A group of roughly 45 kids routinely ransack a CVS in Washington, D.C., with many thieves taking the food and beverages and stomping on them, according to a Fox 5 report.

"When you walk into this CVS, you'd think the store is closing because there's barely anything on the shelves," Fox 5 reporter Sierra Fox said of a CVS in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of D.C. "In fact, the only items in stock are the ones that are locked up. I did ask an employee what gets stolen the most, and they just laughed and said ‘everything.’"

"A big group of kids, like 45 or more, walk in before school, after school and late at night to steal chips and drinks," Fox 5 reported Tuesday. "They even throw the food and beverages on the ground and stomp on them, leaving behind a big mess."

"A lot of folks actually can't afford any of the things in there. I'm not saying that stealing has to be the solution to that, right?" another person said.

OK so what? CVS has insurance.

CVS, owned by pro-trans Target. Yawn.

“ OK so what? CVS has insurance.”

Possibly for now. For the future? I foresee soaring premiums at best and refusal to renew policies.

We have a black underclass crime problem in America that can only be solved by separation.

employees need shotguns

[Governor Dinwiddie]

CVS has Whites and Asians for customers in other neighborhoods, Whites and Asians who
cover the "shrinkage" by involuntarily paying higher prices. This involuntarily "tax"
enables the feral ghetto chillun to run rampage on a daily basis. A drug store owned by a
private individual proprietor would close his doors forever.

A streetsweeper with two 30-round mags would nicely solve the problem in an afternoon.

True

Even better is that the Diversity Chiefs at Target (and probably every C level employee) are all for this. It is worth a lot of social credit points in the Virtue Signaling sweepstakes.

3...2...1...until black “leaders” decry food and pharmacy deserts due to racism.

“CVS, owned by pro-trans Target. Yawn.”

No. CVS operates pharmacies in Target stores.

[ridesthemiles]

I see refusals. NOT soaring premiums. Cannot collect enough premiums to cover such looting & destruction.

[albie]

CVS does a good job of “loss leaders”. Advertising 2 cans of Pringles for .50 then charging $12.00 for NyQuil.

And that’s why you can’t have nice things in the “hood”.

[Major Matt Mason]

The insurance company still expects the stores to make an effort to keep shrinkage down, which many chains aren't doing at this point. They can expect higher premiums for their insurance, and shoppers can expect even higher prices as a result. The problem has to be dealt with, period.

Then the “hood” comes to you. I live in a fairly affluent neighborhood, but when I go to the local grocery store, there are plenty of hoodrats there.

with many thieves taking the food and beverages and stomping on them

Reminiscent of Augustine's Confessions in which he admits being haunted by a sin of his youth. He and his friends stole pears from a neighbor's tree "not to eat the fruit ourselves, but simply to destroy it".

My point: as us conservatives rightly try to win the political argument of punishing thieves and sending a loud message that civil societies don't put up with that mess (including jail time), we should do it in a way that projects conviction but not condemnation. While we unashamedly put thieves behind bars we should tell them that the ones who repent and quit stealing can be accepted back into society with the hopes that some of them will be the next Augustines.
