Mayor Kenney today decided to give a free pass to 756 people arrested during the George Floyd protests for code violations such as disorderly conduct, violating curfew, and failure to disperse.
"My decision to waive the violations is not a statement on the validity of the individual citations," the mayor said in a press release.
"Rather it is a recognition of the core concerns that caused thousands to demonstrate on the streets of Philadelphia," Kenney stated. "In waiving these notices, I recognize that those issues are vitally important, that the pain of those marching is very real, and that the message -- Black lives matter -- needs to be heard every day until systemic racism is fully eradicated from the city and nation."
Noble sentiments, Mr. Woke Mayor; even though you're a guilty white liberal, we know you're down with the struggle. But Kenney's generosity -- and endless pandering to the Black Lives Matter mob -- may end up costing the city big time.
