Philly Gas Station Owner Hires Armed Security To Protect His Business Amid Historic Crime

Back in October, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner said it was “coded and racist messaging” to call dangerous, high crime Democrat cities like his “lawless.” Because he cares far more about being politically correct than he does about protecting his city from criminals.

But while this District Attorney preaches about politically correct language rather than appropriately addressing the historically high and absolutely devastating crime rates in his city, Philly business owners have apparently decided to take matters into their own hands. They’re tired of the lawlessness that is destroying businesses around Philadelphia (and countless other Big Blue cities). They aren’t going to stand by and watch as their businesses are destroyed because city officials like DA Krasner care more about avoiding “coded and racist messaging” than protecting the city.

One Philly businessman has hired armed security to protect his gas station, store, and customers from the emboldened criminals who are destroying Philadelphia. Gas stations are prime targets for carjackings, which have increased exponentially recently, and are easily robbed and looted, which is basically considered socially acceptable these days.

Maybe WaWa would still be in Philly if they’d done the same thing as this business owner and protected their own store when Philadelphia officials wouldn’t. But alas, they were ransacked and looted one too many times for it to be worth it to do business in Philadelphia, and they pulled some of their beloved stores out of the city as a result.
