Leftists Don't Want You to Notice Retail Theft

'Wide-scale retail theft has reached the stage where a number of stores have closed down, particularly pharmacies. Other outlets have taken to locking up all of their goods so that shoppers have to ask a clerk to bring them out for them. But one sociology professor from Brooklyn College thinks that everyone is just making too big of a deal out of this. Professor Alex Vitale told CNN this week that the focus on shoplifting and retail theft “is usually overblown” and shouldn’t be associated with “the collapse of social order.”'

So a University Puke from his privileged gated community is going to Crime-Splain to the Unwashed. We all know where this is going. Criminals often don't even hide their faces. They load up, walk out, fence the goods to folks who turn around and quickly sell it online at a discount. This is the collapse of social order. We all used to shop and pay for things, and thieves were prosecuted.

'Professor Vitale is very big on social justice, new models of law enforcement, and “The End of Policing.” So he feels that mobs of people looting the local Walgreens is nothing to get too worked up over. He explains that people who demonstrate “anxiety” over shoplifting and retail crime are actually demonstrating “a stand-in for larger concerns of cultural, economic or political changes.” That’s fancy leftist code language which translates to ‘anyone who complains about looting is a racist.’'

This isn't better. This suck, and it's dangerous. But we are supposed to shut up so that we aren't name called 'racists'. Why is calling out crime 'racist'? Please discuss.

 

I lived in Eastern Europe for a while. Every store had a really big man who would watch carefully for shoplifting. Everyone was white. Were they racist?

They also don't want you to notice the armed robberies in broad daylight in store parking lots. But they do want you disarmed.

 

This is the CNN report:

 

But people are noticing:

 

The OP doesn't want you to notice REALITY!

The OP content shows a RACIST video that looks STAGED by someone who KNEW exactly which CAMERA angles to use, in other words a PROFESSIONAL and the LACK of CONCERN on the faces of the ACTORS was another GIVEAWAY. Only the GULLIBLE would believe that video content was factual.

The CLUE to the OP motivation is in the use of the terms LEFTISTS and LIBERALS. By DISINGENUOUSLY associating them with "crime" the OP content is a DELIBERATE attempt at DISPARAGING and DEMEANING leftists and liberals. The PRETENSE that this is about some "rise" in "crime" is just there to OBFUSCATE the actual PURPOSE of the thread,

The OP content is just another PARTISAN load of DISINFORMATION that is probably DERIVED from the Xtofascist controlled GOP for purely POLITICAL ends.

Sad!

 

It's not racist. We know who's committing the majority of these crimes. Look how much it's increased. If California hadn't been shut down in 2020 and 2021, how much higher would it have been?

It's funny how blacks called stores racist for packing their bags and leaving the neighborhoods, but they're begging those same companies to return.

 

Victim BLAMING duly noted.



63% of ALL theft is INTERNAL by the EMPLOYEES themselves.

The retail corporations are WHINING about this but they INSIST on UNDERSTAFFING, UNDERPAYING and IGNORING the advice of their own floor managers.They are NOT putting the necessary means to PREVENT these thefts because they COST more than they are LOSING.

Blaming those they UNDERPAY and IGNORE is more important than actually SPENDING money to REDUCE these sales losses.


The GREED obsessed WORSHIP the Almighty Dollar.

 

This.

And then there is the estimated 32% increase of retail theft with the introduction of self-checkout lanes.

All self-inflicted in the effort to automate and save more money.

But, but, it must be all the lefties fault......

 

Look at how it all went to hell after some of the Left deliberately stoked up a summer of violence to make it more difficult for Trump to be re-elected.

 

They'll probably just muddle thru:

 

I'm glad I escaped California. We don't tolerate such lawlessness here.

 

Interesting. So self checkout makes people want to steal?

 

Where is “here”?

 

TEXAS!!! WHERE FREEDOM LIVES!!!

 

Screw retail theft - the day politicians address online theft and banking scams is the day I will be impressed. No Republican or Democrat in office seems
to make that a priority even though it dwarves retail in person theft.

 

The graph posted shows internal theft at 28%. What on earth are you both talking about? Can you not read your own pie chart?

The **** i read here lol jfc.

 

Nothing special about Texas when it comes to crime ...

 

Welcome to Joe biden's America. Where social justice exist for everyone except you oppressive white people !!!

 

What the hell is safewise.com?

Noticed they didn't break it down by City. Wonder where most of that crime occurs at?

 

So Crime rates were far worse under Ronald Reagan ... was oppression for whites worse back then ... was he a bigger "social justice" warrior?
Hell, Alaska has the highest crime rate of any state - don't know anyone who would call any part of Alaska "woke".

 

You have obviously never been to Texas. No "flash mobs" here... no riots burning down the capital like in Minesota.... the very mention of a law making theft of less than $950 acceptable would get you laughed into oblivion. And we do it without any state income tax and a $30 Billion state government surplus... don't forget that.

 

You would be wrong, again. Been to Texas many times, worked at a number of sites around the state. Nothing special. I'll stick to Montana, thank you.

 

rightest are committing crimes and thinking they are above the law, then they blame crimes of those that do not ever vote on the left... crazy

 

Yep.

 

Worth NOTING in that image that the DROP in CRIME coincides with the BEST Economic Growth ever under Slick Willy.

St Reagan did effall to reduce crime or POVERTY.

That STRONG economic GROWTH under Slick Willy effectively reduced POVERTY which in turn reduced CRIME.
