Walgreens closed 22 stores in San Francisco where thefts under $950 are effectively decriminalized...
Please note San Francisco Has Become a Shoplifter’s Paradise
“Theft in Walgreens’ San Francisco stores is four times the average for stores elsewhere in the country, and the chain spends 35 times more on security guards in the city than elsewhere,” reported the San Francisco Chronicle.
Earlier this year, a spokesman for CVS, which has closed at least two stores, told CNN that of its 155 locations in the Bay Area, the 12 in San Francisco account for 26% of all shoplifting incidents in the region.
Much of this lawlessness can be linked to Proposition 47, a California ballot initiative passed in 2014, under which theft of less than $950 in goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor and rarely prosecuted.
Meanwhile, politically progressive local prosecutors from Los Angeles to Philadelphia and New York compete to see who can prosecute the fewest people.
This is just plain crazy. And it's another reason for the big backlash I expect in the 2022 midterm elections.
School boards, crime, racist college admissions that favor blacks who cannot read, and critical race theory crammed down kids throats are all part of the extreme Left madness sweeping the country.
In February, I noted Coca Cola Confirms Training Employees ‘Try To Be Less White’
In July, I commented Critical Race Theory Should Be Banned, and a Black Parent Explains Why
"Educators use CRT as their own agenda, to indoctrinate the kids to hate each other," said one black parent to a rousing round of applause at a school board meeting.
In May I noted College Entrance Exam SAT Score Racial Profiling: 964=1223
Welcome to new math that says an SAT score of 964 equals a score of 1223.
“We can’t sit on our hands and ignore the disparities of wealth reflected in the SAT,” claim college administrators.
To compensate for the fact that Blacks score lower on average than Asians and Whites, SAT to Give Students ‘Adversity Score’.
And so here we are. Shoplifting is the fault of Walgreens, not the shoplifters.
This makes about as much sense as everything else sweeping the country.

And the libtard media runs moronic pieces of black people saying “food deserts” and other stores pulling out of their areas is racist.

And these are the dumbed down SAT tests. SAT was dumbed down a few decades ago cause kids were doing so badly it make the pubic skools look bad.
Is the In-N-Out that was temporarily closed in San Francisco for not enforcing the vaccination requirement back open again? It sounds like they are providing food for takeout (no indoor dining). It is their only San Francisco location. At what point does it become more trouble than it’s worth?
Whoops, wrong topic. Sorry.
So are Californians so stupid as to continue voting for their own self-destruction, or is the political system so gerrymandered, and electoral system so corrupted - it only seems so?
Pretty soon the container ships will be made available for looting.
How long before some legislator decides this should be adjusted for inflation? Say, $1,100?
i wonder when they will rule that home invasions that result in less than $950 be decriminalized too-
“Food deserts” are mostly bullshit. But this is how you create them.
Courts will declare merchandise an “attractive nuisance” and hold stores criminally liable for shoplifting.
“ We can’t sit on our hands and ignore the disparities of wealth reflected in the SAT,” claim college administrators.”
Money has zero to do with discipline and studying. One may not have control over how much money their family earns. But, they do have control over the direction and values they chose to instill in their children.
Can’t they just put up a sign that says it’s a shoplifting-free-zone? Geez, do I have to think of everything?
Marxists, esp. those who run and ruin California, always hurt the very people they claim to be protecting, the poor.
To these leftists, the poor, often undereducated voter, is their “cannonfodder” (re. W.E. B. DuBois and the Communist Party’s attempted use of black people as sacrificial troops in the war against capitalism, 1933 or 1934 DuBois FBI files, possibly Parrt 33 or 34).
And these people continue to vote for Dems. That is the most intriguing part of the whole political scene. It just can’t be under-education, sheer stupidity, or being bought off.
I’d love to hear more black conservatives analysis this phenomenon.
Walgreens should add $950 to the price of every item in the store and offer discounts at the register. That way if they walk out with a toothbrush they can be prosecutefd.
Who is John Galt?
I foresee the end of ‘display shopping’. You will go to a desk, order and pay for something, and the clerk will go through an electronically controlled door and retrieve it for you.
Can I have that gift wrapped?
