Super Bowl Celebration – Philadelphia, PA

from Unravel

February 9, 2025

There were 10 arrests and 29 summons for disorderly conduct issued by Philadelphia Police during the raucous celebration of the Eagles’ Super Bowl win Sunday night, police said.

Six people were arrested for six assaults on police officers, said department spokesperson Sgt. Eric Gripp. There were four other arrests: one for reckless endangerment, two for aggravated assault, and one for misdemeanor disorderly conduct, he said.

There were also eight reports of vandalism, said Gripp.

Despite calls from Mayor Cherelle L. Parker to not climb poles or anything else and to celebrate safely, some of the massive crowds of people that took to the streets after the Eagles won their second Super Bowl, caused mayhem.

Multiple people climbed light poles along Broad Street. Crowds tried to flip a police vehicle at Broad and Chestnut Streets. More than a dozen people danced on top of a medic vehicle. A group of people took towels out from a truck at 12th and Market Streets and started setting them on fire.

“Fuck this shit”

from Instagram

"Fuck this shit" Seen on an ad for The Linden, a Luxury Apartment building located across the street from Clark Park in West Philadelphia. Majority of the units and every store are currently vacant because the monthly rent is triple what the rest of the neighborhood is. No one in this neighborhood could afford to live here..it is also located right next door to a low income public health clinic. Early this morning, 17 windows were smashed and messages were left.

pro-Palestine vandalism, arson at Centre Co. DoD building – Ferguson Township, PA

from Unravel

Investigators say on June 4, the unidentified suspect allegedly spray-painted pro-Palestine graffiti on the side of the U.S. Department of Defense contractor building, which is located along Science Park Road, in Ferguson Township.

Authorities say the graffiti included several pro-Palestine phrases, such as”FOR THE MARTYRS,” “ESCALATE 4 RAFAH,” and “FREE PALESTINE.”

Federal officials say the suspect then allegedly attempted to enter the building but fled after being confronted by security.

Investigators say a few days later, during the early morning hours of June 9, the same individual returned to the building and again spray-painted graffiti, including the phrase “INTIFADA IS HERE,” and an inverted red triangle indicating the “rising” is here.

Authorities say the suspect then began pouring a flammable liquid near the building before lighting it and fleeing the scene.

Investigators note that the area around the building includes a compressed natural gas pipeline, a natural gas generator, and a nearby transformer.

Old City Synagogue Statue Vandalized – Philadelphia, PA

from Unravel

October 22, 2024

Someone defaced a memorial sculpture in front of the building by scrawling profanity on it, said Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.

The sculpture was a tribute to Israeli military commander Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who led — and was killed during — the raid on Entebbe that rescued more than 100 hostages being held by terrorists at an airport in Uganda in 1976. Both brothers, Zarnighian said, were congregants at Mikveh Israel.

Police said the profanity written on the memorial statue was not antisemitic.

Congregation Mikveh Israel was founded in 1740 and bills itself as the synagogue of the American Revolution.

Union Busting Pizza Shop Vandalized on May Day

from Instagram

A local union busting pizza shop was apparently decorated by an anonymous actor on May 1st, international workers day, this year. That same pizza shop is now re-opening after closing their doors, over a year ago, because workers presented them with a union contract vote. We at ruthless believe everyone deserves more direct democracy in the work place and the best way to begin that process is a union. F@$k small business tyrants and down with union busting. We don’t need these types of businesses in HBG. We miss Mercados any ways!!!!
