now THAT is thinking outside the box... or inside if it's a box Dunkin Doughnuts

I remember reading about a gas station that did just that with classical music.
This is one of those times when community matters! If the community had any respect for itself they would come to the store and run off these criminal thugs!
I wouldn’t want them to miss out on the rest of the greatest hits of the Village People which are equally grating.
“In The Navy”. “Macho Man”. “Go West”.
In keeping with the screechingly ghey theme, I would throw in “Relax”, by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, “You Spin Me Round” by UK group Dead or Alive, “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls, “Dancing Queen” by ABBA, “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross, “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, “Supermodel” by RuPaul, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham, and the full length, 15+ minute “Love To Love You, Baby” by Donna Summer.
The downside might be that it would no longer be considered a gang gas station, but a ghey gas station.
GTFO.. No seriously. If that area has gone that bad. GTFO and move!
I did. My area was getting bad. 3 stabbings and countless armed robberies in a 5 mile radius around the house. Sold it for a loss and moved.
Where I moved the police never visit. They don’t have a reason to.
You better out gun them. I bet everyone of them has at least one gun on them.
Anyone on foot is trespassing. Have them arrested -- as many of them -- and as many times -- as needed.
And stay WELL-armed (and visibly so)...
And that rent-a-cop is not a bad idea.
...nor is having your motorcycle gang buddies buzz through the site frequently...
Offer free doughnuts to cops..
You’ll have a new problem with people hanging around but it’ll be the safest gas station in town!
Offer gas price discounts to "motorcycle clubs"??
Ask the local "godfather" if he'd like some counter space to transact a little discrete "retail" business inside, out of the weather. Tell him you can provide 24/7, drive through "supply chain" service if he could arrange security. Ramp up your fire insurance coverage, just in case.

If you're suggesting a solution to the problem this article is addressing then you're wasting your time. The Detroit police will not respond to any complaint that station owner might call in unless someone was killed.......
You watch too many movies. There are no " Godfathers" left in Detroit, only punk gangstahs..........

I’m stuck for now. Sure, I will lose money if I sell. I’m resigned to that. But I can’t afford a decent place elsewhere. If I hang on to age 65, I may be able to get into a senior community. A few places take the disabled, but my income is just over the limit. At 65, I will have more choices.
blast them with classical music. They will leave.
Or airdrop job applications...
What part of ...up to 40 [hoods] did you not understand?
music calms the savage beast.
elevator music calms the savage teen.
Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
The future? Much of 7 mile in Detroit has been this as long as I can remember.
The station owner needs a 12 gauge and a couple of pit bulls.

If Obama had a son..... oh, am I too late ?
