Philadelphia Wants To Ban Bulletproof Glass

[Mergie Master]

Bullet proof glass might hurt someone's feeling. You can't make this stuff up.

Outrage as Philly pushes through ban on bulletproof glass in crime-plagued neighborhood shops

Idiots.

Idiots.

Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one thinking that. Idiots indeed.

Did anyone read the article? The law isn't targeting what we think of here as a convenience store with the glass. It's not a liberal feel-good law.

Fox News previously reported the bill, put forward by Councilwoman Cindy Bass, focuses on “stop-and-go” convenience stores that act more like bars than the restaurants they are licensed to be, selling beer and shots of liquor over the counter and attracting crowds that end up becoming public nuisances, according to lawmakers.

Pennsylvania state law mandates businesses with restaurant licenses should regularly sell food and have tables and chairs to seat 30 people. But some businesses keep their seating locked up or out of reach and the grills shut down, selling little more than alcohol and forcing customers to wander outside.

Bass told Fox News in “more than 90 percent of cases they are breaking the law in terms of operating outside the requirement of their license.”


It sounds like they should just revoke some restaurant licenses to me.

Yeah I noticed that too. It's targeting the "beer deli".
