Really?

LOL, I saw it coming, but I have to admit, lefties ARE stupid.

The merchants can make the municipalities notice, by deducting shoplifting losses from their charitable community contributions.

Yeah, but the bag ban accomplished its true goal*, so no examination of the unintended consequences will be allowed.

Austin, Texas instituted a plastic bag ban in March of this year and officials have noticed that shoplifters are trying to take advantage of the new law

Austin, the blue blight in the middle of Texas.

Are the bags the real.reason for an increase in shop lifting, or is the real reason inflation? I know I am making more in my yearly gross than 5 years ago, but my disposable income has decreased almost by half if not more in the same time period and I have now become a serious penny pincher lately. Thirdly, is this just a non story distraction piece so the ball under the cup can be shifted while no one is looking.

So a few poor downtrodden people take some goods from a rich evil supermarket that oppresses its people. At this point what difference does it make?

Devine tried to smuggle lettuce, shampoo and protein powder out of the store,

Ok, the protein and shampoo I can see. Good resale potential on those items but lettuce? Good green goddess, why? The stuff is cheap and perishable. No resale there.

Liberal newspapers push this crap, but they are always exempted from plastic bagging of their papers when it rains.
