What did you do for them when they pleaded to you for protection, Mayor Lighthead?

The ONLY way I would re-open my WM store is lightfood pays for 24 hr real security and 20 million bond.

The creepy little creep must be nuts. All those stores looted, burned, destroyed, and this little cretin wants them to set the stage for the next riots. Typical libtard nut!

10 years ago I was at a conference in San Antonio and visited a Wal Mart. The cosmetics were under lock and key. I was shocked! I am from small-town Texas. We still have open displays, plastic bags, plastic straws and styrofoam cups. I think the rest of the world and even parts of Texas has lost their mind.

Africanized cities do not deserve to hold captive the great retail bastions of American capitalism. Let them revert to the bazars that serve the mudhut villages of Africa

The people would then move to the suburbs and to other states and ruin them. We're 30 miles outside of Downtown Austin and our Walmarts are closing at 5pm. I thought Texans had more spine than this?!

Walmart in northern Idaho is just limiting/rationing the amount of meat you can buy, which is stupid, because people will just go out and blast a road rat (deer) if they need chili fixins.

Walmart is locking down their stores at 5pm here in Central Texas. TEXAS!!!

Governor Abbott told POTUS Texas didn't need federal help, that "Texas can take care of itself!". Sure, if sitting with his thumb up his butt is his version of taking care of Texas.

Cosmetics and beauty supplies are some of the most stolen items in Walmart. It's hard to prove what was brought into the store in someone's purse and what was stolen. They knew which (ethnic in many cases - I knew some store managers) products were being pilfered, but rather than profile, they punished everyone by locking it all up.

Maybe we should call the “creepy little creep” Lightfoot by the nickname ‘Turdlet’?

They don’t sell wigs but they do carry hair extensions. I say carry because they are mostly stolen not sold as are false eyelashes.

If they don’t abandon Chicago, I’d say they have a screw loose. That little Troll needs to own the problems and destruction caused by her inefficient leadership.

Grocery stores near downtown St. Louis have had armed security at their stores since at least the 90s. ...that I can remember.

Once I saw a big woman stuff two whole fryer chickens in her brazier. ....then walk out. ........must have been real hungry. ......never went back to that store.

BTW they close at 8:30 pm now because of the non-existent virus up here. 5 cases in 2000 square miles with a population of 56000 total for both counties. Corporate Office makes asinine decisions like that all the time without regards to the area.

Why should they? You let him lose millions of dollars of product and cause hundred thousand dollars in damages and you want them to be like it like it’s nothing ever happened
