Chicago is the latest city to be hit by rampant shoplifting and its Magnificent Mile, the once highly-populated retail destination, is now dotted with empty storefronts as businesses are being driven away by the brazen thieves.
The city has been plagued by a string of robberies and a wave of crime in the past few months, as some say that the city’s ‘soft-on-crime’ policies embolden the thieves. The issue may only grow worse as at least 50 cops have been put on unpaid leave for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Shoplifting cases grew more common following a December 2016 motion from State’s Attorney Kim Foxx that mandated Chicago prosecutors only issue felony charges for theft of property over $1,000. – Read more at the Daily Mail
Chicago thieves were seen on camera taking thousands of dollars worth of luxury purses from a store in the city.
Video released by the Chicago Police Department shows two suspects brazenly taking purses from a Bottega Veneta location near the Magnificent Mile. The incident occurred on Oct. 11 around 2:54 p.m. and resulted in thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise, CWBChicago reported, citing the police video and a source. – Read more at Fox News

No interest in visiting a Dem city ravaged by crime with do nothing Soros DA’s. Plenty of great Red state places to visit.
The Democrat party versus the people.
Again.
Reparations, only lasts as long as stores don’t close.
The Democrat party versus CIVILIZATION....................
Chicongo is a Chitshow. Once-great city is never going to get better. Has no future and rather looks like a harbinger of things to come in other US cities.
Price everything at $1000 before coupon.
I think some of those people from North are moving to my county. Lot of strange looking people showing up. Saw my first Telsa last Friday! Looked like Yankees inside it. :)
I have not been there for about 10 years and don't plan to ever go back. I used to have to go there semi-regularly on work-related trips. While I worked, my wife would amuse herself on the Magnificent Mile. If we ever went back she'd have to stay in the hotel room. I'll pass.
Similar to Seattle. Well organized MOBS of looters go into stores and each steal $999 worth of stuff. One small gift shop was cleaned out in minutes like locusts.
With the likes of the dems who are in charge of various cities, America is fast on the road to becoming another Venezuela.
Yep, glad I got Chicago and D.C. and NYC off my bucket list.

Does the $1000 include sales tax?
Is that rule only for blacks, or as a white woman, can I go and shoplift less than $1,000, and expect to get the same treatment by Attorney General Foxx?
That street, and the general area around it, were a lot of fun to visit, along with the usual museums and such Chicago has done quite well.
Of course, now it’s a shell and not worth a vacation.
Yes, that’s the NWO plan to make America third world
NOTE: if the value of the items stolen exceed $1,000 you can bet that they will forget that those items were on sale. No way the thugs will be prosecuted under the present lawless environment.
Feel for the few decent people living in Democrat hell.
