BlazeTV reporter Elijah Schaffer was attacked Tuesday night inside a Philadelphia store while filming ongoing looting in the wake of the police shooting of Walter Wallace Jr., who was killed after allegedly charging at officers while holding a knife on Monday.

What are the details?

The Daily Caller reporter Shelby Talcott, also reporting from Philadelphia, tweeted Tuesday night, “Mass looting across the river and @ElijahSchaffer just got beaten up for filming. This is inside the Five Below store. Police are in the same parking lot near the Walmart, but there seem to be too many looters.”

Talcott posted footage showing her walking inside the store and seeing Schaffer, who was wearing a white patterned bandana, being approached by alleged looters amid calls for him to “Stop recording!” Schaffer was seen on the video being surrounded by several people who threw punches.

Schaffer explained in a video posted on his own Twitter feed that he “was jumped by BLM rioters while they were looting more than a dozen stores, including Wal-Matt, T-Mobile, & 5-below.”

He continued, “Though in pain, I didn’t stop reporting because Americans need to see what the corporate media refuses to show.”

Schaffer then shared the footage he took leading up to when he was attacked. In the tweet accompanying the video, he wrote, “PHILADELPHIA: This is the footage I was recording when BLM assaulted me. Other journalists were filming but I was the only white person in the store I do believe I was targeted for being white as they accused me of being a white supremacist & did not attack people of color.”

What’s the background?

After the police shooting of 27-year-old Wallace went viral, Philadelphia erupted in violent protests and looting caught on social media that evening. More than 90 people were arrested and 30 officers were hurt in the rioting on Monday. The rioting started up again Tuesday with more protests and looting across the city.

    1. That is what needs to be done. Anyone who starts robbing stores and starting these businesses on fire absolutely deserve to be gunned down like the walking talking turds they have become. There is no excuse on earth to treat these animals like anything other then the vermin they have become. If this country wasn’t run by a bunch of wimpy panty wastes, this should have already been done. Any one in their right mind should agree to start just shooting these sick animals down like rabid dogs. They are the lowest form of life on earth. No more wimpy excuses for letting things like this take place. What is it going to take before people realize it’s absolutely the thing that MUST BE DONE. I’m so sick of reading about these animals getting away with this crap. It is time to take control of these sick animals and wipe them off the face of the earth.

      1. ABSOLUTELY! Enough is enough! Elijah I hope you recover well. We love your reports. These looters are brats who have NOT been brought up correctly. I would love to see some of the parents hauled in front of TV to answer to questions on how they raised these pieces of scum. Really let ’em have it, embarrass the hell out of them in front of their neighbours and friends!

        1. No, what I think they would understand is getting shot. Drop a few of them and the rest will get the message real quick. It would be a real simple thing for state legislatures to pass laws stating businesses will not be held liable for any actions necessary to stop rioting and looting and destruction of their property.

  1. I agree with all theses comments. I think that the BLM is just another way to justify racism from the other side and further more how does steeling and vandalism help that cause? Between BLM and Antifa and the way our governments been acting in regards to COVID-19 and all that well all I can say is this country is going to shit!!! It’s time we make big changes in our government and states as well as cities with who we have in charge of dealing with the thugs that have been in-powered by the lack of response to this violence. It’s time to take off the gloves and take up arms to deal with theses thugs. We need to put them down like we would rabid animal to prove to the spread of disease 🦠 these people are not protesting against anything they are terrorists allowed to run the streets of America. All true Americans that want to make this country great again should start actively seeking justice against these violent groups and put them in the ground just like racism and fascists. It seems to me that now the tables have turned and the hate crimes and racism is against white people but I don’t really care who it’s against, if you act or are involved in any act of racism against a person period it don’t matter what their skin color is or what nationality they are you should be shot and if you want to destroy our country act like thugs and violently protest you should be shot. If you don’t agree with this then you should probably shoot yourself because your part of the problem!! WE ALL ARE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND WE ARE ALL EQUAL!
