[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's disgusting. Crime has run rampant and we cannot seem to do anything about it. This is the result of years of liberal policies of trying to shut down police and give criminals more rights. And here we are. I hope all the stores move out of low income neighborhoods. Stop spending money in these areas. Move all services out. These people deserve jail and nothing more.

I suspect there will be a R landslide in the next election cycle. I've never voted R in my life but see now that the soft on crime policies were clearly wrong. These people deserve absolutely zero sympathy. They're thugs and are destroying our cities.[/quote]

Bigoted, vile hogwash. You are disgusting.

How can you watch that video and not see desperate people who don’t have enough food to sustain them, and are pushed to acts of desperation like we see here? People with food don’t riot. People who have hope don’t riot. People who believe the6 have a future don’t riot.  These are poor, desperate people without hope. That’s what drives them to this.

This is what trump has done to Americans. He’s taken away everything from people who had almost nothing to begin with. Don’t blame these starving people rioting to ge5 food for their children - blame trump. He took away what little they had, and gave it to the rich. [/quote]

And you assuming these people are starving because…what exactly? We’ll wait.[/quote]

Every single liquor store in Philadelphia is closed today. So is the Apple store and Lululemon and Foot Locker. Target is shutting down stores in San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, and New York due to rampant theft and violence against employees. Retail robbery and theft cost stores $112 billion last year alone.

It's out of control. This is how food deserts are born as stores shutter. This is how commercial centers die and whither. This is how jobs are lost. This is how prices increase for everyone. And it's just going to continue until communities start arresting and prosecuting the thugs responsible for the mayhem. This has nothing to do with social justice or poverty. These are violent, immoral criminals and they belong in prison. [/quote]
