Residents of Philadelphia, in case you haven't noticed, your mayor, Jim Kenney, has one set of increasingly onerous rules for law-abiding citizens, especially if they're in South Philadelphia.
And Kenney has another set of rules for the so-called "peaceful protesters" who are illegally occupying the formerly scenic Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
In anticipation of the Eagles' home opener, Killjoy Kenney has announced that the city is banning tailgating parties at and around the Linc. To accomplish that goal, Kenney will close a half-dozen streets around the stadium, where fans are barred from attending the game against the Rams, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
But up on the formerly scenic Parkway, for the past four months, Kenney has allowed an army of left-wing anarchists to illegally occupy public property, including the Von Colln Field, the grounds of the Rodin Museum, and the Azalea Garden adjacent to the Art Museum with an illegal and unsanitary Tent City.
And now, in the latest outrage, Kenney has allowed the increasingly emboldened Tent City anarchists to illegally block 22nd Street by erecting two homemade barricades of wooden pallets to clog the four-lane thoroughfare, a bus route, to all traffic. To add insult to injury, one of the blockades prominently features a sign that accurately labels Kenney as a coward.
