The city council, mayor and DAs say it’s due to “poor sales” but the real reason is unrestrained shoplifting.
************
All elites who don’t live near crime infected areas and never step foot in a Target store.
LOL!
We see the crime as a blight on society. Liberals see it as a form of equality. It really doesn’t bother them to read about it.
Unfortunately national taxpayers subsidize these blue cities through federal grants, etc.
but keep voting RAT though
F every liberal shxthole... They get exactly what they vote and stand for.
Cities ran better when there was a strong Mafia that for a fee provided security to businesses.
It’s correct in the sense that Target isn’t “selling” items that are stolen.
IF Target were the last store in my shopping circle, I would widen the circle.
In a way-—it is “poor sales”..
Shoplifters do not PAY, so there is NO SALE TO RECORD on the books.
Ann Davison is supposed to be a law and order DA recently elected so hopefully she will start to crack down.
Victor Davis Hanson: Third-Worldizing America
Authored by Victor Davis Hanson, op-ed via Townhall.com,
It’s called Third Worldization! It’s the utter breakdown of the law, and the ability of the rich within such a feudal society to find ways to avoid the violent chaos.
Neistat was right in identifying a pandemic of crime in Los Angeles as Third Worldization. In a recent online exchange, YouTuber, Casey Neistat vented his anger after his car was broken into and the contents stolen. Los Angeles, he railed, was turning into a “3rd world s***hole of a city.”
The predictable role of the smug, indifferent Third World rich, who master ignoring – and navigating around – the misery of others in their midst. In a medieval-type society of two rather than three classes, the rich in walled estates rarely worry that much about thievery. Crime is written off as an intramural problem of the poor, especially when the middle class is in decline or nonexistent.
Such impoverishment pales in comparison to the encampments of present-day Seattle, Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Francisco. Tens of thousands live on sidewalks and in open view use them to defecate, urinate, inject drugs, and dispose of refuse.
Violent crime is soaring in America. Two things are different about America’s new criminality.
• One is the virtual impunity of it. Thieves now brazenly swarm a store, ransack, steal, and flee with the merchandise without worry of arrest.
• • Second, the Left often justifies crime as a sort of righteous payback against a supposedly exploitative system.
So, the architect of the so-called 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, preened of the riotous destruction of property during the summer of 2020: “Destroying property, which can be replaced, is not violence.”
Third Worldization reflects the asymmetry of law enforcement. Ideology and money, not the law, adjudicate who gets arrested and tried, and who does not.

Fox News: California city/Walnut Creek boosts security budget by $2 million after ‘criminal mob’ ransacks after Nordstrom’s @ Walnut Creek was rocked by a smash-and-grab mob last month!
https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-walnut-creek-security-police-2-million
It’s the leniency of politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom/Gruesome which is ultimately responsible for the descent into barbarism and this organized looting/piracy with masses of looters.
This organized massed looting is similar to a problem our forefathers had at one time. It was called piracy. They shot or hung pirates and then sank their ships with the pirates on board.
That worked for about 3+ centuries until George SoreA$$’s Elites’ took over our blue states, cities, mayors, local and state attorney generals, governors and often, the local police chiefs.
This has allowed George SoreA$$’s elites and his well funded BLMers to have free reign over many blue cities and states and now, the plundering of the Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek.
Forget It, Jakes/Janes! Relax! It’s Now, Not Even Your City/Town/County nor State, any more!
George SoreA$$’s elites control everything now from your schools to the stores where you send your kids and try to buy things.
Even, If you didn’t vote for this, it doesn’t matter!
Your votes were probably not counted nor have been counted for decades, if ever!
I’m sure the democrat leaders of the state are on top of the problem.

Normal bookkeeping entries:
A. Inventory increase==Debit
Cash paid out= Credit
B. Deposit sales income to bank account= Debit
Reduction in Inventory= Credit
SHOPLIFTING entries:
A remains the same
B becomes :
Shoplifting Expense===Debit
Inventory Reduction==Credit
A normal sensible businessman would shut every one of those stores down that has a continuing problem like this and move those stores to small communities.
But, there are very few normal businessmen and women these days. All they work for is to go into the corporate meetings and have their heads patted and told how well they are doing.
Blue city..blue state...blue company..don’t care.
If you’re white you’ll get arrested. Only certified members of Democrat pity-party victim groups get a pass.
You’re right.
Franklin county (FL) is pretty rural and much of the county consists of state forests. Our Sheriff has closed several drug houses recently in our county and we have some problems with theft.
But violent crime seem to be nearly absent.
Why in the hell don’t these stores just close every damn store in Seattle, let them just starve in these cities!!
