Crime In Philly Is So Bad Gas Station Owner Hires Security Guards with Rifles

Philly Gas Station Rifles
bit.ly/2CHLudt
A Philadelphia gas station owner who was tired of the constant criminality that endangered his staff and customers hired heavily armed security guards to keep an eye on his establishment.
The owner stated, "They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level," and subsequently added, "We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs."

"We get up at 4 AM, work until 10, go back in at 4PM , work until 10, catching the last trains home. These hoodlums know when we get paid!" "We're robbed every damn time."

I worked in maintenance in the Philadelphia School District back on the late 1990’s into the early 2000’s. I remember being in a high school where the kids would walk through a metal detector to get into school in the morning. After school started the metal detectors would be PUT AWAY in a closet and then the rest of the day the kids could come and go as they please without going through a metal detector again the rest of the day. This is the perfect example of making the public “feel safe”. It’s a shame.

People being poor is something that correlates with crime rates. Turns out right now personal debt is over person savings being a sign that most people are really poor and debt makes it worse thanks to interest rates. It's also the first time it ever happened at lest that I know of. I assume High crime is everywhere. Anyone who is not aware of that fact still thinks their kids will get to have the American dream when they grow up.

Shit like this is bizarre to me I mean I know cities are full of crime but when you get out of the cities crime like this commonly ? Doesn't exist. Not in the burbs. Not in the country. Just doesn't exist. Cities aside which are a poor example of real everyday life of an American crime has steadily been decreasing overall for the last 20 years. Go look at what the cities were like during the 70s and compare it today. Much much worse. This is why smart people get the fk out of those places so they don't have to live in constant fear.
