(It's probably another gas station, but you get the idea)

A Detroit man says his business is being held hostage by a group of teenagers who continually loiter inside and out of his gas station.
"There's a lot of good people around here," said the station owner, who wished to remain anonymous. But now, those good people aren't coming as often to the Marathon station along W. 7 Mile Road on the city's west side.
"This is a Bad Crew gas station," said one teen loitering out front on Tuesday. When asked what that meant, he said, "If you don't know, I can't even tell you."
Surveillance video obtained by FOX 2 shows as many as a dozen teens hanging out inside the store, smoking cigarettes, sitting on countertops and even spitting into sinks.
The owner says as many as 40 teens can be hanging out in front of the station at any time. "Destroying my store. Destroying my business," said the owner.

Set a honey trap.
Take a van load of those captured and take them north of Toronto about 250 miles and release them
Try playing Mozart concerts loud on outside speakers....
yep.
It would be racist to stop it.
I'd rather see taxes go for that then the other "hood rat programs" they go for.
Taxpayers pay taxes yet reap none of the benefits the taxes are supposed to provide, like protection from hood rats!.
Yeah...a compilation of the Obama nose whistle.
I didn’t even have to look at the video. I just ‘knew’.

Play Gilbert & Sullivan hits over the PA, both inside and out. I’m sure those Amish yutes would appreciate some classic show tunes.
Shoot a couple of the little bastards and I guarantee the problem will cease.
Why? there are tons of ON DUTY ones that should be keeping these trespassers out that he has already paid for.
The video confirms what we all knew when we saw the word “teen.”
How about a Hello Kitty decorative theme?
TeleTubbies on the tv?
Baby powder scent?
Lock the door and do service through a window, unless you are a Member.
Call the cops and kick them off the property.
There is loyalty in these packs.. Shoot one, the rest will shoot you. Bad idea.
Kill um all and let god sort it out or it’s best to keep your powder dry.
The paid for police department and the school (if during school days/hours) should be taking care of this problem for him.
Amish? Old Order Mennonites? Hutterites?
Get a dog.
Not every station owner can add $100k in overhead and have any profit left.
Unless the police take care of this or this gang gets thinned considerably, this man is out of business.
Not exactly, the gang will just move. I want the cops to focus directly on the gang and go where they go, thus every business and all who frequent them are protected (as much as can be the case).
In a free society, no one should have to hire protection to run a gas station on the public square.
The Democrats tell us they are the party of science and sophistication, I’m sure some conservatives still believe that, why I don’t know.
