Walmart has effectively done just that.

[unixfox]

Might as well stop prosecuting car thieves, jewelry store robberies, bank robberies, etc,etc,etc.

Because well, they have insurance.

[Tax-chick]

“I don’t think [with] Target or all them other places, them big box stores that have insurance, they should be using the fact that people steal from there as justification to start engaging in aggressive police practices, right?”

Such an articulate man, a true representative of the University.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Why not just have Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target deliver a free item each month to all people of color so that they don’t have to bother going into the store?

[BigEdLB]

They used to institutionalize folks who babbled nonsense as a threat to themselves or others.

[ClearCase_guy]

From each according to his deeds, to each according to his needs.

Some people actually believe that????

[DugwayDuke]

Actually, what this guy is saying is fairly common in some liberal circles. I’ve been told by liberals that crime is no more prevalent in minority areas than it is in white areas. According to these liberals, if law enforcement policed the white suburbs the way they do the central cities, there would be no difference in the crime rates.

[mosaicwolf]

Why stop there. Just put a sign up in all stores stating:

"Everything Free for People of Color."

[nightlight7]

A University of Wisconsin-Madison official claims laws against shoplifting are just an excuse to over-police minority communities.

What he is trying to say in his convoluted politically correct way is that "minority community" (Amish?) are much more prone to thievery than other Americans.

[Snickering Hound]

Let’s not prosecute anyone who robs Everett Mitchell house and car.

[Kartographer]

All you need to read from this article:

"I don’t think"

[econjack]

So now they can not only be a bogus victim, if caught now we're supposed to let them go. Who would ever come up with such an idea?

Oh...never mind...

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

His black @$$ is showing...

[blackdog]

I was just in Madistan last weekend. We had the misfortune of being there during freshmen move in week.

This seems perfectly logical to me if you understand Wisconsin's university system. The regents and academics just take what they want from the taxpayers with no recourse. The taxpayers just have to accept it. So the next logical step is for those associated with the university to just take whatever they want or need. In a perverse sort of way it's more cost efficient than all the middle men in the tax collection process. Just eliminate the overheads and just take.

[bert]

rather than prosecuting, store owners should be allowed to administer 20 lashes with a cat of nine tails in the parking lot for all to see

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Everett Mitchell, director of community relations for the University of Wisconsin-Madison said that being director of community relations beat the $h|t outta working for a living.

[Texas Eagle]

Woo hoo! Meet y'all at the University of Wisconsin Gift Shop.

Dibs on the foam wedge of cheese hat.

[Eagles6]

Just as I figured. An AA hire. Would that be affirmative action, african American or both?

[TruthWillWin]

“Mitchell,..........says his comments were not an endorsement of shoplifting”. Wrong! What he said was certainly an endorsement of shoplifting.

[Leaning Right]

Step 1: Stop prosecuting shoplifters.
Step 2: Watch as shoplifting dramatically increases.
Step 3: Watch as stores close down and move somewhere else.

Oh, and don’t forget Step 4:

Step 4: Complain that there are no stores in the area.
