It has nothing to do with the stores being where "the cost of living is high". The cost of living is high for everyone, and most manage to get by without resorting to shoplifting.

I don't blame Target or any store for pulling out of an area where shoplifting is rampant. I'm fine if stores start locking everything up because of these thieves. My heart goes out to the employees and the shoppers who pay for the items they purchase. It's sad that now the employees will probably have to transfer to another store farther away from where they live and the folks who pay for what they buy won't have the convenience of a grocery/retail store in their neighborhood.

I can tell you what they do to these people, nothing absolutely nothing. That is why this keeps happening and getting worse. There are no consequences, so why would they stop. This country is so Effed.

13% activity, it’s so sad that they keep the stereotype alive and hurt their own neighborhood while at it.

Billions in losses. One reason for this out of control crime wave is because we have D.A.'s like Alvin Bragg, aka Mr. Softee, who refuses to prosecute. This time its Target - there will be many more to follow as these retailers cannot survive.

They're not "blaming" nothing. It's a fact.

The United States uses military resources meant to keep us safe to spy on, torture, groom, and harass victims of pedophilic abuse. Victims are groomed and forcibly shown deviant sexual content at ages as young as 6 years old. They hack the household devices, including hijacking the television while a child is up and alone. They are forcibly shown deviant content involving animals or disgusting acts that would be illegal for an adult. They target victims this young because this is the age that fetishes are developed and children this young are not capable of understanding what they are seeing is not normal. They are intentionally grooming defenseless children into deviant sexualities. This is also a way to shame victims into silence, they think the more deviant and depraved they are with children, they will be less likely to speak out about what happened to them out of shame. In person they will encourage children below puberty to engage in deviant sexual acts and try to convince them this is normal behavior. Both children and adults are molested and raped through the use of substances that render them unconscious and the only reason a victim might know that something has occurred is because they leave body fluids in or around the victim. When the victims get older there is use of an advanced AI that alters content that they see by inserting references and imagery that would seem normal to other people but has special meaning to the torture victim. This will be repeated again and again indefinitely. This is both for the purposes of psychological torture and to provoke violence Some people are being intentionally tortured throughout their entire lives, they may target them because they think they are easy prey or maybe they were just attracted to that particular child. They use innocuous symbols because there is plausible deniability . A victim that was groomed by pedophiles is repeatedly shown something related to their exploitation. Like a rapist that rapes a woman with a common object for the purposes of torture. They want the victim to relive the trauma as much as possible. The use of weaponized AI would manipulate algorithms to show them what the torturers wanted them to see. The AI would do the grunt work of content modification and categorization.

As shops close in these lawless areas, the same criminals will blame everyone else for their poverty.

This is the long term effect of normalizing looting. Stores are being designated "urban" and being shut down. We need to do better as a community and hold ourselves and our neighborhoods accountable. They need to mobilize the national guard and have them join on patrols with police.

And then they cry racism because the stores are forced to close in their neighborHOOD. That's what happened when Walmart closed a store in Chicago after it was looted and destroyed. After the people cried about it Walmart tried to do the right thing by reopening the store again, only to shut it down again a short time later due to rampant theft. You can't expect businesses to remain open when they can't turn a profit due to theft. It's heartbreaking that the decent people who live in these areas must suffer the consequences because of the selfish criminals.

At the very least we could start with criminals being forced to pay restitution to the businesses and tax payers for court proceedings. If they don’t have the money then they should be forced to work off the debt until its paid. This will never happen though.

I live in Baltimore, Maryland. There was a Target in my neighborhood literally in my backyard. When it closed local politicians demanded a reason for the closing (like they didn't know). When Target didn't publicly state their reason for the closing, local politicians blamed the store. Every time a store closes in Baltimore the local politicians always blame the stores. Can you believe it? Politicians are actually defending theft instead of getting serious about it. Eventually the only stores that will be in Black communities are the dollar stores, the stores they don't want in their communities.

I feel sorry for the employees, especially the lady that has been there for 13 years. Even if other stores "absorbed" the employees, it still affects the workers' lives. People plan their lives around their jobs: school, baby sitters, picking up the kids from school, second jobs, even just having to get use to a different transportation routine and work environment. Eventually, more stores will close and then what happens to the neighborhood? I doubt the security guards get paid enough to even try to stop the type of massive theft in the video.

You obviously dont know what "defund" the police MEANS, it has nothing to do with eliminating funding police and everything to do with re-allocating money wasted on paying six heavily armed swat style cops going out in 3 patrol cars over a DOG BARKING complaint! it means using funds currently wasted on sending six heavily armed swat team equipped cops out on a dog barking complaint is better spent on having an animal control officer trained in dealing with dogs and not equipped or trained to use a 9mm semi automatic to empty it into the barking dog- go out on the call INSTEAD, and with a cage and noose! How many cops did it take to shoot this dog in his own garage while an ACO already had him under control with a catch pole?? Police funds and time there totally wasted, not to mention the LAWSUIT the city had to pay: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaOulquRhsq9nZM.html The back story is the dog was in the garage and accidentally hit the garage door opener, the door opened, he was wandering around on his OWN property, a neighbor called the POLICE, and instead of just having the ACO deal with it, SEVERAL armed cops stormed the house, and instead of just putting the dog back in the garage and shutting the door or letting the trained animal control officer deal with the dog- they shot him 5 times and killed him, narrowly missing the ACO in the process as the bullets sprayed all over the driveway! And HERE is what those renegade cops cost the city for this dumb stunt; over a quarter of a million dollars in a lawsuit; "Commerce City pays $262,500 to family whose dog was killed ... www.denverpost.com › 2016/01/25 › commerce-city-p... Jan 25, 2016 - The Animal Law Center in 2013 filed a civil suit in the case on behalf of Branson that was pending in federal court when the settlement was ..." Now, don't you think city police funds and time would have been better allocated NOT sending several armed cops out on things like a loose dog call, but instead- sending the trained animal control office who has the knowlege, training and EQUIPMENT to capture the dog? Commerce City pays $262,500 to family whose dog was killed by cop Commerce City will pay a $262,500 settlement to a family whose 3-year-old dog, Chloe, was shot and killed by a police officer in 2012. The payout ends years of legal battles between Gary Branson, owner of the mixed-breed therapy dog, and Commerce City’s police department. The Animal Law Center in 2013 filed a civil suit in the case on behalf of Branson that was pending in federal court when the settlement was reached. Halstead said the payout was resolved in mediation. The Animal Law Center said the settlement was the largest of its kind. “I am happy that we have been vindicated,” Branson said. “She deserved justice for what happened to her. This has been a very difficult time for me and am glad that it is now settled.” Records show notice of the settlement was filed in court on Friday. A trial in the civil suit was set to begin in February. Chloe was killed on Nov. 24, 2012, when police were called to a Commerce City neighborhood about a dog running loose. Police tried to capture the dog with catchpoles and used a Taser before Officer Robert Price shot the dog five times. Same goes for mentally ill, homeless calls, drunk laying on the sidewalk calls and other such where other city agencies better trained and equipped to deal with those calls should be sent instead. Thank the residents of the city who constantly vote DOWN police related budgets and legislative proposals and bills because they dont want to PAY for it, and nobody wants a new jail in "their" neighborhood either.
