Councilwoman Bass is black and blacks don’t like Korean store owners in their neighborhoods. I think she’s trying to run them off for her primary constituency.

I bet they like NO stores even less than they like Korean store owners.

I said a million times that the left wants to “oppressed” to just waltz right in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”
QED.

They don’t want people to protect themselves against the animals they themselves have created are.

“My best guess is that there is some other mega corporation that would like to take over, but the Korean business owners need to be gone first.”

Trust me on this, chain stores do not want to be in blighted areas. Several cities have tried to attract chain stores as grocery stores in particular don’t want to locate in high crime areas. It doesn’t matter what the deal is, chain stores will not locate in bad areas. Here’s just one article chosen at random.

You don’t think Asian-owned blight won’t just be replaced by African Anerican-owned blight?

“If the customers are concerned about their ‘dignity’ they can patronize stores without barriers.”

Exactly. Let the free market settle it. If digbity was an issue they’d already be shopping elsewhere. Somebody wants these business people gone for some reason. Race?

The sketchiness of a neighborhood is directly proportional to the number of airplane sized bottles of booze behind the counter at convenience stores.

Is “convenient store” typical up north? They’re called convenience stores in Florida. Just curious.

They’re convenience stores in the Midwest, too. Never heard the term convenient store.

Nuisance establishments like stop-and-gos harm neighborhoods throughout Philadelphia in several ways,” Bass told Philly Magazine. “First, they contribute to increased crime. On any given day, you can find people in front of these businesses selling ‘loosies,’ or loose cigarettes, and engaging in other nuisance behaviors like loitering, public drunkenness, possible drug sales, and even public urination.”

Just take a moment to contemplate all that is wrong with this statement. If you really think about it, you might want to grab a bucket to puke into because it’s that sickening.


Exactly. You are on the city council, be-otch. Why the f-— don’t YOU get some law enforcement to clean up the law breaking going on at those locations. Instead of recommending ANOTHER law that will make WORSE lawbreaking (robbery/murder) likely go happen there!

After this ordinance is passed, and the store-owners have complied, this should happen: After the first robery/shooting, the council should be charged not only with the crime, but with conspiracy before the fact because they knew what would happen.

Right! Her solution to the crime problem is to attack law abiding business owners? the law abiding legitimate businesses are the nuisance? You’re goung to fivht crime by making them more vulnerable to criminals? Tbis may be the dunbest thing I’ve ever heard come out of a liberal’s mouth.

The sleazy customers in reality have no dignity. If they had dignity they wouldn’t be in that store

And, AR-15s are assault weapons.

Politicians always have their facts straight before making policy.

I have never heard the term "convenient store."

The industry group for them is even called National Association of Convenience Stores. or NACS. (I have been to the NACS Show many times)

Also, removing the plexiglass is probably a non-starter.

It's Asian businessowners under attack by a black "leader" who has "experience" and can improve "families". Thanks Oshkalaboomboom.
