Philadelphia police: At least 50 ATMs have been blown up in George Floyd riots; man arrested on WMD charge

Looters have used explosives to try and break into dozens of ATMs in Philadelphia since Saturday, the city’s police commissioner said during a press conference Wednesday -- and at least one man has been arrested for allegedly selling homemade dynamite.

“In addition to the looting and vandalism, there has been a marked increase in attempts to forcibly enter ATM machines,” Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. “These attempts have included the extremely reckless and dangerous use of explosive materials.”

She said police have responded to at least 135 “explosive events” overall in the last few days, including about 50 ATMs that were damaged or opened as the result of blasts.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said at least one person had been arrested after allegedly hawking homemade dynamite along with instructions on how to use it specifically to break into ATMs.

"At a time when millions in our country are calling for justice, these violent crimes of distraction are intolerable," Shaprio said. "They are a threat to our safety, but also to our First Amendment right to be heard, to assemble, to protest."

Shapiro said investigators found social media posts from the suspect in which he allegedly advertised the explosives for sale and boasted that dynamite is "better than bullets" for robbing an ATM. He said police set up an undercover buy and caught the suspect with live explosives in his vehicle.

The suspect, identified as Talib Crump, faces a slew of charges, including one count of possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Authorities said it's unclear whether or not he is connected to any of the explosions.

A 24-year-old man died in one ATM explosion Tuesday after he allegedly attempted to break into a machine on a sidewalk outside a sports bar on North Second Street.

“As best we can determine at the moment, the vast majority of these machines were damaged or opened by the use of M250 to M100 illegal explosive devices,” Outlaw said.

She said the city police department was receiving help from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Most of the damaged ATMs had no money in them, Outlaw said, but she is encouraging business owners in the city who have their own private machines to make sure they’re empty of cash until the situation calms down.

“It's not worth the injuries that we're seeing associated with this,” she aded.[color="Red"](SIC!!! AA HIRE MISSPELLED "added" in the original article. ) “And it's not worth the risk to the community and the danger that it's been imposing.”

The ATM break-ins happened during protests over the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd, who died in police custody on May 25. In some cases, looters and vandals have taken advantage of the demonstrations to break into or deface businesses.

Four police officers were fired from the Minneapolis Police Department last week. Following days of unrest across the country, they have all been criminally charged.

Notice the number "50." That's all I shall say about that at this time.

At one time there were a ton of "resources" deployed whenever explosives were used even once. A real person was the 20th century equivalent of the outlaw Jesse James at least in the northern areas of Georgia. He ran the "Dixie mafia" for some years. I never met him but lots of mountain boys I knew had met him and bought some of his moonshine. They said that he was the most likeable type of fellow for miles around. Well, as long as you just bought your "shine" and didn't try to cause any trouble. One person directed some federal blue niggers to a few stills and had inside info on "Mr. Brown" as I'll call him. One day before the trial there was a raid on the snitch's property, blue niggers guarding him were dispatched with fully automatic weapons, and his home was sent skyward by an explosion equivalent to 20 sticks of dynamite, or so it was reported. The ATF came down hard. Mr. Brown began to lose his assets. They dogged him until he was penniless and he died trying to rob a bank in the hills of northeast Georgia.

Now the Pennsylvania Attorney General is (((Josh Shiparo))). I wonder how much a kike will do?????? When a sheboon police commissioner is also involved.
