A Giant grocery chain location in Northeast Washington, D.C. — roughly one mile from the United States Capitol — was among the latest to be hit by apparently brazen thieves who quickly yet calmly empty shelves into carts and plastic bags before apparently making their way through the door without paying.

Democrats support the criminal underclass... it's 'who they are'...

While being upset at “unequal justice,” no less.

I am now completely convinced we are living in the matrix.

That woman staff member that passed by… What would happen if she bashed a can of soup on the sub human’s skull? Lose her job for sure. But I wonder how the next five minutes would have played out. And the next year.

Of course, her shooting the thief dead would be righteous and entertaining.

The real wild west was never like this. On the average it was a milder society that say Chicago or New York. Even back then. You were safer in Dodge City at its worst than in Chicago or New York of Los Angeles today.

True, unless you were actively looking for trouble, you were much safer anywhere in the Wild West than any big city today. In spite of what Western movies portray, gunfights were actually a rarity.

Since they’re so fond of islam, time to bring in the islamic punishment for stealing: chop chop.

This New Yorker article is from 2013, but still relevant to modern crime. From the long article:

The criminal cost-­benefit ­analysis of a bottle of Tide is more straightforward. Most of the people stealing the detergent, Sergeant Thompson points out, are the same criminals who used to break into houses or mug pedestrians—male addicts whose need to feed their habits can foster a kind of innovative streak. “They are smart. They are creative. They want high reward and low risk,” he says.

Theft convictions can come with a maximum fifteen-year prison sentence, but the penalty for shoplifting is often just a small fine, with no jail time. For the most active thieves, says Thompson, stolen Tide has in some ways become more lucrative than the drugs it’s traded for. “It’s the new dope,” he says. “You can get richer and have less chance of doing jail time.”

Which gives all the reasons that the felony bar should be lowered, not raised as all urban DAs have done in the past few years.

Nope. Laundry detergent, pads, tampons, diapers, soaps, tooth paste and shampoos don’t spoil and they go for good money on the streets.

This is very important to remember if there are FOOD SHORTAGES. These sub-humans will clear the stores before lawful citizens have the opportunity to buy what they need.

Personally, I think these lawless thugs should be shot and killed on site. If liberals want depopulation, these animals would be a great place to start.

Make it a law and we’d have a lot less crime. I am guessing it doesn’t happen in most civilized nations.

Walmart bans taking photos or videos within their stores, so imagine recording this there, only to be banned for life when you give it to them as evidence.

Besides their feeling of personal doom, that is why there is a
race to get guns out of the hands of as many people as they can....they know what is coming.

The big groceries will close and all they will have is 7-11 type of stores with high prices and limited products. Then the fools will cry about being in a grocery desert. There is no pill to cure stupid.

And you have perfectly described bodegas up and down the East Coast, and how they came to be dominated by Koreans and/or Asian Indians.

Although here in Texas, Middle Eastern families will often buy gas stations and sell from a convenience store most everything needed, for the family members they then smuggle in from overseas.

No matter. Senators just drive right on by in their electric cars and say, “Oh, too bad you can’t afford gas, electric car, and a house with an electric charging hookup to get to a job! Losers!”
