Chinese Restaurants Targeted



This past Tuesday night, three Chinese restaurants were targeted for robbery. It's safe to assume they were targeted, they were like in a row. "Sing Lay" one of the restaurants, is a repeat victim. I think it's location makes it a prime target. I was surprised at "Yum's" on Austin Peay, with it's high visibility. The robbers took a added risk. The other one "China Chef", I'm not familiar with. I am annoyed at anyone being robbed, regardless who is victimized. Many people take the attitude, the foreigners are only getting what they deserve. I heard someone make the argument,"that's the cost of doing business".No one is saying much now, it's not gaining much media attention. It's just a matter of time before someone gets shot and killed. The owners aren't going to keep taking it in stride. At some point they're going to strike back. What will we say then, or will we remain quiet? I think we'll get a chance to see soon.
