Look at what happens to the morals of our teens after four years of Obama in office. Dozens of degenerate criminals callously rob and pillage small news and convenience stands all across New York City. Yet the police are doing nothing to stop them. Why would the police ignore such an obvious violation of the law? This also comes shortly after Obama disarms our citizens, leaving them defenseless against mobs like these. Can it be any coincidence that crimes like these spike exponentially after Obama disarms our citizens? Why not just handcuff our citizens and blindfold them?
Who has enough power to get the police to ignore something like this and not even have a real investigation? I'll give you a hint, his name starts with "Barack" and ends with "Obama". Once Obama realized his tax hikes on job creators weren't enough to destroy all businesses, he sends him mobs after the ones remaining! If you're a large business, Obama will tax you into oblivion. If you're a small business who can't afford a large security force, Obama's minions come to ransack your business until you shut down. With Obama in office, it is a lose-lose for America.
This is the reason why our citizens NEED assault weapons!

“I’m approaching the newsstand, and then suddenly there is a tremendous force behind me,” Bennett said.
Bennett ended up with a broken arm.
“I was taken completely by surprise,” he said.
In New York and across the country, the mobs of kids – 20, 30, 40 or more — appear out of nowhere and suddenly charge a newsstand or convenience store.
They ransack, steal and wreak havoc with no consideration for customers, such as Bennett, who get in their way.
“They assemble, they do whatever it is that they’re going to do, and then they disassemble in a matter of minutes,” said Jon Shane, assistant professor of criminal justice at John Jay College. “By the time somebody recognizes what is happening or is injured, if the police are able to respond, it’s slow.”
Raj Shmara owns a newsstand at Broadway at 55th Street. Shmara said his newsstand has been targeted seven different times by mobs of teens. During an attack just last week, the kids threw a bottle at an employee who had to be hospitalized.
“They cost me a lot,” he said.
The increase in attacks and their violent nature has many people concerned.
“I think it needs to be addressed,” said Gale Spitalnik. “It’s awful.”
“It’s disturbing to have that kind of activity happening in New York City,” said Greg Lukasiewicz of Nutley, N.J.
“It’s against the law,” said Edvin Brown of Brooklyn. “They should address the problem [like] they address every other issue.”
The man who manages the newsstand where Bennett was injured said it has been attacked four times in just the past few weeks.
“It’s hard to earn a living, and then they come here and destroy everything, and then they leave,” he said. “It’s sad.”
As quickly as they arrive, the newsstand victims said, the teens are gone — along with thousands of dollars in goods and damages.
Teens have destroyed the newsstand on 57th Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues so many times that the manager has been forced to shut down completely in the afternoon so he doesn’t lose any more money.
“All our displays are broken,” he said.
When CBS 2 contacted the NYPD about the issue, the Department declined to comment.
Meanwhile, many newsstands have turned to putting in their own surveillance to try and deter the attacks — because they feel left on their own.
