Reply to comment by jpbrown971 in Police: 4 people shot across from Temple University football field by deep_blue003v

The article states “a few feet” from. The city shouldn’t have permitted this business here.

There’s no valid reason to not permit it tho

To be fair, it’s in the first floor of a privately owned student housing apartment complex. I lived there in 2012. Not just some random hole in the wall on a corner.

Are you saying private business can’t be regulated?

What? How on earth did you get that from a simple statement that it’s in the same building as student housing.

I’d argue shootings at 3am are a valid reason to pull a permit.

What’s wrong with a hookah lounge?

A business that attracts assholes that shoot people at 3am is what is wrong

What neighborhood should that business be put in?

None if it is to be open until at least 3am. Put it in Society Hill.

Why not just set a 2 am curfew then if this is the weird fucking hill you're on? Anyone out at 3 am is up to no good, right?

Armed robberies and violent crime are becoming frequent near and in these establishments.

The belief that weed is entirely harmless and makes users docile is an embellishment.

Hookah is tobacco…

I just figured out something.

You typed, "Hookah is tobacco."

"A" hookah is a container that you heat up to smoke the contents.

You commented on this while completely ignorant of the subject.

You never smoked weed or other drugs out of a hookah? I have.

How many people got shot afterwards though

Vague question. I'm not sure what you're asking.

For all I know, this particular incident was just a random shooting that has nothing to do with the business. Hopefully more details are forthcoming.

But I'd probably avoid being near a hookah lounge at 3 AM in North Philly, if only because I value my life.
