Covid has made the world much more black and white. Not in racial terms, but in terms of left/authoritarian vs right/liberty.
While the crisis was used by the media and governments to shut down and bankrupt mom and pop stores, which are usually run by blue collar entrepreneurs who are conservative, and the technocratic billionaires have doubled their net worth.
Luckily, there are still some good honest Americans left out there …
America’s Freedom Fighters is reporting:
Frank Schwagel owns a Shell gas station in Sauk Rapids, Minn. and has been robbed twice in three months, so he decided to fight back by trying to draw customers who might help fend off would-be criminals in the evening hours.
Schwagel hung up a sign that reads: “GAS DISCOUNT FOR ‘LAW ENFORCEMENT’ OR PEOPLE WITH PROOF OF ‘PERMIT TO CARRY’ – 10 CENTS PER GALLON AFTER 7:00 PM DAILY”
“Just trying to bring it to people’s attention that there’s been some robberies going on around town,” Schwagel told WJON-TV. “And these guys are coming in with guns and knives and threatening our employees.
It’s pretty disconcerting. I just figured anything I can do to draw attention to the problem.”
Schwagel says he’s hoping the promotion will increase foot traffic in his store during the evening hours.
“We’ve had to spend a lot of extra money on security, to try to keep an eye on the store during all hours of the day.
I’m also paying people to keep an eye on the store independently. We’re just hoping these guys get caught,” he said.
