Mob of burglars targeted several high-end stores throughout DC overnight. MPD has made 5 arrests, but we are hearing as many as 60 people might\u2019ve been involved. At the Gucci store at City Center, doors have been damaged and merchandise was ripped off security devices. @7NewsDC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/xdA75g6UOx<\/a><\/p>\n

WaPo explained, “The police statement did not specify a reason for the disorderly incidents. However, they came hours after police released body-camera video of the incident this month in which officers fatally shot a violence interrupter<\/strong>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right, because the first response is to loot a\u00a0Gucci store.<\/p>\n

Here’s what X users are saying about the incident:<\/p>\n

I hope this is not preliminary results of the massive illegal immigrants of recent!<\/p>\n

Mobs are allowed by the Democrat Party because they are desired chaos.<\/p>\n

This was only made possible by Biden-Harris’ ‘new way forward’ of so-called change, quickly spiraling the nation into chaos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
