The democrat party has been the greatest source of evil in this country since it was founded by slave owners....every malignant problem in this country can be traced in a large part to the democrat party......
Here we have the democrat party policy of increasing the amount of money it takes for a crime to be considered a felony......by increasing the amount, this allows democrat party prosecutors and judges to release criminals who steal out on bail and with little to no jail time....and then they go out and do it again...and they get released again...until businesses just close down and black and hispanic neighborhoods become food deserts and medical supply deserts.....but....Trump.......right?
This week the San Francisco Chronicle reported on the seventh Walgreens drug store to announce it is closing in the city since last year. The problem is a wave of shoplifting from retail locations that can add up to millions of dollars in lost merchandise:
------
The drugstore, which serves many older people who live in the Opera Plaza area, is the seventh Walgreens to close in the city since 2019.
“All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters, ” said longtime customer Sebastian Luke, who lives a block away and is a frequent customer who has been posting photos of the thefts for months. The other day, Luke photographed a man casually clearing a couple of shelves and placing the goods into a backpack…
A recent trip to the store revealed aisle after aisle of empty or near-empty shelves. Beauty supplies appear to be a favored target…
When a clerk was asked where all the goods had gone, he said, “Go ask the people in the alleys, they have it all.”…
No sooner had the clerk spoken than a man wearing a virus mask walked in, emptied two shelves of snacks into a bag, then headed back for the door.
As he walked past the checkout line, a customer called out, “Sure you don’t want a drink with that?”
------
And trying to stop this wave of thieves would be like throwing a pebble in a stream. It wouldn’t make any real difference anyway. A theft of less than $950 is a misdemeanor in California and even if the shoplifters get arrested they would likely be back on the streets almost immediately.
