When you can walk out with $949 of merchandise knowing cops won’t arrest you and courts have been told to throw out any charges, well hey, not a bad gig. Do that at a handful of stores every day and there’s no need to get a real job. Let the real paying customers foot the bill. When stores in da hood close down, move your hustle to the wealthy neighborhoods.

One day the BLM (that’s not shockingly disappeared million$$$$$$$$$$ of donations) will figure out how ridiculous it is to destroy their own neighborhoods but more impactful to venture out to the suburbs.

Boo freakin’ who. We’ve lived in a food desert forever and thankful for that choice. No public transportation. No pizza delivery or grub hub.

Both of those concepts were in my plan.

You might be amused by this: I was looking at a warehouse here in Cincinnati. It was currently being used by a mid-eastern convenience store owner for his inventory storage. We had a tour. Everything was counterfeit. It had labels that looked exactly like the real product, colors, logos, everything except for minor spelling difference. Like a “CLARKE BAR” or “SKITTLS” or “M~M’s” COKE COLA. 10000 square feet of that stuff. Hilarious.

Open some stores in safer, more profitable places. For each store opened and running well, close one that isn’t.

Unfortunately, consequences need to happen. If the justice system as a whole refuses to act appropriately, then it needs to happen a different way.

Oh no, the registers had more than 10-15 items listed on the screen. I didn’t get an exact count, but the attendant had to hit the cancel butter quite a few times.

Thanks! So they walked out with a decent amount of free stuff. I was curious.

If it was just a couple of items, maybe I wouldn't have noticed, but when the attendant has to spend several minutes clearing out the items, I took notice, especially that register was the only one open to use at the time.

I hope and pray I never get to the point where I would even entertain the thought of doing that.

The Soros DA here in Los Angeles has over 10,000 backlogged cases because he refuses to prosecute. There are I think 72 Soros DA’s in the country plus the democrat politicians who support the criminals as they themselves are crooks.

Anything can and is counterfeited it seems.
I wonder how big a distribution they had.
Hey, money is money.
