So black thugs are now uber capitalists?

...Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that the issue of retail theft in the city has “nothing to do” with a lack of consequences for crime in the city...

Perhaps the dumbest statement I've ever heard a politician make. Here's an idea: Make a statement that says any theft will automatically result in a minimum of 6 months in jail and a $10,000 fine. Then compare pre- and post-statement theft rates.

[Rlsau1]

She’s right though. People steal because the low overhead makes it easy to make those profits. I mean, just look at how rich all the politicians get from doing nothing but making promises and excuses.

[Newtoidaho]

Just when you think the demonrats have dredged up the dumbest idiots anywhere (Xiden, pelousy, schmucky, lurch, obozo etc.) they manage to find others like this imbecile that are even dumber.

[Seaplaner]

They are not stupid, my good FRiend.

However, they think voters are, which is worse.

[Jonny7797]

Oh man, that is a good one. So sick of these morons.

[Eleutheria5]

Play it Jerry Lee

Come on over baby.
Whole lot of stupid goin’ on.
Come on over honey.
We sling BS by the ton.
We keep quaking
‘cause we’re fakin’
Whole lot of stupid goin’ on.

Redundant have you ever heard a rat say something not f’d up?

[Bon of Babble]

Then she can’t understand for the life of her why “her” areas like “South Central” LA are food deserts - all the grocery stores have abandoned the area.

What’s left are check cashing places, hair weave and fake nail supplies and a few friend chicken joints.

[Bon of Babble]

That and vote fraud is absolutely rampant in California.

Question it and be called a conspiracy theorist, terrorist, no-nothing or racist, most likely all four.

[Midwesterner53]

How can one human being be so damned stupid?

[NeverTyranny]

No comment.

[StAnDeliver]

Steal everything she has. Car? Steal it. Put a sign on it: “I have a driver and never use this thing.” House? Squat it. Second house? Squat it too. Credit? Many names, many places. Punch down.Punch down.Punch down.Punch down.Punch down.

[cgbg]

The best way to stop theft is to put thieves in jail.

Why? Because when they are in jail they are not stealing stuff!

[CatOwner]

About the only thing that would “fix” L.A. would be an earthquake of catastrophic proportions. A few days after any diehard conservatives have left the area on vacation.

[devane617]

IOW, This is what reparations look like to whitey.

[CodeToad]

I just want to rob that man’s house, flip him the bird, and say, “Dey is profit ‘n takin’ yor sh***t!”

[Carriage Hill]

Looks like something from the Paleolithic Age.
