Fox News
A business owner whose store was looted told CNN that several people advised him to get out of Philadelphia while he can, saying it was a common attitude in the city.
"Absolutely. I started this business in mom’s basement. I grew up 10 blocks away from where my store is, I have been here 13 years. And since this situation has happened, a lot of people say ‘You know what Jay, it is time for you to get out of this city.’ That hurts me because I love it here, I love the people here. There are so many good people in Philadelphia. There is only a couple bad apples that ruin it. But I think that there is a mentality in Philadelphia to get out while you can," he said.
