Cops respond 9 hours after clerk attacked, say 'hire security'

Even the old-timers in Detroit never have seen anything like this: A mob of 40 black people moved into a convenience store and will not leave.
They say they now own it. They eat. Smoke. Cuss.Threaten. Spit. Rob. Sell drugs. All on video.
Police, ministers, neighbors, the store owner and just about everyone else seems powerless to stop them.
Its a Bad Crew gas station, said one of the mob to the local Fox affiliate. If you dont know what that is, I cant even tell you.
The owner calls police, but nothing happens. The police come here and then they leave. Two minutes later they (the mob) are back.
Earlier this month, members of the Perfecting Church, one of Detroits largest black congregations, counseled the members of the mob to stop their evil ways.
Nothing changed. Which is not all that surprising: In June, the churchs pastor, Marvin Winans, lost a $15,000 Rolex, a Louis Vuitton wallet with $200 in it and his 2012 Infiniti QX56 SUV after he was carjacked by a mob of 10 black people at a similar convenience store nearby.
See the Big List of black mob violence.
This is the same pastor who gave the eulogy for Whitney Houston. The attackers, Winans told the Detroit News, did not know who he was.
In June, another Detroit convenience store had the same problem: A black mob took over the store, told the owners they now own it, and started robbing and threatening. All on video.

It will take the marines to fix Detroit. Think Fallujah.
It must be the result of all the white racism.
The guys were saying simply “you didn’t build this”.
More evidence of why there are no stores in black urban areas.

I’m sorry the guy was attacked and robbed, obviously. And it’s his business what he spends his money on. Still, it always seems odd to me when a reverend or minister is so well-heeled. All the men of God I’ve known have been men of modest means.
I recommend the Strategic Air Command. I suspect the Marines would rather deal with angry Afghans.
I know people who could move a bee hive into the store...
Won't remain convenient for long. Food desertification in real time.
If only Marlin Perkins were alive today...
Three out of seven deadly sins right there. Was the carjacking a hint?
It’s because they found an oasis in a food desert, ya know.
Enriched target environment
About the only solution the store owner could have here would be to emulate what gas stations do in bad areas. That is, the cashier is behind bulletproof glass and you do your business through the little window slot at the clerk’s booth.
Of course, that approach works a lot better for a gas station than a convenience store, because of the variety and size of goods a quicky-mart carries. But I figure it’s got to be better than getting “occupied” every day. The police have shown they either can’t or won’t do anything, and hiring security would be a joke. One security guard isn’t going to drive off a local gang of 30+ members.
Now, a few off-duty Detroit PD officers working security might do the trick, especially if they parked in their cruisers out front. But that’s a very expensive solution, if the PD would even allow it. I used to work as a manager in private security. An off-duty will run you $25-35/hour for a cushy assignment. For something like this place - bad area, risks involved, Detroit union rules, etc. - you’d probably be looking at least 50 bucks an hour, or $1200/day to have just one off-duty present at all times. No convenience store can afford that.
Were it me, I’d look to relocate. It’s a no-win situation for the owner.
Nuke the site from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
Why waste good Marines? Just wall the city in, drop a few loads of firearms, and let them sort it out their own way. Everytime LE tries to do anything effective, they get howled down by cries of “profiling!” or “racism!” and have to back off. Or the PD in Detroit is so corrupted that it’s useless. In light of all this, I wouldn’t waste the life of one Marine on them. Let them practice their no-snitch policy and reap the results for themselves.

These men are in “The God Business.” Just like Jesse and Al, and those phony white “pastors” with their mega churches down in Texas!
Make sure it's a hive of African Killer Bees.
Wow. What kind of "Pastor" is that guy? Sounds like "Reverend" Wright.
