Philadelphia, PA - Philadelphia councilwoman Cindy Bass has introduced a controversial bill that would require business owners to take down any bulletproof glass they have in their businesses, and not allow future installation.
The bill, known as the Stop and Go bill, is moving through city hall, and reads "No establishment shall erect or maintain a physical barrier."
Broad Deli is a local business on the corner of the 2200 block of North Broad. It has a wall of bulletproof glass separating its employees from customers.
"The most important thing is safety and the public's safety," Rich Kim, the owner of Broad Deli, told WTXF. His family has run the deli, which sells soda, snacks, meals, and beer by the can, for 20 years.
Kim said that he had the bulletproof glass installed after a shooting, and that it saved his mother-in-law from a knife attack.
"If the glass comes down, the crime rate will rise and there will be lots of dead bodies," he said

Philly is quickly turning into a war zone. Now this idiot wants to help the “teens” rob places easier? Mayor Kenny made it a sanctuary city, and it has been downhill ever since.
ARFEA, the armed robber full employment act.
I think I remember the place, I about got shot in their parking lot.
"....ya can't fix stupid"
And the insurance companies!
“The most important thing is safety and the public’s safety,”
but... but... The democrat Voter needs room to destroy. The Mayor of Baltimore.
I think you're right. Looking into it, it appears that these businesses skirt various zoning and licensing laws by operating in a gray area where they're not really a bar, but not really a restaurant either. They are primarily in the business of selling cheap 40 oz. cans of high-alcohol malt liquor to black men and she's trying to drive them out.
LMAO ..... Cindy “Dum B”ass .....
Swordmaker has a great new tag line using the same logic !
“””Swordmaker (My pistol self-identifies as an iPad, so you must accept it in gun-free zones, you racist, bigot!)”””
If it passes, refuse /do not comply and make them cite you. How can such a stupid law, having no purpose than to interfere with the free and lawful action of persons seeking to protect themselves. I would think such a stupid ordnance would be criticized thoroughly by any counsel going forward, but then I don’t think like city folks in general and certainly not leftist/statist folks in particular.
If street thug A wants to raid business B and proprietor C decides to install clerk-operated electrified gratings on the floors, then I support him.
So this “Philly Lawmaker” doesn’t lock her door or windows, right?
And just the act of installing a bullet-proof barrier can cause the gang banger and other criminals to suffer undo psychological damage.
It sends out signals of suspicion and distrust of them and creates doubt and insecurity.

They are, but the dead vote overrides it.
Well, if there is not more to it, if they pass that law, it would outlaw, doors, regular windows and even walls.
Now, personally, I think she just wants to make it easier for her cousins 'to do what they do'.
NOBODY can be that stupid!!!!
If your neighborhood has bulletproof glass and window bars, perhaps pondering better pastures is not far off.
“... her constituents shouldn’t have to suffer the indignity of shopping through bulletproof glass.”
And airline passengers shouldn’t have to suffer the indignities of the TSA either, right?
Bullet proof glass in front of the counter, you ordered through a speaker, and they had a clear cylinder where they rotated your food out to you.
This KFC was run by, staffed, and patronized by 99% BLACK people.
The only white person was me.
I ate my food and got the hell out of there.
Not sure if Greenmount has been gentrified nowadays, but it was very ghetto back then.
The bulletproof glass was there to protect the black workers from black criminals.
This "lady" is bat$hit crazy.
