WATCH: Jim’s Cheesesteaks In Philly Hires Guards With Assault Rifles

A video from the reopening of Jim’s West Steaks & Hoagies in West Philadelphia on Sunday shows customers lining up to order sandwiches under the watchful eye of heavily armed security guards. “The violence has spiked,” co-owner Cortez Johnson told WPVI of the city that has seen a surge in murders, many in an area close to the newly reopened food spot. “You want people to feel safe and be safe. So when they come out and eat, they don’t have to worry about no type of harm,” Johnson said. (From YouTube description)
