Rumors that ICE is going to be deployed in Philly:

[PCIntern]

This guy tells it EXACTLY how it will go. To paraphrase one sentence from his diatribe, “We riot when we WIN championships.” When I was practicing in Philly, one of my patients who belonged to the roofers union asked me seriously one time on a Friday if there’s anybody I wanted to have beaten up because he and his buddies had nothing else to do that weekend. Rough town.

1. They booed Santa Claus at a football game

2. That's a whole story:

I will summarize it here: the Santa Claus, who was supposed to show up for the Eagles game did not arrive. There was a guy in the stands who was drunk as hell, and they convinced him to come down onto the field, where he started acting out like a lunatic. The fans realized that and did what they did.

That was at Franklin Field I believe in 1964, which is 62 years ago.

3. I've known Philly guys

That carried around more than one bullet they never had removed.

They are definitely barking up the wrong tree.

4. Patriot Front tried to march through Philadelphia a few years back and got their asses kicked.

I can’t wait til they try Detroit too.

5. That had to be entertaining

8. Devils night will return

With a focus on ICE instead of vacant homes

10. Then they'd have to burn hotels, if hotels still let ICE have rooms. Otherwise they live in offices or detention centers

6. Philly don't play

7. Did you tell the roofers to go after the Gropenfuhrer?

9. I went to college in West Philadelphia

If stepped on, Philly does not play nice. There are guns everywhere, and plenty of their owners are not afraid to use them. I was there 50 years ago, but back then, the place was corrupt as could be, right up to its Mafia mayor (Rizzo), with many gangs ruling their turf with an iron fist. A group of 20 ICE thugs could easily find themselves quickly surrounded by an armed gang of twice as many who will not hesitate to open fire if the ICE goons do not depart instantly, leaving their weapons and radios behind, “or else.”

I’ve never been to Minnesota, but I’ve heard the phrase “Minnesota nice.” To use Tina Turner’s classic comparison, where Minneapolis may be nice, Philly can be nice and rough. They’d be better off attacking Des Moines, or some such place.

11. ICE is cowardly if nothing else. They choose places where they don't expect pushback.

They have never once gone into a crime zone.

12. Except for Center City

ALL of Philadelphia is a crime zone (or was when I lived there).
