After the pentecostal spirit of looting came upon the St Floyd of Fentanyl revelers, Groot was begging WalMart not to leave (after their stores were thoroughly looted). I think WM said something to the effect of ‘We can’t make any promises.’ WM was just biding time until it was safe to leave without being dubbed raysis.

Walmarts' gonna be called racists... or transphobic or some insult. We all now that...

That said, every decent person and company should leave the Chicago hellhole. Don't reward them... don't reward the commies and criminals.

In the Middle Ages, theft was a capital crime. Just sayin’.

"Even when it was run by the machine politics of Mayor Daly it wasn't as bad as it is today under Lightfoot and the new mayor Brandon Johnson who will continue bad policy."

Richard J. Daley was definitely a pay to play machine politician / city boss, but he would never have been onboard with any of the bs that happens today. Here's his ‘shoot to kill’ statement.

They should close ALL their Chicago stores, and should have done so a long time ago.

Industry and commercial entities are not required by law to remain in an area and harvested by the grifters and thugs and — oh yes — Lefty politicians.

Directive 10-289 will fix that.

(Welp, there’s one more Democrat city losing America’s most popular retail chain because they refuse to do anything about crime.)

Thieves deeply saddened.

(Small stores like CVS and Walgreens are going under and getting out due to theft.)

Absolutely correct

Where’s the pictures of the smiling mob of looters breaking into Walmart?

Thanks, Democrats
