It’s no fun trying to run a business with liberals in control. In California, shoplifting has been effectively legalized. In NYC, crime itself is virtually legal thanks to bail reform, resulting in store shelves stripped bare. In formerly great Britain, the government even tells business owners not to shame shoplifters by posting their pictures:
Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued advice warning that it “may not be appropriate” to post pictures of shoplifters, the Times of London reported.
Shop owners are forced to resort to such tactics in desperation, because British police refuse to enforce the law, preferring to devote themselves to harassing social media thought criminals.
According to the data watchdog, it would be “appropriate” for businesses to forward information to police or to share a suspect’s identity with managers of fellow shop owners.
They especially don’t want people hurting thieves’ feelings by publicly posting pictures of them.
The ICO stated that posting pictures in staff rooms or sharing them with other businesses would also be wrong.
For shop employees to be on guard against habitual shoplifters might crimp their lifestyle.
The advice comes in the wake of police demanding that a vintage clothes shop owner in Wales take down a sign describing shoplifters as “scum” as it might be taken as “provocative and offensive”.
Actually, Rob Davies accurately described the thieves as “scumbags.” More on that story from Paul Joseph Watson:
Whether implemented by Democrats in the USA or Labour in the UK, the policy is the same: “shield the lawless and facilitate the victimization of the law-abiding.”
Last month, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that shoplifting hit a record high in the year up to March, with 530,643 incidents recorded. This represented a 20 per cent increase over the previous year.
The cost is picked by customers via higher prices until the stores are driven out of business — thereby serving leftist objectives by raising the unemployment rate and potentially making more people reliant on the government.
British Retailers Association director Tom Ironside told the BBC that shoplifting was “spiralling out of control” and said that organised crime has become heavily involved in retail theft.
Liberal policies have consequences so easy to predict that it is hard not to attribute them to malice.
Hhaahahahahah!
They’re kidding, right?
Post those faces so people will be aware that there are thieves in the store.
Don’t shame. Shoot.
Take them out back and beat them
If they can’t shame them, can they chop off one or the other of their hands for STEALING? I mean, it’s the muslim way - which more and more Socialist Democrats are wholeheartedly embracing!
Business owners should post pictures of politicians that support shoplifters.
They aim to drive down the Standard of Living in the US Desperate, demoralized people are easier to control.
Destroying:
Individual
Families
Community
Society
Civilization
Indeed.
Wonderful idea.
All that falls under “socialism”, or Marxism for the more dedicated. All for the purpose of getting rid of the old system because it’s based on greed and capitalism and blah blah blah. But I’ve found that socialists and Marxists don’t really understand their own ideology, or know how it works; they just hate the capitalist system so much that they don’t care what it’s replaced with.
Exactly. This is part of a plan.
They figure it’s to their advantage to convince us that up is down, black is white.
There is a thrift store in Norfolk Va that proudly displays pictures of shoplifters that have been banned from the store.
I remember a gas station owner that pinned every bad check to the wall right behind the register in a small town.
WORD GOT AROUND
Don’t shame melanated immigrant shoplifters they mean.
Put a crown on their head and dit them in a tall chair with the caption “hereye, hereye, living like our other Royals sucking money from the working”.
Better yet. Start posting pictures of the subhuman shoplifters all around their stores. Caption: “If you see this shoplifter in this store, please advise the staff.”
