>>A bill moving through city council reads: "No establishment shall erect or maintain a physical barrier."

Have they been to a bank lately?

Hell even the clerks in court houses sit behind shielded glasses.

Koreans store owners who don’t want to be assualted and robbed be racist.

Also, it is important to close out the top of the bullet proof glass with the ceiling.

They will climb over the top in an attack otherwise.

Da Boyz in da Hood don lak dem bullet proof windas.

Or just threaten to toss a Molotov cocktail over the glass.

The criminals in public office don’t want their protégés to face any challenges.

A local bank got robbed last week. Bullet proof would have prevented that

[TexasGator]

Which city?

What’s the rationale behind demanding the bulletproof plexiglass come down? I couldn’t find it in the article.

[PAR35]

Let’s be fair. Start with the city taking down the bullet proof glass in its facilities. Then the banks. Then think about the mom and pop stores.

This sounds like a Korean hunting-season bill. Are they crazy? The ghetto glass gets put up for a reason.

A decades ago a Washington Mutual bank in SW Houston that had been repeatedly robbed installed a gated door (with metal detector) that only permitted one person to enter as a time. You’d open a door, let it fully close, and then you could open the door into the main bank area.

And it operated in conjunction with the exit door next to it. Only one of the two doors could be open at a time.

Easy answer for that question. It's making it too hard for the Blacks to rob the Koreans.

Or a gas station in South Florida? They we’re bullet proof in the 70’s.

[a fool in paradise]

Sounds like some armed thug customers got triggered.

[buffaloguy]

This has to be LA. Right?

[blackdog]

Bullet proof glass = Ghetto mirror

Looking in it makes them uncomfortable.

It seems that some stations in the late 80 s in NC were as well.
