Target's numbers for this are off.

While yes there are plenty of criminals Target Co is one of them.

So Target deserves to have people shoplift from the store because they are a bad employer? What kind of insane logic is that?

This kind of logic is exactly what leads to the problem. Everything is being explained away. People are seen as victims of their circumstances; they steal because they are poor, marginalized, profiled, not given opportunity… young people are growing up feeling they are entitled to some sort of reparations from society, they can steal, they don’t have to work, and if they get in trouble - nice people explain to them how they are victims and that’s why they did what they did.

You went straight to race and reparations when identifying the perpetrators. How did you reach this conclusion?

Because young urban black peoples are overwhelmingly responsible for the looting and mass thefts that are being discussed.

Cool story, do you have a source for urban black people being the source of the thefts at target (a store largely located in the suburbs and exurbs)?

Look at Pentagon City. Most of the shoplifters flee to the Metro Station that brought then from DC and PG.

Totally anecdotal but the only shoplifters I have known have been UMC and not residents of DC and PG (your code for minority). Shoplifting was rampant in my DC's high-performing Fairfax Co. middle school, and let's not forget about the Oakton HS girls' basketball team a while back where multiple players were caught shoplifting while out of town. Winona Ryder is another person who comes to mind for having been caught shoplifting.

I’ve been caught stealing. Once. When I was five. I enjoy stealing. It’s just as simple as that.

So you think shoplifting is the reserve of middle to upper class White people. That seems a bit elitist.

Something in the milk ain't clean.

Assuming all inventory is fungible. Hint, it's not.

As for not enforcing for thefts under a dollar threshold, I'm laughing at you all thinking petty thieves are monitoring the news or legislative sessions for determining those limits so they can skirt them. LOL. I'm sure there is a very tiny minority that may. But GMAFB. You think those are any more deterrent than laws re: speeding, texting while driving (I can tell you from driving in NOVA, it doesn't)?

If they said they would not enforce speeding below certain thresholds, more people would be speeding at that level. I think speeding is down after Virginia passed its larger fines. If texting while driving could be enforced, people would do less of it.

Petty thieves certainly know about the shoplifting rules, and more people find out about it as others don't get prosecuted.

They walk miles to the Target in RT 1, shoplift, walk back to the metro and then go home?

No, silly. They highjack a car and drive to the Target n Rt 1 Hybla Valley. It has a better selection of hair products then the Target on Rt 1 near DelRayl

I used to be a fairly prolific shoplifter in my late teens/early twenties. I didn’t need to. It was an impulse control and adrenaline thing and I think most people are the same. The urge went away naturally around age 25, maybe because my prefrontal cortex finished developing or whatever. When I look back on it I can’t imagine how at the time the risk and anxiety of being caught was worth it to me. It’s definitely not anymore.

Well, it's just a simple fact. When I want something, I don't want to pay for it. I walk right through the door. Walk right through the door.

The problem isn’t teenage you. It’s organized crime (the mob, gangs etc)

Following on from Target, Walmart's CEO says high levels of theft could lead to price hikes and store closures.

Ah yes, it's the Democrats' fault. It's those heathen, lawless cities. No crime or shoplifting ever occurs in red cities and states. It's all Andy Griffith, amirite? Cause that's where big retailers are looking to relocate, right? Right? The next Target, the next Saks, the next Whole Foods, the next whatever is just beating down a path to those growing affluent...rural, impoverish jingoistic hellholes, right?
