The company didn\u2019t make any bones over the reason for the closures. It turns out that their convenience stores are simply too convenient to rob, and gangs of violent \u201cyouths\u201d have been raiding the stores to empty them out, with employees and legitimate patrons frequently being attacked in the process. In other instances, individual armed robbers or small groups have gone in to empty the registers and threaten the workers at gunpoint.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the end of the bad news for Wawa workers and customers in the City of Brotherly Love, sadly. This week the company announced that nine stores in the rougher parts of the city and neighboring Bucks County will be reducing their hours. The stores will be shutting down at midnight and not reopening until five in the morning. The reasons are the same. Philadelphia is simply too dangerous of a place these days to operate a convenience store and the company will prioritize \u201csafety before your coffee.\u201d (CBS Philadelphia)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Days after <a id=\"reader.external-link.num-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/two-center-city-wawa-stores-close-safety-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wawa announced two Center City locations<\/a>\u00a0are permanently closing for safety concerns, CBS3 has learned nine Wawa\u2019s in Northeast Philly and Bucks County are shutting down overnight following a pair of\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/suspect-wanted-bucks-county-wawa-robberies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">armed robberies.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday night, that suspect remains on the run.<\/p>\n<p>The robberies happened in Bucks County but a store in Somerton is on the list. The Wawa is open to customers until about midnight, but the store will then close and it won\u2019t reopen until 5 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSafety comes first before your coffee,\u201d Kim Dorman said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Does anyone remember the good old days when Philadelphia was a city located in a first-world nation? You know\u2026 the sort of place where crimes, unfortunately, happened from time to time but the police would quickly move to track down the perpetrators and lock them up. A place where the law-abiding vastly outnumbered the lawless and would assist the police with gathering evidence and solving the crimes. Ah\u2026 <em>good times<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that appears to be a thing of the past. Gangs of thieves roam the streets with impunity, with many not even bothering to wear masks these days in an attempt to conceal their identities. Why would they go to the trouble? It\u2019s not as if they\u2019re going to be arrested. The suspect in the two armed robberies earlier this week is still on the loose and the police haven\u2019t even released the name of anyone for the public to keep an eye out for.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the bandits simply aren\u2019t worried about the police. Again\u2026 why would they be? Thanks to the policies of Soros-funded District Attorney Larry Krasner and the hilariously (and accurately) named Police Chief Danielle Outlaw, even if the cops do manage to pick them up, they\u2019ll be back out on the streets in a matter of hours without having to post bail.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in order for that to happen you have to actually find a police officer who is available to track down a suspect. That\u2019s a tall order to fill these days. As of August, the Philadelphia Police Department was more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.police1.com\/police-recruiting\/articles\/philly-pd-is-short-1300-officers-and-the-situation-is-about-to-get-worse-pOUeLq4iMtxELRkt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1,300 officers short of their target staffing levels<\/a>. Disspirited cops are leaving the force faster than they can be replaced. And all of that seems to be fine with Krasner and Outlaw. They both came into their current positions on a promise to \u201cempty the jails\u201d as part of a massive \u201cdecarceration\u201d effort and to \u201chold the police accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It would appear that they have succeeded in those goals beyond their wildest dreams. And it\u2019s the lawful residents and business owners of Philadelphia who are paying the price for it. So now, if you happen to be working the third shift in Philly and you\u2019re looking for a cup of coffee, make sure to bring a thermos with you. And probably a gun, as well, assuming you are one of the few who are lucky enough to obtain a permit. You\u2019ll probably need it sooner or later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this month in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, two local Wawa convenience stores shut down permanently.
