Philadelphia DA Krasner held in contempt: His ‘resistance is telling’
"Criminal Injustice" author Rafael Mangual reacts to Pennsylvania’s state legislature probing into Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's policies and discusses rising crime in soft-on-crime cities.
Dozens of people entered a Wawa convenience store in Philadelphia and began ransacking the place on Saturday.
Footage shows people throwing food and standing on furniture as employees are helpless to stop the chaos. The aftermath saw trash and products littering the store's floor as throngs of people milled about outside.
The Philadelphia Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that officers are investigating the incident.
The video is only the most recent example of a string of smash-and-grab style crimes, which see organized groups stealing goods from stores with near impunity.

Employees of one California jewelry store fought off attempted robbers earlier this year. Sarah Baca and Dallas Baca were inside their parents' store, Princess Bride Diamonds, when at least four hooded robbers broke in.

"I'd rather get the snot kicked out of me at least trying my best than to just sit in the back and cower if people walk in," Dallas Baca said. "But we're definitely taking this as a little bit of a wake-up call, just going to up our security and everything in the store."
