City Newsstand Owner Refuses To Stop Selling Porn

If it was in back of other magazines, like they do it in most stores, I don't see a problem with him selling it. People obviously want to buy it, so he should be catering to his customers.

Putting up a sign threatening to rape people who complained about it was kind of stupid though. Guess he's gonna lose his business now.

The committee approved a bill to close the newsstand. The measure now goes to the full Council.

yeap.

they tried to do something like this in a town i lived in. well kinda. they passed a law that porn can not be sold downtown. And we had 2 shops that sold porn.

they sued and won.

perhaps this guy should do something besides threaten rape..

Yeah, he took the wrong approach, but a drafting a bill specifically to shut him down?

yeap.

wich is why he should sue the city/whatever. But i think after his threat of rape he may be in for a bad fight.

Are you mentally retarded?
 
City officials say Mouhammed Shaukat was warned to stop displaying pornography at his stand at Sixth and Chestnut streets because of the hundreds of tourists who pass by.

Call me dense, but I would imagine that Phildelphia's growing homicide count is more of a threat to tourists than a newsstand selling porn. It's nice to see the council has their priorities straight.
 
New politician scare tactic: "Vote for me or I will rape you." You think it's unlikely now, but things will get worse as we get closer to 2008. They already say, "Vote for me, or people will kill you."

You will note, I did not say "Republican" or "Democrat" scare tactic. I said "politician" scare tactic. Either side is basically comprised of self-obsessed scum that just wants to get into a cushy job that they can keep for life, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get that job.
 
Unless there's some statute that he's breaking by selling porn, they city can't do anything about it. But if he really psoted a sign like that, then he should get shut down for being a dumbass.

Politicians everywhere need to respond to the electorate. Who can possibly win a re-election when the challenger is screaming about how you let porn be sold outside of Independence Hall? Regardless of whether it?s write or wrong, these politicians are between a rock and a hard place. Sadly, this man?s rights will be violated, but he hasn?t exactly been helping the situation.

The Philadelphia region is a great place to live IMHO. I don?t think I?d recommend that anyone live inside of city limits, but I live just outside of them and I love it.
