The Philadelphia City Council voted 14-3 on Thursday to pass a bill allowing the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections to ban shop owners from protecting themselves and their employees with bulletproof plexiglass.

Philadelphia 8th District Councilwoman Cindy Bass, who sponsored the bill, said previously that having to see plexiglass represents an "indignity" to her constituents.

Services to include morgue, crime scene clean-up, and police chaplaincy programs for the grieving survivors

ok...their sons and daughters should be compelled to work the night shifts in these businesses

[datricker]

How about no!

[nevadapatriot]

Explain indignity to someone just shot in the face by a robber

[Telepathic Intruder]

Political correctness again taking priority over the lives of citizens.

[WeWaWes]

This is nuts! Can they legally do this?

[morphing libertarian]

bkmrk

[dfwgator]

So the black people working and shopping in the stores don’t deserve to be protected?

[LostInBayport]

I would close my store the very day this ban goes into effect, and move out of the city. There are other jobs, other businesses, other places.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I wonder if that is constitutional. The Bulletproof glass is passive protection. It doesn’t hurt anyone. Nobody is offended at the bank drive in window.

[Thibodeaux]

The law is not constitutional and can not be enforced because it is racial

Black tyranny is destroying America, city by city

[Hugh the Scot]

This is precisely where idiocy ends up.

[no-to-illegals]

This ordanence that should be ignored ... imho

[TomGuy]

... plexiglass represents an "indignity" to her constituents.

Getting shot during a store armed robbery can put a permanent mark on one's dignity. So can getting shot dead.

Lib-nuts in action.

[Louis Foxwell]

An armed gaurd behind plexi will do nicely.

[Hugh the Scot]

What part of the US Constitution does this violate?

[ronnie raygun]

And the masses will sit back and accept the death sentence from thug politicians who want them dead, lord knows we cant discriminate against urban thugs who have a right to rape rob and pillage while being protected by city council members

[Thibodeaux]

The civil rights of the owners to their property

[Anti-Bubba182]

They will lose stores.

[RandallFlagg]

This is like making laws against burglary to include arresting people for locking their front doors.

I hope the courts overturn this.
(And the people who allowed this to be thrown in prison)
