Thoughts on Walmart , Walgreens , and Whole Foods pulling out of

[Clemson Goat]

DEMOCRAT City's... Portland, Chicago, SF... Due to theft and employee safety concerns .

De-funding the police is working out great. My understanding a person can walk into Wal-Mart's and take up to a 1k dollars worth of items and walk out and not arrested... Wal-Mart has los around 17 million dollars.

Walmart shuts four stores in Chicago - halving its footprint in city

Walmart is shuttering half of its stores in Chicago, saying the four stores closing their doors have 'not been profitable' for several years, even after efforts to turn them around.

Edit : Despite this threshold, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office changed its position on retail theft crimes in 2016, 2020, and beyond. The new threshold is $1,000 to charge someone with a retail theft crime in Cook County. Other state jurisdictions have passed ordinances to reclassify retail theft as civil offenses, instead of misdemeanor or felony crimes. Ultimately, the threshold for felony retail theft charges can fluctuate throughout Illinois.

This liberal thinks the leaders in San Francisco and Chicago have failed their cities if you want me to be honest. I might be on the left but these two cities are way too far left for my blood and they deserve the criticism they get. At least San Fran is coming around and even recalled their ridiculously far-left DA ....but Chicago, holy shit, what are they thinking. They vote out Lightfoot because she's too progressive and they vote in an even more progressive mayor that the police union hates. Now 800-1000 of them are planning to leave the force. Makes my blood boil...

I applaud you for criticizing your side. And can I add this moron on the right who wants to give the death penalty to women who get an abortion should be kicked out of office. He is another example of Republicans in this state who think they can do anything if they have a "R" by their name.

Well I mean.. you’ve had ample opportunity to express your displeasure before now but have always insisted on defending anything blue… So why now?

This particular subject hasn't come up that much and before you misunderstand me, I am not crticizing Democratic city admins in general - just these two cities. It started to anger me in San Fran when the DA they recalled -Chesa Boudin - was ridiculously lenient on crime in a city that was already experiencing a spike in retail theft. In Chicago, they've lead the nation in murders eleven years in a row and it's not getting better, so instead of bringing the hammer down, they vote in a guy who's at odds with the police force due to his desire to give money towards unarmed community therapists or some shit. Not in that city, oh hell no. It's just insane.

FYI - San Fran has a very low murder rate compared to other cities so that's not the issue there

The reality is ALL liberals like the butterfly cycle eventually turn into conservatives

I think just maybe he is seeing the light at the end of the tunnnel

Not that is desired by me but I look at the murders in San Francisco and think to myself

What would one expect but the murders

Or Chicago

What would on expect but companies to start leaving the state

People are socialists until they run out of other peoples money

Nice to agree. Voters aren't thinking, and many are not knowledgeable of what's going on. Plus, lots of dollars are being thrown at the ultra liberal candidate, essentially buying elections.

Don't get ahead of your skis Peepaw because I will never be on your side and that's a fact. I've said many times on here that I'm not a fan of the FAR left but I'm blue through and through otherwise.

Again, San Fran has a very low murder rate compared to other big cities, for instance, Indianapolis has five times as many murders. It's the property crimes that are out of control there but at least they're trying to address it now. The mayor has pushed through a large increase in police funding and as I said above, the liberal citizens themselves recalled the soft on crime DA. I expect things to start slowly improving there but it will take a few years.

But Chicago, holy hell, I have no idea what they're doing there. SMH

The stabbing death of CashApp founder Bob Lee has prompted comments perpetuating the notion that San Francisco is dangerous and crime-riddled, but data shows violent crime -- especially homicides -- are well below that of many other cities of a similar size.

dpic73, in your opinion, what is the issue in San Francisco?

Too few police, bad DA's and and open air drug markets that make it a natural destination for drug dealers and users, which also means more homelessness.

For those exaggerating the murder rate in San Fran due to the high profile case last week, you might be interested to know that it wasn't a random killing - they knew each other.

A random killing Vs they knew each other. I believe people knew each other at the recent bank shooting .

This is a joke correct ? At the end of the day people were killed.

A vendetta killing is different than a random killing and if you can't understand why that makes a difference when discussing a city's murder rate, you're being willfully obtuse.

maybe it's those mostly peaceful criminals da's never charge with anything

I agree, thank you!!

Which party and/or organizations have supported defunding the police? Would you agree that San Francisco is a liberal city and has elected "bad" DA's which has helped to foster the open air drug markets and thus more homelessness? Why would anyone support any "local" political system that brings about this type of situation to a beautiful city like San Francisco?

It does not count as a murder if the killer knows the victim

Same with riots as when they are blue related they are peaceful regardless of people killed violence seen and property damages

Same thing as defunding police has nothing to do with huge surge in black on black violence crimes and murders. It is obviously white nationalists doing a blackface undercover event

Hey Big Guy

Let me say I never want you on MY SIDE but chose to be on the side of good walking with Jesus , being kind , humble and despite what you may perceive I work at being compassionate, caring , helpful and engaged with my fellow man

I just do it based on equality of opportunity and agency and consider equity the total work of the devil and Democratic Party who continue to keep many people down in the dirt due to their give away policies and keeping people uneducated

You keep doing what you are doing as you are a smart annoying liberal who is going to turn into a smart annoying conservative

I will probably not be alive to welcome you aboard so I will do it early

Welcome aboard one day in the future you Conservative Guy Will Be

You could argue that being too far left has contributed to the current crime issue but it's also what makes the city cool, IMO. Going back to the Haight-Ashbury days, the counter culture movement and the freedom and openness that followed has created a vibe there that you can't find in any other US city. I love everything about San Fran except for the crime issue. They have always had a different style of governing there - some things have worked, some haven't but we can now call the way they address crime a failed experiment. The good thing is they now have a mayor who is willing to make the changes necessary to address the issues. I think she'll start turning it around.

I probably didn't make my point well but I was attempting to address the false implication, by you in particular, that San Fran is rife with random murders, when it actually has a very low homicide rate. And because the killing of Bob Lee was a such a high profile case, people like you took that as an example of the randomness of the homicide count there. Just pointing out that it wasn't random at all and appeared to be a personal vendetta killing that would have happened no matter what city they were in. Stop saying stupid shit.

Not that is desired by me but I look at the murders in San Francisco and think to myself
