Who is this?

Wes Philome and his side kick Faith Dixon, spin the narrative that every white person us running around with a flaming cross and a white hood.

 

Wes spray painted a wall and claimed racism by the Fargo PD. He called it "art"

Did you even read the article?
PetroServe, a Fargo based business that runs lots of ads during NDSU broadcasts, is closing stations because of crime in Fargo in those areas, namely downtown or 13th Ave. 

Did you even read the article?

None of the stores are actively being closed.

At $100k for security each they won’t stay open long. And they are ripe to be sued if another worker gets hurt. The threat of closure is notice.

So they "may" close stores. That's significantly different than your post that said the company "is closing stations."

Just like we heard Walgreens was closing it's San Francisco stores because of crime only to find out it was because there wasn't nearly as much foot traffic as before. 

Or that the KC Chiefs or dozens of other professional teams threatening to move because the taxpayers wouldn't buy a new stadium. 

The owners are using the threat of closing to get free security from the police.

I guess the other option would be to do what Target did and stay open I guess. :silly:

So the lack of foot traffic has nothing to do with SF being a crime ridden, drug infested, homeless s#!thole? Bruh.....be better that this.

Crime in 2023 in SF was the lowest it's been in 10 years and it's even lower this year. Be factual bruh. 

Just because Fox News tells you crime is rampant in big cities doesn't mean it's true. Doesn't this board love to "do your own research?"

The fat guy on Biggest Loser who lost 200 lbs says this is my lowest weight in 10 years......he forgets to mention he still weighs 380 lbs and is marginally better off health wise than he was 10 years ago cause he's still grossly overweight.

watch "the wire' and watch the scene where the guy asks how to make murder stats go away/down.......u really can't...it's a dead body

BUT felonies can be pleaded down to misdemeanors and misdemeanors but be dismissed AND if you take your sweet as time to get to a call and all the "victims" are gone bc it took you an hour to show up does that count on your crime stats?

I expect reports of massive hoards of people rushing the boarder, promises of a middle class tax cut, threats that the stock market will crash.

You're right man, things are going really well right now.  Country is just in lock step all pulling for the ol' USA.

You forgot free college and college debt cancellation for all that qualify (non profits and government workers).

PetroServe is getting ahead of the story before it happens so they don’t have to later. They gave every who what why. They’re serving notice. It’s last call.

This massive notice they're giving? They may close a 13th Ave store and then open a new one in West Fargo.

But, just to confirm... now they're getting ahead of a story?  You said they were closing stores. Which is it? 

They offered the police some ridiculous things to get free security and the police said no.

This is a PR move by a company that sees a store that is further offset from the interstate from its larger, more convenient competitor meaning they're not making as much money as they'd like.

Tell all that to the worker who was hurt. I’d fear lawsuit for unsafe work environment if I were PetroServe.

What story? Why they are planning to close stores.

Someone voluntarily interjecting themselves into a fight in order to protect a multi-million dollar company? 

That's stupid. 

But if businesses chose to close when one employee gets hurt, there'd be no businesses left.

If it’s about location relative to the interstate why close the store at I94 and University in Fargo? 

How long after this quote will you edit your post? The manager was safe until they decided to put themselves in a fight. 

Why isn't the Exxon store in a much better location not threatening to close? 

Why are reviewers feeling threatened by the rent-a-cops?

Beautiful strawman. The violence isn't a big enough problem for the police to invest their time with benefits, but you know better than they do. 

Although, we all know you're someone who takes security seriously, especially when it involves the most powerful person in the world, all the time.
