I’m not even sure how that even works; I thought the purpose of moving away from paper food stamps and welfare cheques was to PREVENT that sort of thing from happening!

The only thing that is slightly plausible is the diversion of AFDC aid: stores that accept EBT cash usually allow recipients to withdraw money at the POS.

Dear Freepers,

the STORES will BE BACK..Much

No Bling No Peace!!

It’s all just another well thought out plot by whites to create an excuse to discriminate against blacks.

Savvy blacks all know that whites behind the scenes were pushing the blacks to riot and burn their own neighborhood down just to give businesses an excuse to move out.

I don't blame them for closing, but you seem to imply that everybody was in on the riots. Probably 1% or so were. The worst rioters came from Illinois.

that whole area is a zoo...the fact that some (not most) of the rioters lived on the other side of an imaginary line changes nothing..they were mostly locals and the locals did nothing to stop them

Imagine a store specializing in selling suspenders in the “urban” community.

Month 1: Zero sales, robbed twice
Month 2: Zero sales, robbed 3 times
Month 3: Zero sales through the 14th, robbed 4 times in half a month, closed doors permanently. Sold inventory to Overstock.com and walked away.

ahahaha LOVE IT!! thank you Revrunt Jesse!!

Suspenders?
Are you racist or something?

that whole area is a zoo...

You don't seem to have any roots in the St. Louis area. I've read from actual residents that many normal, hard-working people live in the area. I think I'll believe them over some racist juvy jack boot in Indiana.

the locals did nothing to stop them

Come back to the real world. And the "locals" were supposed to do exactly WHAT during that three-hour siege? Run up and down the streets firing AR15s? They were barricaded in their houses, idiot.

Welcome to the ghetto economy: hair salons, tattoo parlors, pawn shops, liquor stores...

Whore houses, abortion mills and drug dealers.

...whites behind the scenes were pushing the blacks to riot and burn their own neighborhood down...

That part is actually true.

Care to guess the identity of the "whites behind the scenes"?

People like Lisa Fithian. Organizations like CPUSA, Socialist International (Formerly COMINTERN), Islamic Jihad (If you consider Arabs to be white), etc.

Leftivism on display. Urban decay, loss, destruction, greed, envy, utter chaos.
Way to go social agitators. They need to be shot and so does the media who blew the living crap out of this.

[JimRed]

How many blacks will the closing add to the unemployment rolls?

[JimRed]

i think it’s an inner city issue because you don’t see black suburban residents act like this. but you do see white inner city kids acting like this.

Nope. Inner City is one of them there code words; it means black. Ask any media presstitute!

[morphing libertarian]

won’t comment on whether the closure is related to the post-Ferguson riots and protests

just a coincidence

They are treated with disdain because they get up and work...

[kearnyirish2]

You’re right; how could I over look that?

[kearnyirish2]

Gosh, first I missed nail salons, now this...I got to get out more...

That’s bad...but good.
