8th District Councilwoman Cindy Bass and those supporting her nonsense should have their taxpayer-funded security details canceled, and not bulletproof glass in their cars or homes.

Will bulletproof glass also be banned in Philadelphia’s city hall, their police departments, pharmacies that handle narcotics, banks, and etc?

It’s an indignity to buy a meal through such a window, she said

Especially when you are really stealing in through gunpoint. I hope they take this to the next level by taking away all security from politician. I’m its such an indignity not being able to go up to a politician who you didn’t vote for without a security detail pushing you aside.

I’ve been saying for about 3 years that the most radical element is no longer miitant black males, or college aged ANTIFA WM or white nationalist males.

It’s black females, educated at leftist universities. Often single mothers.

I like Sowell and Owens so I don’t think it’s racist.

According to Philadelphia 8th District Councilwoman Cindy Bass, shopkeepers protecting themselves with bulletproof plexiglass represents an “indignity” to her constituents and should therefore be banned. According to Bass, the glass helps “only foster a sense that the establishment – more specifically, its clientele – is dangerous

amazing

Ok, so now instead of just having food deserts, you’ll also have liquor, cigarette, and lottery ticket deserts in the ghettos.

This is an organized campaign to kill those who are not part of the correct tribe. Happening all around us now.

Driving those businesses out those areas is actually the goal. She seems to think that they cause more problems than they provide services.

The important part is:
“... too many of those stores masquerade as eateries when their biggest sales draw is alcohol, feeding vices in the city’s struggling neighborhoods.”
They’re the new prohibitionists.

Let’s unpack the word “racist.” Here it means that non-Whites attack stores and the glass protects Whites, and that is unfair. Whites should be killed by non-Whites so they can take money and goods from the store. Whites should willingly die so non-Whites can have their loot.

That’s what it is saying. That’s what this means.

Reality is that many convenience stores are run by Indians and middle easterners. I’m 100% for the owners setting up protective glass so they can run their businesses safely, as is their right.

Four year old story. Anyone from Philly that can give us a quick update?

Moreover, many blacks and Hispanics own small stores, and many of the whites who own small stores are Jewish or Italian, both of whom have been discriminated against in the past. And none of the store owners like to be robbed, beaten or shot. That’s a great indignity.

BUT- It is OK to demand that EVERY car built in the USA has a device you have to breathe into to get it to start-—Which is a device mandated for chronic drunk drivers.

HOW many drivers in the USA don NOT even drink????

Using their logic, I suffer an indignity every time I go to a store that has plexiglass covid shields at the cash registers. Let’s ban them too while we are at it. I hate those dam things.

The same reason the Black Lives Matter target and burn down black-owned businesses in towns like Ferguson, Missouri.
