Bush's fault!!

[Slapshot68]

Why would anyone steal CDs when with very little effort, you can grab free MP3s off the net?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My bet is that shoplifting is no worse than it's been, but the media will play up these stories, and they will become true.

Another successful MSM self-fulfilling prophecy.

*******.“People have lost their jobs. They’re paying more for gas. They are getting calls from bill collectors on their home or car. Everything seems to go wrong,” said Joseph LaRocca, ....*****

Not EVERYTHING!

PEOPLE are programmed to go wrong or stupid or both!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Who’s paying more for gas? Gasoline is pretty darn cheap here!!

[gundog]

I thought it was a sign of a booming methamphetamine economy.

Hey..let’s go. Free CD’s.

Instead of buying the Slim Shady CD, he was out to steal it. Within seconds he had the disc in his pants pocket.

As is NOT my custom, I actually did read far enough to see that he was the loss prevention manager. That being said, what kind of a drooling retard would steal a CD? You can get that stuff on line for pennies.

Stealing hangers from a department store would be more worthwhile.

Franklin Roosevelt got on the television

an average of $350 per U.S. household

WOW!

I feel like such an underachiever now. Others are having to make up for the fact that I'm not contributing a dime to that average!

“...shoplifting is another sign of bad times.”

Bovine manure. It’s evidence that there are some that are thieves, and are of low character.

Not everyone’s’ a victim.

[Dionysius]

Better yet, why would anybody steal Slim Shady? That’d be like trolling for turds.

[weegee]

Increased illegal immigration with scofflaws who violate laws against identity theft, fraud, drunk driving, etc. A youth culture that downloads stolen mp3s and rips DVDs from blockbuster and netflix.

And somehow this is “bush’s fault” that people steal because of “the economy stupid”.

How about an increase from those taking the anarchist-socialist motto “all property is theft” to heart?

1) Slap the dummy for even wanting a Sorry Sucka CD.

2) M-freakin'-P3s.

But Cahill wasn’t about to head off to jail. He is the loss prevention general manager for the Omaha-based retailer and was leading a training program.

I knew there was something strange about the theft! It wasn't real. ;)

My faith in the inherit goodness of humanity has been restored.

They can't help it. They were born that way.

Fake but accurate headline from the Democrats, again.

[oh8eleven]

Consider it another sign of the times.
Consider it another sign of the liberal mentality.

[sodpoodle]

yup - MSM news policy: Accent the negative - eliminate the positive and don’t mess with Mr. Common Sense.

This bad economic news on hedge funds, banks etc., only broke a couple of months ago..........how did everyone get affected so quickly by failures that haven’t been completed yet?

Auto workers are still employed and folks are still buying stuff other than shelter, food and necessities.

[Red Badger]

Increased shoplifting is another sign of bad times?

Increased shoplifting is another sign of bad PEOPLE!...........
