Detroit liquor store owner shot dead

The question is how much of that is a negative feedback loop?

If you run a shitty fortress of a store and sell loosies, mad dog, and marked up spoiled food from behind a bullet proof wall, what clientele are you going to attract?

But, of course, you need to cater your store to the clientele most likely to walk through the door.....

So, I guess the question is; which negative feed back is feeding the loop?

Nobody is going to open a Spartan store or a fruit stand hoping that Detroiter's wake up and realize what is best for them. Sorry charlie. It would be just another target for theft and robbery.

I agree with your point, but Lafayette Foods is a Spartan store.
