Republican Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano promised to bring law and order back to the city of Philadelphia if elected governor.
In a Tweet, Mastriano referenced a weekend news story where a local convenience store was ransacked by a giant, lawless group of youths in Philadelphia.
“Imagine stopping in to pay for gas or buy a hoagie and encountering this chaos. Lawlessness is out of control in Pennsylvania. When I’m Governor, we’ll restore law and order.”

The filmed aftermath showed destroyed shelving, littered food, and spilled beverages.
Users online pointed out the gleeful nature of the criminals.
Notice how much fun these fine people are having. I don't hear people mention this much. Stealing, looting, rioting – this is a hell of a lot of fun for these folks. It's not desperation, or injustice, hunger. It's the sheer thrill of it all, knowing cops won't intervene. https://t.co/lbi9KYyWSz

IT’S TIME THESE WOKE. LIBERAL DEMORAT JUDGES, START DOING THEIR JOBS, AND SENTENCE CRIMINALS TO JAIL FOR THE MAXIMUM TERM.
IF THESE JUDGES FAIL TO ENFORCE THE LAW, THEY SHOULD ALL BE TERMINATED. THEY ARE USELESS.
THE CRIMINALS HAVE TAKEN OVER AMERICA, AND IT MUST BE STOPPED NOW.
