Reply to comment by Electronic_Chard_270 in As Wawa shutters Center City stores, Philly DA Krasner plays defense by User_Name13

That's a blatant lie. The entire main strip of Walnut St was torn apart, Chestnut hit as well, multiple police cars burned in CC, fires still going the next morning. Then you guys moved on to more neighborhoods after you ransacked rittenhouse.

There's video of it... Why even bother lying? This is dumber than nazis claiming the Holocaust didn't happen. We literally have video and news documentation of these events. It was only a couple years ago.

I’m not saying it did not happen. I’m saying that was 2 years ago and the areas it happened in are fine. Really dude the holocaust? Don’t be hyperbolic

Your historical revision is the same thing, except dumber since there's video evidence of it and it was only two years ago.

> I’m saying that was 2 years ago and the areas it happened in are fine

You just moved the goal post from "It didn't happen" to "the areas have recovered".

The original comment is laying out a timeline of events spanning back years. The riots were a pivotal part of that. Now you're trying to say "you're not allowed to mention it because it was two years ago"? It's a part of the timeline for why PPD is the way they are today.

Absolutely pivotal man, you’re completely right. I forgot the PPD only started being shitty right around that time.

I laid out a timeline in the comment you responded to. What point are you even trying to make here?

Your first reply was an attempt at historical revisionism. That didn't work out. What's the purpose of this one?

My point is you’re thesis about why the PPD doesn’t do their job is simply wrong. They’ve been shitty for a long long time, it has nothing to do with the DA or June 2020. Those are scapegoats to pass the blame. They get more money than any other agency in city government and they’re incompetent.

How's it wrong?

You've had several comments now and the best you've got is a terrible attempt at historical revisionism which you immediately, thankfully, went back on, followed by "you're wrong!".

It's like I'm talking to a five year old.

Do you believe the PPD was an effective agency before June of 2020 and before Krasner? Murder clearance rates sure suggest otherwise. What’s happening with the PPD has been going on for years. That is how you’re wrong. You try to blame a complicated problem on two things that happened. It’s simply not accurate

Nobody's discussing whether or not the PPD has always been perfect.

You've already hit your limit on moving goalposts for the day.

This thread is discussing the Wawa closures and the increased in crime in philly over the past few years. The comment you chimed in on is discussing the current state of PPD and why they don't seem to be doing their job.
