not all of stockton s problems stem from bankruptcy. the city is home to more than 70 street gangs, and fewer officers on the street translates into a huge uptake in gang violence. this triple homicide brought stockton s homicide rate to 59 this year. unable to count on the police force, local business owners like tony finnegan are taking matters into their own hands. i heard you have a very dubious honor. what s that? that you re the only place in stockton where there has not been a shooting. knock on wood. right. that is that is my understanding. we ve been open for about four years now. and thank god that, you know, it hasn t happened. if you noticed, one side of our building that faces the street has no windows. no windows means no bullets. we have concrete block reinforced with, you know, another barrier out front that covers our patio.
