Democratic councilwoman says the safety measure relied on in low-income neighborhoods hurts shoppers' feelings.

Hurts the shoppers' feeling? More like the armed robbers' feelings.

The people who vote for her want to rob the people who don’t vote for her. She is in favor of this.

There should be a way to hold these clowns legally liable when the bodies start piling up.

They want Trader Joes to open a store there instead of Mr Patel’s 7-11.

We put a store in South Central LA and the shrinkage was so bad, we had to remove it from all performance reports.

My mom’s hometown, when it was a halfway sane place. It’s horrible what it has become.

First time I seen bullet proof glass was on a gas station just off the Dan Ryan in Chicago in what was an all black neighborhood and where the cashier was a large, large black woman.

So if I were a Korean I would hire a black woman and put her up there and then plexiglass would be back in about 10 seconds.

Feelings are more important than reality. And safety. And life. Look how these idiots view terrorism.

There will be increases in robberies and murders at these stores.

The stores will be unable to hire anyone, who is willing to risk his/her life.

The stores will shut down.

Dems will demand that some stores be opened in those neighborhoods, so that the residents have access.

Repeat.....

I believe the goal is to make the stores go away rather than be easier to rob.

There will soon be more murdered clerks and fewer neighborhood shops. A few neighborhood citizens will die in the remaining shops from being shot while pointing guns at un glass protected clerks.

Have they already disarmed the shop keepers too?

Law of unintended consequences. In six months this idiot will be screaming racism because inner-city convenience stores will be closing up shop and disappearing at an alarming rate forcing the inner-city residents to commute distances to grocery stores to purchase convenience items.

I don’t see how this law could hold up in court.

How in the world does getting rid of bullet proof glass at a business stop public urination by bums???

What drugs are these politicians using??

What about banks? Will these businesses close down?

I don’t see how you can remove safety for employees & then tell a business to stay open without any protection.

Why not just put a “free sh*t” section in each store, stocked with cash, Newports, and scratch-offs..

From an earlier story, these are seedy convience stores that sell mostly booze and cigs, and they are operating fraudulently as “restaurants” in order to skirt licensing guidelines. They are simply saying if you are really a restaurant, take down the plexiglass and actually serve food.

When the shops all move out, the idiots will complain about “food deserts” and have food shipped in courtesy of taxpayers. IMO, the plan all along.

Once deserted, a large chain will open the only store in the area and charge everyone 50% more to account for theft. Once again screwing everyone that doesn’t steal...

They should get rid of the cashier and just have folks use the honor system in buying booze. Safer, and since most people are really honest, and good people, nothing could possibly go wrong.
