Influencer 'Meatball' appears to be arrested while livestreaming wild looting rampage in Philadelphia
2023-09-28
[NYPOST] A popular social media influencer known as "Meatball" livestreamed the rabid looting spree that engulfed Philadelphia’s city center overnight, before she was seemingly arrested while cheering on the marauders.
Mob euphoria fades.
Meatball, whose real name is Dayjia Blackwell, shared video and photos on her Instagram Stories gleefully documenting the mass plunder of several businesses, including an Apple store, a Foot Locker, a Lululemon and a liquor store.

The content creator with close to 650,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok could be seen laughing, clapping and shouting "Let’s go!" as she witnessed suspected looters fleeing while she was driven across the city.

Blackwell later continued filming the frenzy on foot, capturing her apparent enthusiasm.

"Tell the police they’re either gonna lock me up tonight, or it’s gonna get lit, it’s gonna be a movie," she said at one point in her videos.

Joining a crowd of youngsters loitering in the street, a laughing Blackwell exclaimed at one point: "This is what happens when we don’t get justice in this city."

#7  Most insane is that she was/is an INFLUENCER. There are folks literally taking her word as inspiration. It's confirmation bias on a cultural scale. We've had 3 years of animals running amok and they've enshrined it. Imagine the force necessary to corral this up cuz it's coming.

#5  'Influencer' is a catch-all for various activities, much like 'artist' and 'actor'.

#3  Store chains that have locations in cities like Philadelphia should plan to be looted every national election cycle. When you do the revenue and expense calculations based on that likely cycle, there is no reason to empty any store that is looted. In the case of Illinois, every chain should exit the state. Cash bail enables daily looting that kills profitability. These wipeout events are the coup de grace.
