“I think just about every problem like this can be traced back to massive illegal immigration.”
In the neighborhood of ten years ago, so long before the massive illegal immigration we see due to the current Leftist regime in Washington, I was in the hair care section of my local, rural Walmart. There was an employee manning the area which is almost unheard of. Her job, it turns out, was to lock and unlock the black only hair care products. I asked her about her job, and she nodded at the cabinet saying, “if I wasn’t here everything you see there would be gone before noon.”
The theft problem is because the local governments won’t enforce property rights. I think that’s because if someone has property, they stole it from someone else and that someone else is, by virtue of not being Caucasian, downtrodden by The System, which exists to keep the Evil Caucasian patriarchy in power. (And, in their minds, anyone who isn’t black who eats fried chicken and watermelon are culturally appropriating authentic black culture.)
Virtually all of the civic breakdown is caused by, accelerated by, and advocated for by our government. These are people who probably swore an oath to uphold the law.
I stopped by Dillards to buy some cologne last Friday. I asked the attendant why the sample bottles are all empty. He said "teens" would come in and grab the bottles and bolt for the door. Same thing.
