easilyscan 545 Posted July 4, 2021 This isn't anything new, & it's not unique to California. In the fall of 2019, (months before corona) I stopped @ my local South Central Minnesota Hy-Vee grocery store @ around 10:20 PM. 10 minutes later I heard an announcement over the PA "Store will be closing in 1/2 hour" There's 2 of these grocery stores in my town, & they'd always been open 24-7 I asked the checkout lady why they were closing at 11 ?... She didn't pull any punches. Late night shoplifting is killing us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted July 5, 2021 I can appreciate how devious this plan really is. Make stores convert to online only so that everyone has no choice but to stay home. Get law abiding citizens so pissed at the crime that they decide to take the law into their own hands. They start taking out some of the real trash in this country. Now there are fewer pieces of shlt out there, and they get to lock up the people who are willing to fight for their home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of taking the law into their own hands, people would start hiring the mafia to do it for them. Basically, protection money...to be protected in their own communities since the politicians won't allow the cops to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because we talk about places like SF, LA, Portland, and the like more than others doesn't mean almost every city is run by LIbs. I live in the Denver metro region, but I live i a suburb about 10 miles south of downtown Denver. But just within about 20 miles from downtown Denver in all directions you have cities called Brroomfield, Westminster, Thornton, Englewood, Arvada, Lakewood, Littleton, and Highlands ranch. I'm probably missing a bunch. Those are all their own cities. I can't say what the political leanings of each city is but the point is there a LOT of small cities you never hear about. And most don't have these issues. When you find these types of issues it can almost always be traced back to the laws/polices of the city in question, and in almost if not all cases the political leanings of that city and/or government lean left. Is this really a point of contention? 2) It's nice of you to speak for Cdub. If I were speaking for him, I'd say he was just being sarcastic. But if you're not sure you could ask him.

Everything should be priced at $950.01. And you need coupons to bring them down to the real price, only available after paying for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume the moral code of the public is still crumbling after passing prop 47. Either shoplifting is getting worse or more and more businesses are going under as we go along, or both.
