Too bad the DOJ is focused on all of those domestic terrorists parents attending school board meetings.

(organized retail crime)

And it will get worse.

From amateurs to seni-pros (those that make it a way of life)

Almost a couple of years ago, ran into a guy. It’s all he did. I had no idea.

Huh……

So, if the store has to pay for stuff, but the shoplifters just steal the stuff…..then…..the stores close down?

Who could see this coming?

The left-wing wrecking-ball keeps on swinging. When laws aren’t enforced, it’s open season on retailers.

Ah yes, the joys of Prop. 47. The gift that keeps on giving. Essentially legalized theft up to $950.

Years ago some trash were using their little boy (putting stuff in his pants) as a mule to steal from the Eckerds I helped run.

Oh no! The greedy capitalists are creating ‘drug-store deserts! How are the poor supposed to fill their prescriptions? Won’t someone think of the children?

The cries of “Pharmacy Deserts” will soon sound out, and how this only happens in poor minority neighborhoods.

West Virginia gypsies are the worst. If a WV tag pulls into my driveway, they leave with a shotgun pointed at them. They run every scam known to man.

But not in WV. They don’t play that. The gypsies have to come to Virginia to run scams.

“California law dictates that theft of less than $950 in goods is penalized as a nonviolent misdemeanor.”

California, having decriminalized crime, now reaps the predictable reward.

I’m sensing a trend….
BLM activist claims looting and theft are ‘reparations’. “If somebody decides to loot a Gucci or a Macy’s or a Nike because that makes sure that that person eats, that makes sure that person has clothes, that’s reparations. That is reparations.(August 12,2020 )

And the ‘organizers’ are the local governments allowing/encouraging shoplifting by putting limits that must be reached before arrests/prosecutions can happen.

Wonder if real estate values correlate with who governs a given locale? Put another way why would a rational, decent person want to live or locate a business in any locale controlled by Democrats?
