Target to close nine stores in major BLUE cities

Shocking...



Target says it will close nine stores in major cities, citing violence and theft

Target said Tuesday that it will close nine stores in major cities across the country, citing violence, theft and organized retail crime.

The company will close one store in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, two locations in Seattle, three stores in the San Francisco-Oakland area and three more in Portland, Oregon.The discounter said it will shutter the stores for good on Oct. 21.

“We cannot continue operating these stores because theft and organized retail crime are threatening the safety of our team and guests, and contributing to unsustainable business performance,” Target said in a news release.

Lol @ safety taking top billing when it's really all about the cheddar. No surprise this happened. They'll just move to online and compete with Amazon. The question is what happens when there are no more stores for thieves to hit?

It's time to bring back some old school:

Deepfat: "I guarantee I beat you by at least 6 strokes. Afterwards, I'll slide my thick conservative cawk in your old lady just to finish the job."

z4: "So when are you available in September to play?"

Deep: "On second thought, I don't play golf with broads. You're such a scumbag that I'd be much more inclined to just slap the chit out of you."

z4: "MMA match works, too. So when are you available this month?

Deep: "I won't subject myself to being in the presence of a scumbag."

I get it's a popular topic around here for whatever reason. Some perspective on the ~2,000 stores that aren't closing:

Looks like Liberals win this round.

Conservatives orchestrate a boycott: stock drops somewhat. Liberals do liberal things: Stores close.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

CVS and Walgreens have entered the chat....


Whole Foods had closed locations for the same reasons. The places in SF that have closed are too numerous to list.

Didn't want racist, bigoted Target stores anyway. If they can't deal with a few rounding errors being stolen then they deserve to close.

I can imagine blue city policies of not penalizing shop lifters will be creating more city food deserts.


Legalized shoplifting becomes a racket, and minorities hardest hit

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/r...es-hardest-hit

excerpt:

....Something like this line of thought, perhaps without the literary references, explains the laws decriminalizing the thefts of items worth small amounts of money. Primary examples include California’s law , passed in a referendum in 2014, raising from $400 to $950 the amount of shoplifted goods justifying a felony prosecution.

Similarly, in New York State, stealing property worth less than $1,000 is a misdemeanor. So prosecutors, many financed by the left-wing billionaire George Soros, in these two large states and elsewhere have effectively decriminalized shoplifting.

Proposition 47 was pitched as a measure to relieve prison overcrowding and defended by an Associated Press reporter as not preventing misdemeanor prosecutions of those filching goods worth $949 or less. But of course, that’s not what happened.

Instead, shoplifting has become a mass, and scary, phenomenon, encouraged by organized criminals who resell stolen merchandise.

Those who see low-dollar shoplifters as 21st-century Jean Valjeans should realize that theft is not necessarily a nonviolent crime and that low-value theft losses can inflict severe damage on those with modest incomes.

It’s like what Jack Maple, an architect of New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s police reforms, concluded when told that burglaries of under $10,000 weren’t investigated in Manhattan. “If you were Donald Trump and had a painting taken,” he recalled, “we would have 30 ... cops there. If you’re poor , you could have your life savings stolen from you, and nobody was going to investigate it, which is outrageous! I just saw what the rule was, and I changed it.”

In most cases, the flash mobs swarming into chain drugstores and bodegas in Manhattan and San Francisco, invariably ignored by unformed security and police officers, don’t take much directly from customers. But they do put people just going about their daily lives in fear of injury or death, the common law definition of assault, and increase the cost and availability of goods in their neighborhoods.

So chain drugstores place under lock and key razor blades and toothpaste and shampoos, which can be sold to organized gangsters who sell them at low prices with no sales tax. Other stores just close, such as Nordstrom on San Francisco's Market Street and CVS branches in Midtown Manhattan.

In southeast Washington, D.C., Giant Foods has removed brand-name merchandise from its supermarket (store brand items apparently aren’t fencible).

That’s supported by local Councilman Trayon White (last seen blaming the Rothschilds for a heavy snowfall), who reports that Giant’s shoplifting loss is 20% of sales and says that, without changes, the store, the only one in the neighborhoods, will close.....

Lol @ your tardo ass, son. I'll tell ya why my kids are crushing it. That shiit starts from childhood. Whether these people need parents to keep them in check or security/cops need to be hired - they need to be checked. You sound like you came from a single-parent home, if we're to be honest, son.

Did that article really refer to Target as a "discount" store? Are they joking? Target is literally Walmart with 50% of the selections at 5% - 20% increased costs to keep the riffraff down.

Blame capitalism, right guise?!

How much longer until leftists discover they’re the baddies, not the capitalists?

This is how Chicago fell, but if you read a lot of Google hits on why Chicago fell, it avoids the real economic story.

Pro-capitalism talk from a dude that constantly talks about stifling capitalists that are better at it than everyone else. Okay, son.

"The good news is that none of the tranny bathing suits or alphabet people merchandise was stolen."

The bad news is that literally no one wasbuyingthe tranny bathing suits or alphabet people merchandise to offset everything that was stolen."

This is one of those rare cases where it all just comes together so nicely.

That could be for the best. Maybe if they have to struggle to evengetfood, then they might have second thoughts having babies who they also can't afford to raise, helping to curtail the cycle those children would be raised in.

Instead, shoplifting has become a mass, and scary, phenomenon, encouraged by organized criminals who resell stolen merchandise.

Those who see low-dollar shoplifters as 21st-century Jean Valjeans should realize that theft is not necessarily a nonviolent crime and that low-value theft losses can inflict severe damage on those with modest incomes.

It’s like what Jack Maple, an architect of New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s police reforms, concluded when told that burglaries of under $10,000 weren’t investigated in Manhattan. “If you were Donald Trump and had a painting taken,” he recalled, “we would have 30 ... cops there. If you’re poor , you could have your life savings stolen from you, and nobody was going to investigate it, which is outrageous! I just saw what the rule was, and I changed it.”[/quote]
Watch, even though the topic is the consequences of liberal policies, all anyone who supported those policies will see is something about Trump

[QUOTE]In southeast Washington, D.C., Giant Foods has removed brand-name merchandise from its supermarket (store brand items apparently aren’t fencible).

That’s supported by local Councilman Trayon White (last seen blaming the Rothschilds for a heavy snowfall), who reports that Giant’s shoplifting loss is 20% of sales and says that, without changes, the store, the only one in the neighborhoods, will close.....[/QUOTE]Giant Foods should look out for themselves and recoup most of that 20% by moving out completely to somewhere else.
I will stand firm, I refuse to kneel - The fury in me is divine
My dark grave awaits, my fate is revealed - But I'm not afraid to die
