The Rite Aid at the corner of 8th Avenue and 50th Street in Hell’s Kitchen will close Feb. 8

Thanks for the heads up. Thugs, get all the loot you can before February 8th.

I don’t care what the excuses of the crooks are, reparations or some other form of self entitlement. We need to start holding these thieves and the con artists who call themselves politicians accountable by any means necessary.

“a native of Senegal who lives in the Bronx, where he is a union painter.”

I’m sure all his immigration paperwork is in order.

But they almost never tell him to put anything back or stop him in any way, said the man, a native of Senegal who lives in the Bronx, where he is a union painter.He said he was going to drink the beer with a friend who lives nearby.

thank God we have foreigners willing to do the thievery that Americans are not willing to do.

He said he’s been stealing from stores like Rite Aid for months and has never been arrested.


If there is no correction/consequences they keep doing it..............

same as politicians.

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 NY City, 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.

The above statements excerpted from: Victor Davis Hanson’s: “Third-Worldizing America
Nation & State” ^ | 12-4-2021 | Victor Davis Hanson

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!

The way things are, even if company policy allowed security guards to intervene, they would be charged with battery by some woke prosecutor if the grabbed one of the thieves.

Then when stores close, liberals will bitch about food deserts and how poor folks can’t get their prescriptions and groceries without a long trip. They will bitch how many inner city folks don’t have cars to travel to other neighborhoods to do their business. Yadda yadda yadda. The complaints are coming.

Are the jails just overstuffed? What got this crime escalation ball rolling in the first place? No one can defend it.

You’ll have to get Soros permission to do that.

People don’t shoplift in third world countries. Third world countries enforce their laws.

Thugs, get all the loot you can before February 8th

Would be less trouble emptying the store if all of the staff were just sent home and doors left open with lights on. Safer, too. /s

If only stealing were not prosecuted we could have everything we want for free! Hardly. When stealing isn’t prosecuted, there will soon be nothing left to steal, because nobody will bother trying to sell it.

They’re probably raising prices to some degree at their stores in decent neighborhoods to pay for the losses.
