This is a black politician embarrassed by her own race. It's not the fault of the stores.

The lengths they go to, to avoid addressing the problem never cease to amaze me. Let alone accept any responsibility for your children's actions, "They cut after-school programs." "There are no jobs." "I can't be expected to know where my kids are 24/7."

Remove the niggers and you wouldn't need the glass. Remove the glass and you are just going to get stores closing down.

korean store owners are providing a service to the black community and yet are now being punished for it along with having their safety jeopardized. They have every right to leave if they do this to them.

Which are currently taxed at 13% sales tax, more than the PA average. Not only is liquor more expensive then the rest of the state, the city imposes more regulations and "fees", as well as insane legal hell with the licensing. Since the city doesnt renew them, you get in situations where a liquor license costs millions to procur, and is very easy to lose. But sure, bullet proof glass is the problem....

Bass is to be commended for fighting establishments that attract crime and other problems in city.

Bit of horseshit here. Little corner stores don't generate crime, it's just they're either an easy target or the only target.

But the portion of her bill that would eliminate bulletproof glass — a sensible protection for employees — has no clear connection to her broader proposal. And Bass’ complaint that customers suffer “indignity” because of the bulletproof glass is nothing short of ridiculous. By the same token, don’t security cameras and security guards also push “indignity”? Aren’t they signals to customers that they aren’t necessarily trusted to abide by the law? Of course, she doesn’t have to pay for more security guards and cameras.

Absolute fact. Businesses have a duty to protect their interests, and that includes the well-being of the staff. It's more than a duty when it's a little family business and it's your kin in the line of fire.

Most stores will have some kind of insurance for stafff and liability. Most insurance companies will not insure these stores due to high risk, no security, and no collateral. So even if the store owner wants to stay open, they wont be able to, since one robbery or crime spree is enough to end them.
