Just tell them that the mobs of black people cleaning out stores are more orderly than white women at a Christmas close out sale.

Kind of what you get sometimes when a “progressive” society has coddled a segment of the population and fed shite into their heads making them think they’re “owed” something.

This just had to be said twice.

Unfortunately these people will be a drag on society for as long as they live. They don't even have the ability to understand why their behaviors hurt people.

And many have emphatic excuses for why they don't care that it does.

They either decriminalize, refuse to prosecute, or fail to report statistics to the FBI. And just like that, the numbers appear to be”go down” and the typical spin masters show up to gaslight tf out of reasonable, intelligent people. It’s not working anymore.


Statistics vs reality. This is why I don't like people who try to win arguments with numbers.
Especially when they refuse to even consider that those numbers are fudged. And how they are being fudged.

I will not let you cop out for them.

They fully understand right from wrong, I don't care if they were taught wrong their entire life.

Every human being, no matter your race, culture, whatever, knows what is inherently right versus what is inherently wrong.

Do not give them an ignorance pass for stealing.

But AOC told me because of systemic racism, minorities are forced to steal bread to feed their children, but then we put those mothers in cages.

Maybe, AOC thought Lululemon was a type of fruit?

I'd love to see AOC's reaction if one of them reaches out to grab her tip jar.

I just can't understand how casual they were about it. Even under the old laws they should have at least felt some shame.

There's a mall about 20 minutes across the state line from where I used to live.
The gangs had taken it over, and it became very widely known as someplace that you didn't wanna go.
The city took a very interesting approach to that problem.

The city bought out a portion of the building and Turned it into a POLICE STATION.

They need to go further. If it’s 2 or more of them together it should be organized crime/state RICO charges.

They understand.

They just don't care.

They just don't give a shite until it effects them.

A lot of people don't realize that some of these shoplifters are actually part of, or paid by, organized crime rings. Some of which span across multiple states.
RICO could do quite a bit to shutting some of those rings down.

I watch a lot of arrest videos on YouTube. And a lot of people get arrested around here where I live.
It's really surprising of how many people are deluded, misinformed, and think the exact opposite of what the laws really are.

Case in point tho. Like the video shows in the video where they are counting up the cash amounts.
In Cali and a lot of these other states, they will let it go until the amount reaches $1,000 in damages. At which point it becomes Grand Theft.
The smart ones don't get caught with more than $990
Unlike these three.

That's a slip on my part. I get lazy and just refer to them All collectively... Which is a plural form.

Ya know, like how we refer to illegals. Instead of Venezuelans, Haitians, Mexicans, etc.

Same thing with border crossings. They start to fly them in and process them through airports and suddenly the border crossing numbers go down. Problem solved!
