The Coming Days Of Lawlessness?

Yeah, I know.  Talk about riots, lawlessness and the kind of civic disruption that inspires things like martial law is crazy conspiracy talk, right?  That would never happen in America, right?  Well then I guess there is nothing to see here so move along.

DETROIT (WJBK) -
A Detroit man says his business is being
held hostage by a group of teenagers who continually loiter inside and
out of his gas station.

“There’s
a lot of good people around here,” said the station owner, who wished
to remain anonymous. But now, those good people aren’t coming as often
to the Marathon station along W. 7 Mile Road on the city’s west side.

“This
is a Bad Crew gas station,” said one teen loitering out front on
Tuesday. When asked what that meant, he said, “If you don’t know, I
can’t even tell you.”

Surveillance
video obtained by FOX 2 shows as many as a dozen teens hanging out
inside the store, smoking cigarettes, sitting on countertops and even
spitting into sinks.

The
owner says as many as 40 teens can be hanging out in front of the
station at any time. “Destroying my store. Destroying my business,” said
the owner.

He says his
clerks are too frightened to take action against the teens and he’s
worried that the loitering could lead to violence.

Detroit
police have been called numerous times to the store, but the owner says
right after officers disperse the crowd and leave the scene, the teens
returns to their normal posts.
