Gas Station Owner Reaches Limit with Crime in Philadelphia, Hires Armed Guards to Defend Business

A gas station owner in North Philadelphia has reached his limit with the out-of-control violent crime in his Pennsylvania city and he hired a team of armed guards to patrol and defend his business from criminals.

This from slaynews.com.

Neil Patel hired a private security company, Pennsylvania State Agents, to patrol his KARCO gas station at Broad and Clearfield streets.

Patel has a daily armed presence and at least two armed agents on the premise nightly.

He said crime targeting his customers, his store, and his employees was so rampant he had to take this extraordinary step.

Patel said:

[T]here was a shooting at the gas station on Easter Sunday.

People are also shoplifting and selling drugs daily, and an ATM was stolen several weeks ago.

However, he says:

 

[T]he cops are slow to respond so he’s had to take matters into his own hands.

 

Patel said:

Selling their drugs openly.

Cops here, they don’t do anything.

Robberies, stealings, vandalizing my car.

They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level.

He added:

We are tired of this nonsense: robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs.

 

Patel said crime at his business has stopped since he hired armed guards.

 

Andre Boyer of Pennsylvania State Agents said his company is providing a service for people who feel they can’t get help from the police.

Boyer said:

We’re Pennsylvania State Agents and we’re not security.

Basically, what we do is security details when the public calls upon us when the police can’t be there.

The first week there was tension from the public seeing someone with an AR shotgun walking around.

Boyer said:

[S]ome people are confused by their presence and often ask them questions such as: ‘Why are you here?’ and ‘Are we in Beirut?’

Customer Jack Rock welcomed their presence.

Rock said:

I have my license to carry, I’m always ready to go for myself, so it’s like whatever.

It’s nice and safe for me.

I get my juice, go to my car without somebody else jumping in it.

Final thoughts: We are witnessing the democrat/communist/globalist-directed collapse of civilization. And as civilization collapses, people and businesses are resorting to alternative sources of protection.

This is a war between good and evil.

The Left-run large cities have become death traps. And consequently, they will soon be transformed into ghost towns.

Caution: Get away from the cities and prepare for worst-case scenarios. Stock Up and Ammo Up and for a piece of guidance and a sign of what may become read one or more apocalyptic novels. Suggestions: The Road by Cormac McCarthy, The Stand by Stephen King, and One Second After by William R. Forstchen.

God speed to Conservatism and to Retribution. For with Retribution comes Deterrence. And with Deterrence comes Security.
