Thanks for posting this article.
Funny, they (she liberal democrat racist socialist) condemns the “attractive nuisance” of the convenience store capitalists behind barriers against illegal assault, but WILL DEMAND government attractions like welfare and tax credits and shelter for illegal aliens.
“As I’ve said, my office is open to working with businesses to help address any safety concerns”
Oh, I get it. It’s a shake down.
I doubt it. A more likely result is that existing stores will simply close up shop and the owners go elsewhere. The ghetto areas will then be even worse off.
Sure, just as soon as government officials stop hiding behind their security guards and bullet proof glass.

>>>I doubt it. A more likely result is that existing stores will simply close up shop and the owners go elsewhere. The ghetto areas will then be even worse off.
You’re right about the result, if the bill passes. It will be too dangerous to operate a store in the Philly ghetto areas without the protection of a bullet-proof barrier, and the owners will leave.
Stupid law. For selling liquor and cigarettes we deem them worthy of the death penalty. Where do they find such stupid leaders?
It is impossible now to read a report like this and not conclude it must be satire. Sadly, it does not appear to be the case. So, what is to be made of today’s loony people. I read another account where feminists had to stop producing a satire publication because feminists’ everyday behavior had subsumed the publication’s satire creating abilities.
I think that's the point; cut down on the number of liquor stores in the bad neighborhoods.
Well, if this is the issue, isn't that what they have the police for? If those actions are illegal (and, from her description, most .. if not all .. of them are), sweep the streets with police.
What does bullet-resistant glass/plexiglass have to do with illegal activities outside of the business?
He is correct. The black city council in Los Angeles did the same thing in the 80s and 90s. It contributed to the King riots. The rooftop Koreans prevented more of their stores from being looted and burned after the LAPD deserted them.
Because the government knows how to take care of our health better than we do, the government has taken responsibility for health care away from us.
Then, because it costs the government more to care for people who smoke, the government has raised the price of a pack of cigarettes to the point that many smokers are challenged to buy a full pack of cigarettes at a time.
Then, in order to stop people from buying just a single cigarette, a "loosie", the government has outlawed such sales.
Then, because the people dared to ignore such laws and flagrantly sell individual cigarettes outside of convenience stores, the government now wished to impose draconian measures against such stores in order to put them out of business.
Did I miss anything here?
I am reminded of a phrase from the Declaration of Independence which speaks of a "long train of abuses". How is this sequence not such a "long train"?
In response to such abuses by THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT, our Founders declared independence from such tyranny, knowing full well that the government response would eventually be to disarm them and then kill them until they obeyed.
Can somebody explain to me what is different now?
Same here. I place these hand-wringers in the same category as those who carp about blog pimps or are members of the Grammar Police. They try to show off their "purity" and just maintain their status as PITAs.
This madness is now law in Philadelphia:
It is time for the store-owners to pack up and leave—while they can do so in one piece.
