I was at a Home Depot last month not too far from downtown Cleveland, Ohio, and I noticed that one of the two main front entrances now has a one-way gate installed when you enter, forcing you to exit through the other main door where the checkouts are located and numerous employees are around. First time I’ve seen this.
Giving criminals the license to shoplift, loot and steal anything is a simple payment/bribery to keep that criminal Population from rioting.
Also, minimal if any tax $’s are used when the above happens versus armed police action to stop the shoplifting.
