She wants retailers to have more security officers in their stores even though an armed security officer would be allowed to use force to stop an organized looting mob.

If the retailers want police to come to their stores they should probably hire the Proud Boys as security.

Shop owners aren’t doing enough but if they do anything that actually stops theft they’ll go to jail, not the criminals.

Heads she wins, tails they lose.

The answer is: Get. Out.

Still true to her stated form that she will only give interviews to journalists of color (i.e., white journalists need not apply) the author of the cited story is guess what?

Her ‘leadership’ has created a power vacuum in that town.

It’s basically telling citizens “You’re on your own.” However, if they actually defend themselves, they will face the ‘Rittenhouse treatment’.

How many ways does their s&^t head mayor want to have it?

If they are being robbed they should say “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” and the Mayor will magically appear to stop the robbery.

How about booby traps and store security with automatic weapons on hair trigger?

"She wants retailers to have more security officers in their stores even though an armed security officer would be allowed to use force to stop an organized looting mob."

What she wants is these stores to hire useless-as-**ts "Big Gorge" types to stand around in a $20-an-hour do-nothing job. Talk about a dog whistle, or maybe a groot whistle.

What the retailers need is good old fashioned Mafia protection.
