The Target department store in downtown Seattle is being absolutely ravaged by shoplifters, with one staff member telling me theft happens “about every 10 minutes.” He wasn’t kidding.
On a recent trip to the store on 2nd Avenue and Pike Street, I saw staff confront two separate shoplifters within 12 minutes of one another. It’s so bad that it’s not just the Biden administration’s supply chain crisis creating the empty shelves. And it’s so dangerous that customers can now only buy some products online as they’ll likely get mugged on the way out of the store.
Homeless men and women flood the Target and steal what they can. In Seattle, they won’t get arrested, booked, or charged for most theft.
“For the safety of our guests the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles are only available for purchase on Target.com and Target App via Order Pickup and Drive Up,” the sign reads.

Poor Target. Run by progressives, they don’t want to bail, but there is no reason to stay, other than virtue signaling.
Seattle voted for this. They can live with it.
Its their problem.

Home Depot would be sad, Target who cares. Progressives just keep feeding on their own.
Sounds like the ideal for the Target business model.
The theft and looting attract nasty people.
Who wants to shop in a dangerous store that’s a magnet for criminals?
LOL-—Target supports this leftist crap!!! Haha, there’s your “equality and fairness” first hand.
Target is getting what they support. Lawlessness. Perversion (allowing men in womens dressing rooms) and donations out the wazoo to liberal a&&wipes and here we are. Maybe “BLM” and “defund the police” signs out front will help? hahahahahahahaha
Put 2x guys with baseball bats at the entrance.
Corporate HQ I think is still in downtown Minneapolis.
A normal company would just shut it down - but Target doesn’t want to appear not be woke enough to let people steal.

Electronics desert.
These companies that hoped to harvest public assistance (TAXPAYER) money from our idle underclass are paying the piper...
The level of crime and violence in this country is simply out of control and at insane levels. And its getting worse by the day.
Normal, law abiding citizens live in constant fear — any pay higher prices for everything due to crime.
No end in sight to this madness. We are a country is serious decline.
Remember food deserts? Now downtown will just be a desert. The IP’s will have to roam the ‘burbs for food and forage. Look out ‘burbs...
Flee Seattle. It is no longer sleepless and no longer safe.
The first priority of government is to protect the citizens. When government fails in its primary mission, anarchy reigns.
I’m guessing there will be a domino affect here. Some poor slob is standing in line to pay for his items. And he sees other folks walking out of the store without paying.
Maybe that poor slob is morally weak. So maybe he starts to think about walking out without paying too.
Yes the consumers in non downtown ravaged areas will pay for the excess of the city crime spree. Call it Reparations II.
