Bye Bye REI!

So by my count-

Nike store on 82nd closed due to theft
Walmart closes due to the theft
Now REI

Keep it going and you'll all be shopping in Woodburn.

Very hard to build something. Just takes a single match to burn it down. Notice that not one person on the Tug that votes for dems ever explains why they vote for the destruction of our cities and country.

My family sill living in PDX insists the media is making theft/drug/use/homelessness a bigger deal than it is. Why would you change your voting pattern when you can't acknowledge the shit that is already the result?

I don't know a single person who actually lives in PDX who doesn't say that it's been turned completely upside down. Worse than Seattle IMO.

In Portland, like NYC the press is still running cover. The recent focus is on all the hundreds of millions the state, city and county are spending to solve the homeless problem. Very little actual interest in the mechanics of how all this works. Until you get jailed for being a habitual criminal, people are going to be habitual criminals and crime will still be exploding. Giuliani showed us the solution, but dem voters don't want solutions, they want virtue signaling.

DON SURBER: 327 who are above the law.

The New York Times story did not say what its editors and their flying monkeys thought it said.

The headline said, “A Tiny Number of Shoplifters Commit Thousands of New York City Thefts.”

OK, you don’t need a J-school degree to figure out the message sent. Not everyone in NYC is boosting $4,500 Louis Vuitton purses. It is just a few people. Whew. What a relief to know this.

The subheadline said, “Nearly a third of all shoplifting arrests in the city last year involved just 327 people, the police said. Businesses say they have little defense.”

You see? The looting is by just a few people.

The story said, “Collectively, they were arrested and rearrested more than 6,000 times, Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. Some engage in shoplifting as a trade, while others are driven by addiction or mental illness; the police did not identify the 327 people in the analysis.”

You see? They are just crazy or on drugs.

That was the message NYT meant to send.

The story, however, is you can rob stores dozens of times and get away with it. My question is why don’t more people in NYC just rob stores blind every day? I mean, come on people. If 327 people can get caught 6,000 times and get away with it, what is stopping 8 million people from looting Tiffany’s every morning and Macy’s every afternoon.

New York’s looters are also largely above the law, as well: Andy Ngo: Who funds Antifa protests? We all do. “Last year, New York City agreed to pay tens of thousands to [National Lawyers Guild] members arrested in the Bronx in June 2020…The second most-asked question I’m asked is if mass far-left riots will erupt again. I can’t predict when but the answer is yes. The systems that provide legal, social and financial incentives to far-left extremists, no matter how violent they are, have become better funded following 2020.”

Lol at a car crashing through the front doors of a downtown store on Black Friday.

They were probably getting diapers and baby formula.

Looting is a form of protest, guys😂

Apparently, it isn't covered by insurance. When a leftard tells you that it's just property and covered by insurance you realize that person has the same economic education as the dazzler.

I saw that from the same three idiots on Fagbook during the 2020 riots.
