You need a bullet proof vest and bullet proof glass cage if you are in that kind of business--and a gun that Dirty Harry would use in that situation.

"Bassam Khateeb,"

The Arab small shop convenience store located in the hood. Called in NYC a bodega? The Arab or a Korean or some other foreign national the only ones willing and able to operate a store in such areas as the hood.
