Go to the campus bookstore and get more for much less. Such a deal!

Hey Mitchell! (A University of Wisconsin-Madison official), I suggest we also do the same at your house...stop arresting people for stealing your property. Let them have all your stuff. After all, it’s just an excuse for police to come down hard on people who are poor and decide you should share your stuff with them.

What was once called good will be called evil, and what was once called evil will be called good.

I honestly thought this was satire at first.

Al Pacino was right when in “The Scent of a Woman,” he said “If he were the man he used to be he’d take a flamethrower to this place.” Seems to fit the University of Wisconsin to a tee (and most of the rest of what passes for universities and colleges here today as well).

Mitchell, a former assistant district attorney, offered shoplifting as an example, suggesting that communities of color may prefer that police refrain from enforcing laws against theft from large retail chains because responding to such crimes leads to an increased police presence in neighborhoods where shoplifting is prevalent.

Interesting theory. Obviously we need a community that agrees to be a test case. How about it, Wisconsin? You elected this guy. Care to put your brilliance to the test for the rest of the nation to see if they should follow suit?

Cities can zone all minority sectors to prohibit any kind of retailing. That will eliminate both the temptation and the need for as much policing.

“I just don’t think that they should be prosecuting cases… for people who steal from Wal-Mart,”

“Mitchell, a former assistant district attorney, says his comments were not an endorsement of shoplifting.”

Why, yes. Yes, that IS an endorsement of shoplifting.

We have to get people in high places to start pushing back hard against this “poor me” nonsense.

No more RINOs.

I hope Trump says it. That’s what it’s come to, the boss of The Apprentice is the only person who would have the nerve to say “are you kidding, stop whining and go to work”.

We get Rand Paul meeting with Al sharpton. I remember when i worked in Rock Plaza and he was outside and the liberals in my office got excited.

They did not like the words i called him. Can’t reprint them here.

Murder also draws police to minority neighborhoods more often than to white neighborhoods, so why don’t we just stop arresting people for murder. I guess that in a lot of places, most murders go unsolved, so you can say that they have stopped arresting people for it.

Blacks are just looking for a free pass to steal. Then they wonder why there aren’t more stores in their neighborhoods.

Gosh, here’s a great idea, how about you handle your community’s problem with committing crimes to save the police the hassle?

Over policing? Stop treating everyone else’s stuff as being yours. Problem solved.

There has been an effort in recent years for large chain stores to urge shoppers to use their web sites to make purchases and either pick up the merchandise in store or have it shipped to them. I have no problem with that; I love shopping online. I made a purchase a few weeks ago; ordered online on Sunday, walked into the store on Monday and the clerk brought me my items. Ten minutes, tops.

Less risk of things disappearing from shelves in the online shopping model. If stores move to “only available online for pick-up in store or shipped to your home”, then I guess the Everett Mitchells of the world will whine about “stuff deserts” that discriminate against “five finger discounters.”

I noticed the left wants the “poor” to waltz right in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from the “oppressors “ who earn their money legally.

From this guy's bio at the University web site...

He went on to Princeton Theological Seminary where he earned a Masters of Divinity in Christian Ethics and a Masters of Theology in Social Ethics.

Social Ethics degree, huh, and we shouldn't prosecute STEALING?

Then the bio says this:

Mitchell is pastor of Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church in Madison, Wisconsin.

He apparently has had a change of heart:

“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?”

This guy graduated from law school and passed the bar without learning passable English??
