Yea, I’m done with Rivals for a while. My normal hiatus starts around this time, but the bullshit from the mods, and no offense but the right wing cirlcle jerk, and the treatment of Lights is too much to take at this point of my message board life, especially with no football to discuss. The trolls that have been free to run roughshod is absurd.
The city is certainly volatile. There’s been peaceful protests, but only one really that turned ugly with the police the other day, but the rioting and looting has been amped up at night. But mainly confined to local neighborhoods and ATMs.
There was some tension in Fishtown the last couple of nights between protesters and the white trash locals of the hood but cooler heads prevailed.
The Historical Sites never really get fucked with because they’re pretty well protected and they tend to keep the crowd in Center City vs Old City.
I’m guessing things will calm down the next couple of days as severe weather has hit the area.
All in all, I’d put it 3rd behind the Riots of 64 and when the Birds won the Bowl as far as chaos in the city.
