A Philadelphia cheesesteak restaurant has reopened for business — now with assault rifle-carrying guards because of violent crime plaguing the City of Brotherly Love.
A video from the reopening of Jim’s West Steaks & Hoagies in West Philadelphia on Sunday shows customers lining up to order sandwiches under the watchful eye of heavily armed security guards.
“The violence has spiked,” co-owner Cortez Johnson told WPVI of the city that has seen a surge in murders, many in an area close to the newly reopened food spot.
I don't care how good the food is.....If I see an armed guard outside the place, much less blacks lining the sidewalk for a block, I'll just keep driving.....Well unless it's in the rural South.
Good on the owner for doing something I guess......Me, I would just move to a better area.
