That's in the center of Philly, by where the homeless folks and major businesses/government offices are. Major amounts of traffic come through Logan Circle all day and night.
Also the area is loaded with HD security cams pointed everywhere for blocks (Even Earthcam has one pointed in the area - https://earthcam.com/usa/pennsylvania/philadelphia/?cam=philly) FBI no question will get involved and I have no doubt they will find the SOB's

Black Lives Matter Goons TORCH Vietnam Baptist Church After Philly Cops Shoot Violent Repeat Felon with a Knife -- Because Racism or Something

The building of Vietnam Baptist Church in Philadelphia was burned Tuesday night (Oct. 27) during the second night of unrest in the city after the police shooting of a Black man Monday (Oct. 26).
Advertisement - story continues below
Pastor Philip Pham received a call Tuesday night from a church member whose friend had seen the flames and seven fire trucks surrounding the church.
“I have no idea why they attacked our church,” Pham said. “They burned it from the roof. They threw flammable chemicals on the roof and [flames] burned through the roof” and down through the rest of the building. He said the facility is a “total loss.”
Of primary concern to Pham were three hard drives. Since before purchasing the building in 2005, Vietnam Baptist Church has served as something of a community center each weekday, providing help with immigration paperwork, taxes and even marriage counseling.
Walter Wallace, Jr. was a repeat felon and woman abuser.

Mzkitty, Portland's police chief, the one we got from Oakland, California, ie the APTLY named Chief Outlaw, yes seriously, went to Philli, where she is repeating her dismal performance from Portland. I figure by election day chief Outlaw should have Philli burnt to the ground. What we got here, ya all is a failure in both communication and leadership. :hof:

It is not a dismal performance, she is doing a brilliant job destroying the police departments everywhere she has been assigned errr uhhh hired.

What the ....?? Truck with explosives discovered at Logan Circle / Ben Franklin Parkway in Center City Philadelphia.
HOW did they find it?

High speed sniffers?

Tip off?

Profiling?

I know...random traffic stop.

This reminded me of a certain sheltered thread saying ANITFA has only been using their JV/3rd string players and tactics for social unrest.

Maybe they've been holding back their wargames…the ones they trained for in Syria.

Philly City Council Strips Cops Of Rubber Bullets, Tear Gas After Dozens Wounded In Street Violence

Philadelphia City Council approved legislation, 14-3 vote, that prohibits law enforcement officers from using "less-lethal munitions," such as rubber bullets, tear gas, and pepper spray on demonstrators.

The vote comes days after social unrest was sparked in the City of Brotherly Love - over the police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr., and days before the Nov. 03 presidential elections. The legislation is expected to be signed momentarily by Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney, who is trying to appease local constituents/demonstrators.

Councilmember Helen Gym, the bill's prime sponsor, said, "in banning the police use of less-lethal munitions in response to demonstrations, we are answering the calls of our constituents."

Gym continued: "This is a moment where repairing trust between our residents, public officials, and police are essential. Residential neighborhoods are not warzones. Demonstrators are not enemy combatants. This is a first step in working with our communities to build a new model for public safety that is driven by their needs and their vision for the future."

While most councilmembers support the bill, three councilmembers, including Republican Councilmembers David Oh and Brian J. O'Neill, along with Democrat Bobby Henon, voted against it. Their opposition stemmed from what they said would be the "chilling effects" of police officers not having the right tools to enforce public safety.

Philadelphia Mayor's Office released an update Thursday of the overall situation in the metro area. At least 11 ATMs were blown up across town, 57 police officers injured, and over 212 felony or misdemeanors arrests.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf was quick to deploy the Pennsylvania National Guard on Tuesday with mandatory curfews on Wednesday.

Readers may recall, other Democratic cities banned "less-than-lethal" weapons earlier this year, following the George Floyd protests.

Seattle City Council voted unanimously to ban police from chokeholds, tear gas, pepper spray, and other crowd-control weapons in June.

This is another example of pandering urban Democrats, placing their political interest above police officers' health and safety and the community they are supposed to be protecting.

Also, suppose officers, barred from carrying "less-lethal munitions," what happens when they're forced into a situation where they have no alternative in firing their service weapon?

Those are just large firecrackers. Paper tubes with glued in ends and short fuses. They sell kits to make them on Amazon.
