The City of Brotherly Love descended into chaos on Tuesday when a mob decided to take what they wanted. The rioters took to the streets looting and ransacking dozens of retail stores, with at least 18 state-run liquor stores at the top of the list. The criminals also hit Foot Locker, Lululemon, and Apple in search of the proverbial loaf of bread.
Dayja Blackwell, a.k.a “Meatball,” became the face of the entitlement parade, laughing, cheering, and celebrating while live-streaming the impromptu thievery that had to require organizing — perhaps the FBI can take a break from arresting grandmothers touring the U.S. Capitol to learn more here.
“Everybody must eat! Free iPhones! Free iPhones!” she screamed repeatedly as looters sacked an Apple store.
The shameless social media influencer was arrested and hit with six felony charges, including “Burglary, Criminal Trespassing, Conspiracy, Criminal Mischief, Riot with the intent to commit a felony and Criminal use of a Communication Facility,” according to The New York Post.
Her tear-stained mugshot was all the rage and after spending “hours” in a holding cell, Meatball now claims she was “traumatized” by the rare display of consequences for one’s actions in a Democrat-run city. Oh, and now she needs YOUR help.
Playing the victim role — a given — Meatball needs a lawyer AND to help soothe her tortured spirit she needs to get her toes done.
Meatball (Dayjia Blackwell) says she’s an “innocent person” even though she was caught on her own video looting and rioting.
She may be right given how Philly DAs go easy on criminals.
Don’t be shocked if in 6 months the charges against her are dropped.pic.twitter.com/c5KLimN3Tf

“I’m traumatized, I would never go back in my life,” she said in a video posted on Instagram. “They’re trying to make somebody I wasn’t. They really did me dirty because of who I was. That was corny, that was corny.”
Meatball shared her Cash App handle so followers can send “welcome home” cash gifts. She also wants the charges “expunged” from her record — a request that’s not out of the question given Philadelphia’s track record in coddling criminals.
“I’m a good person. I’m a businesswoman. I don’t like it,” she said in the video. “I didn’t know this s–t would go this far.”
Insisting she is not a “trouble person,” Meatball said she was “overwhelmed” and “stressed the f–k out” over her legal problems brought on by her arrest.
“I’m young, I don’t know what’s going on,” she said. “I’m a comedian, this is what I do… This s–t is gonna reflect on my life.”
It’s almost comical.
