Every major Businesses shutdown all your businesses in Philadelphia and relocate to safe city.

It's easy said. Try working all your life to better your life. Your parents sold all their land back home to make life easier for their families and in a blink of an eye it's all gone. 89 years of blood. Sweat and hard labour all gone. Not forgetting in between you lost your grand parents and your parents and family and friends. But life goes on. God bless all. Hope?? Gave up on that years ago.

[@jenniferacker]

Thanks for making this follow up video. I was horrified when I watched your looting one last nite but to see the aftermath today almost makes me want to cry. It’s not the big wigs of the companies that are gonna suffer. I would imagine they have a shit ton of insurance & my guess is it would cover the cost to get the stores back up & running. It’s all the people who actually work in the stores & their families that are gonna be the ones to suffer. I don’t know anything about how that works but I’d think they would be able to collect some unemployment or maybe they’d still get their regular pay? I feel really bad for all the little stores that got hit like Great Nails, & jewelry store. I hope they’re able to recover. My biggest question is WHY the Dollar Tree? I’m not a professional looter. I don’t know a thing about the art of looting but if I was a looter my first instinct would be to hit up places with valuable merch & not a dollar store lol. I think most stores are supposed to empty their registers after closing & the money is locked in a safe somewhere. I never worked retail so I’m just guessing here. If there’s gonna be another nite of this bullshit I just really hope & pray the city is prepared & ready to take whatever action they need to protect themselves, the city & all its residents. I hope you & your family stay safe while all this stupid shit is happening 👍🏻

The problem comes when non protesters, common criminals like the ones "looting", are given free range to do so, and the local government does nothing to try and prevent this from happening again especially since just 4 months ago the very thing happened. When the local and state governments don't act in the best interest of the wider constituency, and matters are to the point of utter chaos, then I would suggest martial law. Furthermore, the National Guard was stationed at and near City Hall, none were sent to or near Aramingo Avenue.

So any excuse is used to do what they want, this is America! and we must be accountable for raising are children and watch are behavior. Yr video shows more of the destruction then the media but un less the heart of the issues are addressed more mayhem might come. This area is one of my favorite places to shop I feel for the employees that work in these stores to feed thier families. May God keep and Bless them.

Florida's law to shoot looters should be country wide.

[@mickitymacripprince4597]

I wanted to ask u Philly Captain do u ever have merchandise giveaways??

[@brianhernandez6979]

This is ridiculous. Businesses should go ahead and protect what belongs to them at all costs.

[@davidellis5141]

This is going to become more common as the pandemic continues - August 2021.

[@jonjamj3056]

What a bunch of pathetic losers that would do this to there own community. I hope the stores close and move to a neighborhood that appreciates them. Unfortunately there are many good people there that will suffer.This is the lost generation.

The government should have given stimulus so ppl didn't have to resort to stealing. People are dirt poor.

[@famouszack]

🤣🤣 Chestnut Street where I work it’s even bad

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

What and Chestnut?

[@glrywins]

Welcome to New America we hope you enjoy your stay. Now featuring Lawlessness, chaos, and the debuting role of Anarchy.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

No need for lawlessness .... Chaos and Anarchy sums it up. Plus we already have the Chaos and Anarchy t shirts made

[@burbs59]

Did they get any work boots?

[@emmanuelzorg9676]

Moved away from that hood 6 years ago. Such a shame so many depend on those stores being in walking distance. Tragedy

[@johnsmit5999]

Someday I hope to know why this is allowed to happen.

[@anthonyburzynski9647]

Ask the mayor 😛
