A lot of people in Chicago like Pokémon. But it seems Ronald Reed really, really likes Pokémon.
Reed has been arrested three times since December for allegedly shoplifting Pokémon trading cards. Now he’s facing a felony charge because, according to prosecutors, he stole two rare Pokémon collectible cards from a Mag Mile gaming store.
He started simply enough. In Melrose Park on December 5, he was arrested as he stole two boxes of Pokémon cards worth $240 from a Target store, according to court records.
About two weeks later, he got arrested in the Loop at Target’s 1 South State Street location. Prosecutors said he went to the second floor, took 19 boxes of Pokémon plus 19 individual packages of Pokémon cards, and started to walk out the door.
Prosecutors charged him with retail theft that time. Officials said the cards were worth $565.

Yes, this is just local crime story but it is representative of a total break-down of a society under control of the progressive regime.
Just go to CWBChicago and read article after article of the crimes taking place. Car-jackings, shooting, robberies, and assaults. How are the few remaining retail stores staying in business? How much longer will they remain? How longer will the few remaining law-abiding citizens stay?
A few of today's headines from the site:

"Man shot during robbery in Logan Square is at least the 3rd person shot during holdups this week"
"Burglars raid posh Mag Mile boutique, getting away with huge haul of pricey leather goods"
"Man charged with murdering Northwest Side resident, possessing machine gun"
Mag Mile was the tourist Mecca,where Chicago got a ton of tax money and other perks because of all the tourists.......Wonder what the tourist foot traffic is now?????
A young black man finally gets his small business up and running and the first thing that happens is the authorities come crack down on him, just terrible...

He’ll be back
They only prosecute the easy suspects and cases that will cause little trouble so it looks like they’re doing something. It’s a con as old as time, ensuring a paycheck and a livelihood.
just young black yutes acting like, well, young black yutes. Nothing to see...
Any stealing is wrong, but it’s interesting that he keeps on getting nabbed for committing a crime one would normally expect a 10 year old delinquent thug to be doing. He still hasn’t evolved into more adult pursuits, you know, like holding an actual legal job.
Probably still living for free at Mom’s house.
Wonder if he has Shoe? 🤔
That still arrest shoplifters in Chicago?
Easy arrest. Meanwhile the real criminals roam free.
Muh reparations!
Let’s just keep Satan’s animals running loose in America.... just what we need!!
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To steal them is my real test
To fence them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Steal Pokémon to understand
The money that’s inside

(Gotta steal ‘em all) It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny (Pokémon)...

The entire Pokemon thing is beyond me. Stealing however is as old as time.

Same here. I’ve heard about “Pokemon” for a couple of decades now, but never understand what it means except for it is connected to some computer game and collectible cards which I assume are of characters of the game. Who would steal such a thing?
