PHILADELPHIA - A North Philadelphia shop owner said he had no words to describe his emotions upon returning from India, where he had attended his mother’s funeral, to discover his store had been looted and vandalized.
Bhupinder Cheema had operated a small convenience store near Germantown Avenue and West Cumberland Street, and had invested thousands of dollars into the business. Over the course of trip to Indian, which lasted several weeks, word spread through the neighborhood that the store had been left unattended.

Am I misunderstanding to which Lake Erie you are referring? Your page says TX.
Outside of the Muslim areas and Kashmir I have heard India is very welcoming to westeners.
Ooooo... The new Sig!
Just ask Moochelle.
I’m in Texas these past 20 years.
Fishing is excellent up there though.
Steelhead trout, Coho Salmon, Walleye,Perch,Bass,Pike, Muskies.
I know that neighborhood. That’s not a place to have a store, let alone have a store and leave it unguarded. That neighborhood is not a place to drive through or get close to. It’s a filthy, smelly zoo toilet. It’s exactly what you picture when you read this story, and worse. This looting and vandalism was as predictable as Easter falling on a Sunday.
(shrug) Mr. Indian fellow, reopen your store somewhere civilized. I strongly recommend it NOT be located in any concentrated Democrat parasite nest (”city”). Good luck.
That’s a shame; they’ll watch people walk past the fresh fruit & vegetables and buy Cheetos for dinner.
You can lead a ward of the state to a supermarket, but you can’t make them eat well...
I grew up in NE Oh
I feel very sorry for that man.
Oh, I see; I’ve been through there, and it seems much cleaner than NJ. In fact, in driving across the country, it ALL seems cleaner than NJ.
I gotta have that.
That’s what it comes down it.
I have successfully avoided DC and Jersey all of my life.
Been to NYC a few times against my better judgement.
It’s a shame that these entrepreneurs from other countries don’t have the geographical awareness or understanding of the urban $hitholes where they are risking their investment capital and their lives.
I am not accusing this gentleman of anything and don’t know anything about his specific store but you would be SHOCKED if you knew how much welfare fraud with the food stamp program takes place at these little inner city mom and pop’s. They find ways to sell cigarettes, beer, and anything else using EBT cards if they are not paying out 50 cents on the dollar and there is very little investigation done by the agencies that oversee the programs.
This was horrible but ask yourself why so many of these stores flourish in the inner city.
I also managed to never set foot in LA
Must be Holder’s People on the police force and Holder’s people doing the looting.
Now you know why there are no chain supermarkets in inner cities like this.
They get robbed blind by visitors and employees.
I feel sorry for this guy. Perhaps, he will move to a non-criminal section of the country and succeed.
The town I grew up in is the “Cleanest town in Ohio”
But you can drive 7 mi and be in the hood.
