Dozens of feral teens caught on camera trashing Jamaican restaurant in Philly

Video shows the chaotic moments a large group of teens force themselves into a Philadelphia restaurant, only to begin ransacking the place.

The ordeal happened Saturday night at the Zion Cuisine restaurant in Germantown and involved some 15 to 20 youths, the restaurant’s owner told NBC10.

The group flipped tables and tossed chairs at the plexiglass security barriers. At one point, someone even threw a bicycle into the restaurant. Somehow, no one was injured.

“They destroyed the glass, they broke my chairs, they messed up my refrigerator. It might be little stuff, but it costs a lot,” the eatery’s owner, who did not with to be identified, said.

The incident happened despite Philadelphia imposing a modified summer curfew last month specifically aimed at keeping minors safe and away from crime.

The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating and hopes the public can recognize some of the youths in the video. In the meantime, the restaurant’s owner is afraid of going back to work in a neighborhood that she said is becoming more and more dangerous.

“We have done nothing to nobody except open a restaurant trying to make a living, as well as trying to provide a service. Nobody’s expecting that they’re going into business to get their place trashed,” she said.

They're saying it's a "culture" problem in the comments.

You have to start hitting these kids parents pockets. For every crime those kids commit their parents need to be fined at least 1,000 or more. Considering there’s a strong chance these kids are lower income that penalty would carry more weight than a jail sentence that ends up costing the citizens more.

There’s plenty of things for them to do. They just don’t want to do it.

Not saying you’re wrong, but kids who act like this already generally tend to have nothing. Which is why they can’t empathize in the first place.

We really need programs to keep these kids busy in the summer. Let’s put money into these communities so that they have safe spaces to congregate.

Again, not saying i’m not down to fine the fukk outta parents. But I hope the money goes to something productive instead of lining the pockets of the local government.

They just going to have shootouts at the skating rink. They shut our shyt down because every weekend it was robberies and shootings. After a certain age there is no recreational shyt you can do except hope they make it to be old enough to finally work full time or goto college/trade school.
