Philadelphia has degenerated into anarchy. Organized gangs of looters smash windows and steal everything and anything from stores on entire blocks. Social media "influencers" celebrate online glorifying the violence and criminal behavior.
All liquor stores in the city have been closed. That follows break-ins at 18 such stores overnight. The oppressed are looting only because they need food and clothing you understood, but first they must get trashed.
The decision to shutter more than two dozen Fine Wine & Good Spirits locations was "in the interest of employee safety and while we assess the damage and loss that occurred," Shawn M. Kelly, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board, said in a statement.
The stores will reopen "when it is safe to do so and when the damage is repaired," Kelly said.
