In 2015, the West Philly Jim’s location was targeted by armed robbers, who reportedly made off with $215 in cash stolen from the register and customers who were in the store at the time. No injuries were reported in that robbery.
That’s how it is West Philly. Everyone is scared. One time I got in one little fight and my mom made me move to California to stay with my aunt and uncle and their three kids, and I didn’t even get to take a plane.
I live in a dense city, it’s pretty safe. Maybe philly is worse but come on, we don’t live in the wild west or the 80s there aren’t just criminals crawling the streets robbing and killing people
If the shop is hiring armed guards then the problem is obviously but enough to warrant that kind of expense. Why would a sandwich shop pay that kind of money if it wasn’t needed.
Whoever posted this, should post in 2 weeks if the fake cop is still posted there. If not, we can know this was PR stunt and well got take for a ride to provide “organic” engagement.
yeah i was talking about the front lines. US cities aren’t at war and violent crime is largely between people who know eachother or have gang relations
Seems pretty stupid. Keep them safe from what? This is Philadelphia, not Ukraine. Big obvious cameras work fine as deterrents.
It’s to get free press coverage for their reopening. And it worked.
Perhaps we lack context. Maybe there’s been very bad crime problem in that area.
From another article.
So I guess that’s it.
ah so they got robbed once almost a decade ago… got it.

Will! You’re back! How’s the fresh Prince doing?
2015…
…decade ago.
F me
A guy with a rifle is not going to fix that. If anything, he’s going to get jumped and his rifle stolen.
The most famous victims of all, armed men in broad daylight with firearms.
They’re just taken out first, before the robbing starts.
I don’t know. Maybe this?
Probably normal inner-city bullshit.

Think logically.

If it is a for PR stunt, it is a small price to pay for us circle jerking on here for free…
But if it is just PR, they will take that dude down in no time. If only internet would follow up haha
Follow up in what way?
