Of course, it's not a riot without copious video of masked thieves pouring out of department stores clutching whatever merchandise they could grab.

This is America. This is your country. These are your fellow citizens who share with you all of the attendant rights and responsibilities of living in the greatest country in the world. Think about that. What would you tell them if you were there? pic.twitter.com/WBHfXmauyq

At one point, the rioters stopped to terrorize a Jewish neighborhood.

Philly's national guard mobilized Tuesday in response to the prior night's unrest, and the police department said even more officers were on the streets. Some reported that a U-Haul was driven up to a Wal-Mart in Philly, where it was quickly filled with merchandise.

 I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many contributions of the African American community and their culture to society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, as an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.
