Armed guards and retail theft rings: America’s streets now resemble a third-world nation as organized crime ramps up, citizens buy ballistic armor

(Natural News) A gas station in Philadelphia, tired of all the crime taking place in his parking lot, has hired armed security guards to patrol the premises, projecting a show of force against would-be drug sellers, prostitutes or thieves. As reported by Fox 5 in New York:

Neil Patel, operator of a Karco gas station at Broad and Clearfield streets in North Philadelphia, recruited Pennsylvania S.I.T.E Agents clad with Kevlar vest and AR-15s or shotguns. “We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs.”

In a society where police are widely de-funded and where citizens are growing increasingly desperate due to food inflation, joblessness, supply chain shortages and worsening scarcity, prepare yourself to see a lot more private security guards.

I’m predicting that before long, we’ll see private security guards at some grocery stores, guarding against flash mob looters that target the meat section of the store.

We’ll also likely see more armed security guards at banks, government buildings and commercial retail locations.

This is something I’ve seen before — in South America, where armed gangs and thieves are a constant threat to law-abiding citizens and business owners. The hiring of armed security guards is a frequent sight in developing nations, but until recently it was almost never seen in America.

Now, all that is about to change.
