Philadelphia gas station owner Neil Patel hired security guards with AR-15s to deal with all the “nonsense, drug trafficking, hanging around, [and] gangs” endangering his employees.

Patel, who has a Karco gas station, hired “Pennsylvania S.I.T.E Agents clad with Kevlar vest and AR-15s or shotguns” to keep his employees safe, FOX 29 reports.

Deduct the cost of security from any remittances you need to make to the City of Philadelphia.

The place to buy gas, hot dogs, beer, soda, candy, coffee, and such. Maybe Wawa will do the same.

Be sure to scroll down from the video and Freep this poll.

Was 65% for the armed guards at the beginning of the report, 80% by the end.

"Reporter" obviously saddened by their poll results.

“Not flame throwers?” Probably a bad idea at a gas station.

The name “Patel” makes me think of what Brandon said about going to a 7-11.

Isn’t this what third world countries look like?

Well. You get what you vote for Patel.

If elections of 2020 and 2022 taught us anything, its that in one-party controlled States like California, and particularly in swing states like PA, WI, AZ, MI - we do NOT get what we vote for.

We get whatever is wanted by those who can game a complex, hairball electoral and mass-balloting system.
