Turns out we might need more cops on the street in suburban neighborhoods to deal with middle age moms California mom alleged 'ringleader' behind $8M retail theft ring that hit over 200 Ulta stores, others: AG
distinction is I wouldn’t argue that she isn’t real, purely anecdotal and furthermore I believe she deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent. Roles reversed and the accusations of ignoring data and limitless justification of her criminal behavior would be posted 10 to 1. I’ll be on the lookout for your next post about smash and grabs from a flash mob being maga or not reallllllly a crime since it was a business and they have insurance etc etc or if lucky we might get an inspirational Che Guevara quote
My point was people treat this like some kind of urban problem, and they form a certain idea of who is behind it (probably not thinking its suburban white people!), and where it originates.
It originates with anyone who sees opportunity and needs (or thinks they need) money. this one here locally was Chinese based. Virginia Organized Retail Theft Ring Busted, New York Chinese Nationals Charged - Vision Times
Derp. This whole thread is about the prevelance of retail theft - not a justification of retail theft. What site have you been reading? This is another anecdote, albeit hilarious, while retailers post record profits.
Just my opinion, but believe you are inadvertently conflating. For the most part, People aren’t afraid of crime they can’t see. They are afraid of the brazen smash and grabs, knock out game or watching some 80yo getting his face smashed on the pavement. That being said for all I know this lady was buying her goods at 25 cents on the dollar from those same smash and grab groups and selling them for .50.
Got it. Once again city decides what a topic is and isn’t and is fully authorized to change a thread topic to one of his choosing when it suits his needs. Thank you your grace.
Family Dollar stores closing: Nearly 1,000 locations set for closure 3 guesses who this hurts the most. Spoiler alert, the ones city proclaim he is helping with his sage wisdom of all things finance. Meanwhile those in city tax bracket making record income. #virturesignalstrongwiththisone #putdownthenewyorkermagazine
yet another anecdotal point where dollar general didn’t get the FBI report that states unequivocally crime is down. Dollar General is replacing some self-checkouts because of theft
wgb, it appears you've hit a nerve. Some folks don't like someone other than black people being talked about when it comes to retail theft.
Straw man. No one is suggesting retail theft is zero. Therefore you can always find anecdotes. And clearly retailers with failed real estate strategies would rather blame non-existent crime increases rather than their failed strategies . All the metrics show theft is not spiking. Been reported thread after thread. Get a new fake narrative. I’m in Philly today. I’ll let you know if I get robbed.
So they are making changes at 300 of their stores? Isn't that like one or two percent of their total store count?
