Afrikaners come together on #BlackMonday to protest ongoing farm murdersPhiladelphia 8th District Councilwoman Cindy Bass said that having to see plexiglass represents an “indignity” to her African American constituents and should therefore be banned. Bass is the driving force behind the bill.
Fox News reported that Philadelphia is one step closer to getting rid of bulletproof glass in many of its small businesses. The ban on protection against looters and rioters is being presented “as part of a larger effort to crack down on loitering, public urination and potential drug sales”, but it remains unclear how the ban could contribute to the crackdown.
The city’s Public Health and Human Services Committee passed the bill on Monday enabling the Department of Licenses and Inspections to regulate the bullet-resistant barricades that stand between customers and cash registers, according to FOX29.
According to the bill: “No establishment required to obtain a Large Establishment license … shall erect or maintain a physical barrier that requires the persons serving the food either to open a window or other aperture or to pass the food through a window or other aperture, in order to hand the food to a customer inside the establishment.”
It also calls for larger stores to have bathrooms for customers, creating an additional security problem. The ban has triggered a fierce backlash from worried shopkeepers.
Store owners told FOX29 they feel discriminated against, and numerous shopkeepers are among those protesting the bill.
“If the glass comes down, the crime rate will rise and there will be lots of dead bodies,” Rich Kim, owner of a food outlet said. “The most important thing is safety and the public’s safety.”
But Cindy Bass is more worried about fighting possible “microaggressions” against African Americans than ongoing violent attacks against shop owners. The New York Times recently reported that microaggressions may cause elevated blood pressure.
Philadelphia consistently ranks above the national average in terms of crime, especially in the occurence of violent offenses.
It has the highest violent crime rate of the ten American cities with a population greater than 1 million residents. The city has been included in real estate analytics company NeighborhoodScout’s “Top 100 Most Dangerous Cities in America” list every year since it has been compiled.
Much of the crime is concentrated in the North, West, and Southwest black areas of the city.
“The highest motive we’re seeing is arguments between people … which can be difficult to anticipate,” Philadelphia police spokesman Capt. Sekou Kinebrew said.
He told NBC news that these arguments were not necessarily between friends, relatives or even people who knew each other. They were “disputes that turn violent,” he said.
During the presidential campaign season, President Donald Trump accused Philadelphia of skyrocketing crime rates, but Mayor Jim Kenney bristled, calling Trump a purveyor of fake facts. But murders in the city were up by 20 percent this year.

NewquayJoe Biden's latest painful slip of the tongue is again eliciting much speculation about his mental health. In a speech at the G7 summit, he confused the countries Syria and Libya. Before that he aimlessly wandered into a café appearing disorientated before his wife arrived and dragged him off.
Minneapolis A young black man named Winston “Boogie” Smith was shot and killed during an attempt by US Marshals to arrest him on a felony firearms warrant in a parking garage in the Uptown district of Minneapolis. No Minneapolis police were involved in the incident, yet rioters took to the streets, looting and demanding "justice" and attacking whites. Slogans to kill the police were spotted on the streets.
BerlinIn Japan, upon request under the Freedom of Information Act, the licensing authority published previously inaccessible animal test data on the mRNA vaccine from Pfizer/BioNTech. The data show that the mRNA nanoparticles do not remain at the point of injection in the muscle tissue, as claimed by the manufacturers, but in many cases reach the organs in high concentrations. RT DE asked the German Ministry of Health about its assessment at the federal press conference.
CaliforniaDoctor Christiane Northrup is adamant: The so-called anti-Covid injections are not vaccines. On April 16-17, a very well-attended two-day conference was held in the USA called the Health & Freedom Conference 2021, in which several well-known people participated. The mainstream media has not reproduced a single word that was said.
The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has warned American employers that they may be held liable for "any adverse reactions" if they force employees to take Covid-19 vaccines "as a condition of their employment".
WashingtonPresident Biden signed an executive order in April to allow his administration to "deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government," according to a report in a conservative American publication.
President Joe Biden cheated to get elected to the White House: a Rassmussen poll revealed that 51 percent of American voters share the belief that the election was rigged.
GenevaSwiss epidemiologist Antoine Flahault warned of the risks of the strategy focused on vaccination with current vaccines alone as a solution. He cited the example of the United States.
It seems to be part of the globalist agenda where the World Economic Forum once again appears in the background after a large food chain in the United States joined the Woke movement, now rolling over the declining superpower like an unstoppable steamroller. Labels such as "black-owned", "Latin-owned", "LGBTQ-owned" and so on is being displayed to encourage customers to buy these at the expense of "white-owned" companies.
The US state of Texas has banned state-mandated vaccination certificates. On Tuesday, Republican Governor Greg Abott introduced an executive order to prohibit any regulation requiring Texans to show proof of vaccination before receiving a product or service.
