Peaceful protests in Philadelphia turned into riots after police sprayed gas at protesters yesterday, Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Things have been heated throughout the city, though they were moments of harmony during Monday's protests. The Mayor of the city described it as "one of the biggest crises in the city’s history."
However, Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Gale completely diminished the work of the Black Lives Matter movement by labeling them a"left-wing hate group" in an open letter shared to social media pages on Tuesday morning.
"What we saw this weekend in Philadelphia was not a protest - it was a riot. In fact, nearly every major across the nation was ravaged by looting, violence, and arson," he said. "The perpetrators of this urban domestic terror are radical left-wing hate groups like Black Lives Matter, This organization, in particular, screams racism not to expose bigotry and injustice, but to justify the lawless destruction of our cities and surrounding communities."
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris called out Gale immediately. "This statement and your whole press release at that is disgusting to read. RESIGN" Harris wrote.
Meek Mill quoted Harris' tweet, writing, "True colors... welcome to PA!"
Along with the open letter, Harris shared a petition to sign demanding for Joe Gale's resignation.
Sixers’ Rookie Put On Blast For Botching The Popeyes Order: Watch
"The man got six biscuits for 20 people."
Philadelphia 76ers' rookie Matisse Thybulle learned a valuable lesson today as the team took off for their two-game road trip - don't forget the biscuits when you're picking up the team order. Thybulle was apparently in charge of keeping the vets fed on their flight to Dallas, but judging from Tobias Harris' IG story he botched the order.
For one, veteran forward Kyle O'Quinn wasn't happy that the rook only picked up six Popeyes biscuits for 20 people. And although Thybulle claims nobody even told him to get biscuits in the first place, that excuse certainly wasn't going to fly. Lesson learned: always order extra biscuits on top of the extra biscuits that you just ordered.
Additionally, Thybulle forgot to pickup the fries from Popeyes so the fellas had to settle for Chick-Fil-A. Check out the disappointment in the video embedded below.
Thybulle recently missed multiple weeks with a knee injury but he returned to action on Thursday night as the Sixers' picked up a 109-98 victory over the Boston Celtics. Though Tobias Harris was giving the 22-year old forward a hard time about the Popeyes & Chick-Fil-A orders, he clearly has taken a liking to the kid.
"I always want him to stay locked in and still present yourself as if you're playing,” Harris said on Wednesday, according to NBC Sports, “get to the arena the same time if you were going to be playing, stay in your routine. I think routine is big over the course of the season and not getting out of that. I am always throwing the iPad to him with the personnel in there and quizzing him a little bit after, so just making sure his mind is locked into each and every game, so when he comes back it's second nature and the same thing and he can walk right back into it."
Up next for the Sixers is a Saturday night matchup against the Mavericks in Dallas, followed by a trip to Indiana. We'll keep you posted if Thybulle screws up the Whataburger order.
