Philly mayhem.
At least a dozen ATM machines exploded in Philadelphia Monday night, local news outlets reported on Tuesday morning.
One of the more recent explosions occurred around 6 a.m. ET and led to a 24-year-old man's death from injuries suffered in the blast, according to Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia." Updates shared to the public safety application Citizen, which compiles information from 911 calls, cited comments from police that said two half sticks of dynamite were identified near the machine.
At 7:30 a.m., it was unclear if the man killed had attempted to rob the ATM himself. Philadelphia police requested assistance from the department's bomb squad as they worked to evaluate the incident, according to the safety app's latest update.
LOL!

A direct result of "you didn't build that."

The Communist Mayor of Philadelphia condemned those defending their homes and neighborhoods and supported what he called "Protesters" whom are actually rioters, arsonists, and looters. >:(
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia residents were asking questions after a group of people armed with bats and other objects took to the streets Monday night in Fishtown.
And Mayor Jim Kenney provided his answer during a noon news conference Tuesday: "Going forward, any displays of vigilantism will not be tolerated, period," Kenney said.

So the Mayor of Philly had the statue of former two term Mayor and Police Chief, Frank Rizzo removed. It will most likely be destroyed. Rizzo was a tough talking, tough on crime, no nonsense guy. Of course they now accuse him of being Racist.
PHILADELPHIA - The controversial statue of former Philadelphia mayor and police commissioner Frank Rizzo has been removed from the plaza in front of the Municipal Services Building.
Crews worked during the early morning hours Wednesday to uproot the polarizing statue. The 10-foot tall structure was lifted with a crane and hauled away in the back of a truck. The mayor's office says it will be placed in secure storage pending a further decision.
"The statue represented bigotry, hatred, and oppression for too many people, for too long. It is finally gone." Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted on Wednesday.
Kenney's office released a statement Wednesday and said the decision to move the statue was first motivated by cost-efficiency in coordination with upcoming renovations to Thomas Paine Plaza.
"That choice was a mistake," Kenney said. "We prioritized efficiency over full recognition of what this statue represented to Black Philadelphians and members of other marginalized communities."
The Rizzo statue stood nearby city hall for nearly two decades. Kenney said he was never a fan of the statue and does not believe any mayor should have a monument erected in their honor.
"In hindsight, I wish we had [removed the statue] earlier, but we've done it now and hopefully it's representative of where we're going to go."
What an effing asshole! Virtue signaling Racist douche bag.

Communist want to expunge all traces of history before their regime. This has been true for the most part of communist takeovers.
Rewrite history and take down any and all relics that don't follow their version of history. We use to have encyclopedias that chronicled history and for the most part, accurate. Now we have "wikipedia" which puts out their version of history and events, which more often than not is extremely biased.
Even classroom history books now are biased material to indoctrinate youth. Early American history is largely ignored.
This is the insidious nature of the progressive/communist mindset, much akin to boiling the frog. The ancient Romans held the circus and Colosseum games to distract and amuse the population while the politicians ran the government and did whatever they pleased, until the ultimate failure. We have people today who are more concerned with what a celebrity is doing or what the next sports season is shaping up to do than give a shit about what government is doing.
What was the line about not remembering history?

I was searching for a GIF showing unarmed combat with maybe somebody like Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris and saw that in the web search.
Looks like she basically climbs him like a ladder, with some added twists. I have not seen the movie and in fact it took me a while to work out who she was and what movie the clip was from, since the web site I snagged it from didn't have any ID info. This version is in color [but for some reason cuts out the climbing portion] and is from a site that gave me the name of the movie and actress https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/448460075377207750/ (https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/448460075377207750/). Sorry for running off topic.
