"Mostly Peaceful"*summer of 2023 begins

[Story]

The youthful scholars of the Philadelphia school system are out for spring break and, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, bring with them their hilarious hijinks.

Several juveniles were arrested Wednesday night after chaos in Center City led to the injury of one police officer.

Police tell Action News hundreds of teens gathered in Center City just before 8 p.m. The massive crowd moved through Front and Market streets into the Fashion District area, then into Love Park before stopping at City Hall.

At one point, some people in the crowd were jumping on top of police cars, sources told Action News.

One police officer suffered non-life-threatening injuries and several juveniles were taken into custody.

Mayor Jim Kenney [aka The Weasel] released this statement on the incident:

"Tonight, a large group of mostly young people was being destructive and disruptive in Center City. This dangerous behavior will not be tolerated. We take public safety very seriously-I'm grateful to @PhillyPolice for responding, dispersing the crowd, and making necessary arrests. I'm saddened when young people engage in behavior that endangers themselves and others, especially because it is not representative of the majority of our city's youth, who are positively engaged in their communities. We all must work together to support our young people."

nothing will happen to these kids cause they will cry racism and the left will shield their actions. the DA and the judges will let them off. we would probably be better off if the cities just burn down completely.

The problem is, one has to have a job to see those gains.
