>> “It looks like she wants to make these shops easier to rob.” <<
Surely you can’t be the only person reading this story that sees this very clear fact.
Who doesn’t see it?
Why aren’t the good people of Philly (both of them) at the doors of city hall with battering rams and shotguns?
.
“If the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania needed an enema they would stick the tube in Filthadelphia—and out would come New Jersey.”
So what happens if NJ puts the tube in Newark?
What an idiot. She wants people to suffer equally, just to make it fair. Cindy, have you ordered your Burka online yet?
They’re having a sale on the extra large black ones with that little screen in front of the eyes. “Dis-satisfaction with Life Guaranteed, or your money back!”
I do not see any ability nor any grant of authority of the enacting body to enforce such a law.
Amazing ... the story doesn’t say ‘black community’ ... and sadly it doesn’t have to... we’ve all figured it out.
I would make this prediction...if this bill passes, then you will see a 30-percent reduction in shops over the next two years. I’ll also predict that the shops that do survive...will have an armed guard in the interior with a shotgun.
It’s just asking for trouble, but they seem to be that stupid.
Loretta Lynch in the making.
She has the head tilt and the ‘tude’ down pat.
So what happens if NJ puts the tube in Newark?
A Bronx cheer?
BWHAAAAA!
I honestly think these politicians want to see the shootings increased. A bunch of dead black constituents is a small price to them in order to get push more control laws and ramp up the black voter base. Sadly, a vast majority of blacks fall for this nonsense.
And to pay for armed security and the insurance that goes with it, the cost of goods will do what?
There’s no love lost between Koreans and their customers. It’s baffling. The Treyvons and Michael Browns have a lobby?
At least she could provide some bogus rationale, say: “Ricochets from the bulletproof glass could hurt an innocent youth buying nourishing whole milk for himself and multivitamins for his brave single Moms/grandmoms.”
She’s not even trying, just phoning it in. Yeah it’s a quandary. She should withdraw this harebrained ordinance and slink away.
Remove the glass to kill the owners? How will this improve these inner city cesspools?
Councilwoman Bass holds sit-ins at stop-and-go stores
June 23, 2017

Councilwoman Cindy Bass walked into Kenny’s Seafood & Steaks, a small army of people behind her, wearing matching “Fit 30” T-shirts.
Without explanation, the group began setting up folding tables and chairs in the cramped stop-and-go at 4931 Wayne Ave., where neither steak nor seafood is on the menu.
Stop-and-go stores — small convenience stores, delis, or gas stations with liquor licenses — often operate outside of the law, which requires that they sell food and have enough tables and chairs for at least 30 people. Bass’ “Fit 30” campaign, which she launched Friday, aims to expose establishments that are breaking that law, in an attempt to get liquor licenses revoked or force businesses to change their ways.
Owner Jeff Liu watched, confused, from behind his counter, shielded by a plastic partition, as the group entered his store. Behind him, floor-to-ceiling coolers held hundreds of $2.50 beers, a colorful array of malt liquors, and wine coolers. Display shelves were loaded with dice, lighters, cigarette cartons, candy, and pain medication.
“Do you have a menu? Do you sell food?” Bass asked Liu.
Complaints about the stores run the gamut — they attract crime, sell to minors, prey on vulnerable populations, and, in the case of those selling candy and snacks, expose kids to alcohol at a young age.
“When at 9 o’clock there are at least five people outside of a stop-and-go drinking, that’s a problem,” said Daphne Goggins, 54, a Republican ward leader in Northeast Philadelphia, who joined Bass on the tour.
“Our children walk to school and they’re seeing this on a daily basis, people out early in the morning drinking,” Goggins said. “They come home from school and those same people are there drinking. It’s a disease, and we need to address that, but this is teaching our children that it’s normal.”
city code requires businesses selling malt liquor or beer to have tables and chairs sufficient to accommodate 30 people and to regularly prepare and sell food. The law also requires that consumption be allowed on premises, though many stop-and-go owners discourage loitering inside or intentionally forgo chairs so large crowds won’t gather.
Bass said she had reached out several times to the state Liquor Control Board. She wants to see the oversight board crack down on enforcing the laws on the books and take a more discerning approach to granting licenses.
The LCB did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Cindy Bass’s HIGH TAXES are the “source of trouble” in her town. Do not blame it on plastic.
Cindy is dangerous.
Can you imagine walking into one of those Korean corner-shops to buy a Pepsi and a Butterfingers...paying $6...just because they need a full-time shotgun guard around the clock? A six-pack of beer would be over $15.
Heh heh heh.
That would require politicians to exhibit an understanding of the kind of code unlike that which they are used to

Nice thought though.
Apparently something supposedly about liquor licenses for restaurants which are supposed to serve alcohol incidental to meals being used instead for high volume beer and wine sales.
