CORONAVIRUS 'It's a lawless city': Philadelphia merchants alarmed by mobs of people shoplifting
ABC ^

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A group of 20 merchants in Philadelphia say policies set forth by the city during the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an alarming epidemic of shoplifting, and in some cases, mobs of people.

In one incident at the 7-Eleven store at 22nd & Market streets, video shows a group of about eight to 10 kids come in and spread out throughout the store. Each starts collecting items from different shelves and refrigerators before suddenly running for the door. The owner says this has happened two to three times since the pandemic.

Democrats have absolutely no interest in helping law abiding citizens.

That is simply a fact.

And when all the businesses close in that area the poverty pimps will yell racism.

If they limit the number of people in the store at a time the poverty pimps will yell racism.

Of course it’s lawless. The police commissioner is named Outlaw.

like Sedition, like Treason, like Voter Fraud,
like allowing rape/molestation by Congressmen,
like allowing rape/molestation by the UN animals,
like ignoring that the FIB ignored terrorist WARNINGS,
permitting it once, only encourages much more.

When Moochelle Obama was decrying the lack of grocery stores in black areas ("Food Deserts"), she claimed it was because of racism.

The real reason stores in these areas close is that they are robbed blind, by both their employees and customers.

"Each starts collecting items from different shelves and refrigerators before suddenly running for the door."

I guess they left out the part where they jumped into their buggies and galloped back to Lancaster county.

Ever notice that blacks like the Obamas or Oprah never invest their money into opening stores in inner cities?

They have the resources to do so yet choose not to.

That’s why Magic Johnson lost money opening stores in hood’ areas. He knew it was a failure. And people dont realize that Compton back then is a lawless place. Today, the mexicans outnumber the homeys. Case in point: I was at the Compton mall on location scouting years ago, and I rarely saw a black dude there the entire time.

Mobs of “people” shoplifting is nothing new. Has been happening for a long time. And since it was allowed, and nothing was done about it, it escalated. With the cops arresting mothers who go out walking with their kids, there are no cops available to protect stores, and so this is what you get.

Nothing is going to be done about this. The politicians firmly believe that the “oppressed” have a right to take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors,” and so they allow this to happen.

You should be grateful you don’t do business in California.

The Democrats here have made “shoplifting” and other petty crimes to be NO CRIME. The police will not respond. If a policeman happens to be there all they do is make the thief give back the stuff and let them go.

I am not sure what their thinking is on this but I guess it makes their crime statistics look good.

Democrat shop owners have no intention of voting against democrats who support shoplifting.

I think I fixed it for you.

The po-lice commissioner in Philly is named Danielle Outlaw, a migrant they hired from the left coast. That can’t be a coincidence.

By Rachel Sharp and Jack Elsom
Five Eyes - the pooling of intelligence by the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - laid bare its scathing assessment of the Xi Jinping administration in a memo obtained by the Australian Saturday Telegraph.
The smoking gun file claims to have found evidence the virus spawned in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, close to the wet market China says it came from, and unearths ‘risky’ research on bat-related diseases stretching back years...
