What happened to the news and footage about the S.E. DC food lion closing because of 500k in theft losses?

Posted on 08/14/2023 1:12:11 PM PDT by Ikeon

I swear I was reading about a SE Washington DC food lion closing because of too much theft.

I saw a news article and a video of the locals angry about losing their only grocery store.

Its now all gone, disappeared from the web and news feeds!

Who wants to business with Thugs?
As far as I know real Amish are pretty independent.
I wonder how well the big city run by Democrats, Amish will do without food?
Probably vote for more Democrats?

It’s in Ward 8, where most of the feral criminals live.

Maybe there is just ONE black entrepreneur in all of DC - who will open a grocery store in Southeast.

Can we find just one?

Surely, the locals wouldn’t steal from a brother, like they would a big corporation? Even then, that person could request all the local “peacekeeper” and BLM organizations to come and stand guard by the door.

I bet there would be Gov’t grants to pay for any investment and construction. If they couched it in “social justice” language, I imagine they could get big discounts on products from fortune 500 food companies. They’d have the whole market to themselves in that area too.

Can we find ONE person to step up??

I remember visiting DC back in 2009 I saw a crew of feral youts clean out a beverage truck in under two minutes. By the time the cops got there, it was all over.

A cop told me they used their “Obama phones” to coordinate the attack.

Democrat elites live in some of the wealthiest counties in the country - those surrounding Washington DC...

They have plenty of great stores.

Democrats don’t give a damn what happens to the ‘black community’. They got theirs. As Biden said to blacks (you all) would be in chains if it wasn’t for white liberal elites... so blacks need to be grateful to white liberals and learn travel for a few hours to buy food.

Store name is Giant. Not Food Lion. Many, many articles about it are available via search.

I found it very quickly using Google. Maybe you’re doing it wrong.

“Probably vote for more Democrats?”

Absolutely! If progressivism doesn’t work, get more progressivism!

About 25 years ago, I took my then-young family on a Sunday afternoon outing to San Francisco. We were driving through a nice part of town and stopped at a light. On the other side of the street, two bruthas forced open a car and were hot-wiring it! We called the cops and I could hear the shrugs over the phone.

I spoke with a black gentleman several years ago

He did asset protection

Told me that some other blacks, when he caught them stealing and stopped them for it, called him an “Uncle Tom”
